Visa Inc (NYSE:V)
is a relatively recent IPO that provides payment solutions in support
of credit and debit programs to financial institutions. The company has
shown better fundamentals than most in its group, with EPS growth of
49% and 73% the quarter before. Sales growth has been strong as well,
although not as strong as earnings. Last quarter saw 22% with 27% the
previous quarter and 50% before that. The stock has also shown solid
trends, much better than the overall markets have in recent days and
weeks. When the overall markets pull back, this often provides the very
best opportunities for isolating truly strong stocks. Visa has pulled
back in a nice orderly manner to support. We will be looking for buying
opportunities in the stock.

6/23/2008
Almost Family
(Nasdsaq:AFAM) gave

$25.39. - Brandon Fredrickson
6/9/2008
Constellation
Energy Group, Inc. (CEG) has been in a steady downtrend since
the beginning of the year. It
now has three waves of selling in place and has come into support from
the zone of the lows in August 2007 and the 20 month simple moving
average. After three waves of selling a stock has a higher potential
for a larger correction off support. So far the reaction has been
gradual and smack into the uptrend trend channel line. If it can
congest along here, however, or move in for a double bottom or 2B on
the weekly time frame then it will form a strong reversal that can
quickly take it back into $100, or higher with very little effort. This
may take a few weeks to a few months to develop.
6/9/2008

6/2/2008
McCormick &
Company, Incorporated (MKC) gave an early buy

this range. It has highs so far of $38.13 (+$0.40, +1.06%). Closed Friday at $37.12

Friday at $57.00
4/21/2008
Old
Dominion Freight Line, Inc. (ODFL) operates as a
less-than-truckload multi-regional motor carrier primarily in the
United States. Since July 2005 ODFL has had two strong pullbacks on the
monthly time
frame. This took the stock back into support from the correction which
took place throughout 2005. Typically a two-wave pullback at highs in a
security will lead to a continuation pattern on the upside. ODFL began
to rally out of this pattern in January and began to chop around near
last year's highs over the past two and a half months. I will begin to
build a position on daily setups for a larger continuation to new
all-time highs. My target zone is between $42-46.
Watch Stocks:
Short: M D C Holdings Inc. (MDC)
4/21/2008 Axcelis Technologies Inc. (ACLS) gave
an initial buy trigger on 5/1/2008 over $5.44. It has highs so
far
of $6.04 (+$0.60, +11.03%).
Some trailing stops hit under $5.68 on channel break.
4/7/2008 Rowan
Companies, Inc (RDC) gave
an initial buy trigger on 4/18/2008 over $41.78. It has highs so
far
of $47.72 (+$5.93, +14.19%).
My initial target is $53.
Watch Stocks:
Long: Saul Ctrs Inc. (BFS)
remove from watch.
4/7/2008 Taubman
Ctrs. Inc. (TCO)
gave
a watch list buy trigger on 4/16/2008 over $53.35. It has highs so
far
of $58.90 (+$5.55, +10.4%).
Was expected to correct further, so it may have taken many out who kept
tight stops.
3/31/2008 Swift
Energy Company (SFY) gave
an initial swingtrade buy trigger on
4/4/2008 over $45.89. It came into initial resistance in the
$50 zone with highs of $65.00 (+$19.11, +41.64%). This is likely to begin to correct soon
so can initialize trailing stops.
3/3/2008
Universal
Health Services Inc. (UHS) gave
a watch list buy trigger on 3/25/2008 over $51.82. It has highs so
far
of $65.87 (+$14.05, +27.11%).
2/4/2008 Bank Mutual
Corporation (BKMU) remove from watch.
2/4/2008 Patterson Uti
Energy Inc. (PTEN) gave
a watch list buy trigger on 2/4/2008 at $20.96. It has highs so
far
of $36.30 (+$13.11, +56.53%).
Initial resistance hit.
2/4/2008 Longs to watch: Hanover Ins Group
Inc. (THG)
11/26/2007 Greif,
Inc. (GEF) Over
the next couple of months I'll be monitoring GEF for more gradual
corrections off the upper end of this range on light volume to begin
building a position. I am looking for a break higher in GEF in
mid-2008. Initial trigger on 11/28/2007. 1/28/2008, 2/26/2008, and 3/24/2008 offered additional entry triggers. It
has highs so
far
of $73.00.
11/12/2007 Lilly
Eli & Co. (LLY) gave a short setup on 12/31/2007 under
$53.71. It has lows of $45.57 (+$8.14,
+15.16%). Some trailing stops hit.
10/22/2007 NDS Group (NNDS)
gave
an early buy trigger on 11/28/2007 over $56. It has highs so
far
of $63.57 (+$7.57, +13.52%). Now giving
the larger weekly correction we were looking at.
9/24/2007 Martek Biosciences
Corp. (MATK)
gave an initial buy trigger on 9/24/2007 over $28.84. It has highs so
far
of $37.99 (+$9.15, +31.73%). Some
trailing stops hit. This looks lower this week, so can use right
trailing stop on the rest unless willing to hold to the 20 month sma.
9/10/2007 Automatic
Data Processing Inc. (ADP)
gave a short
setup on 9/10/2007 under $44.61. It has lows of $37.75 (+$6.86,
+15.38%). Trailing stops hit for many.
8/6/2007 Chesapeake Energy
Corporation (CHK) gave an initial
setup on
8/31/2007 over $32.06, but it can still have one more flush left in it
on the monthly time time. It has highs of $68.10
(+$36.04, +112.41%). Initial targets hit. Some
trailing stops hit.
12/4/2006 Chesapeake Energy
Corp. (CHK) gave a buy setup on 2/23/2007 at $30.08.
It reached highs of $68.10 (+$38.08, +126.406%) so far. Initial targets hit.
