Intuitive Surgical Inc. (ISRG), together with its subsidiaries, engages in the design, manufacture, and marketing of da Vinci surgical systems for use in urologic, cardiothoracic, gynecologic, and general surgeries.

Sector: Healthcare  
Industry: Medical Appliances & Equipment

ISRG was on a rampage last year, having its strongest move in its history. The stock had rallied sharply in 2005 and then corrected throughout 2006. It has been been in a second corrective phase on the monthly time frame since late last year. It suffered sharp losses last earning season, but has begun to recover after hitting lows earlier this month. This marks the second pullback off highs since the stock peaked in 2007. Many corrections will form in this manner before picking up steam as a continuation pattern. The pullback in 2006 also had this two-wave move, although it then congested before it confirmed with a break in early 2007. I am looking for this correction to also perform in a similar manner. Use the 60 minute and daily time frame to begin accumulating a position. This is a position with a potential holding period of up to 18 months.

Updates on Open Positions

View here for a complete track record since Dec. 2002.*
Positions in green have triggered and are profitable. Positions in red have triggered but are not yet profitable. Those in blue have not yet triggered.

NOTE: A lot of positions were closed this past week with trailing stops and exits under support levels. Those that were closed are now located in the larger record.

7/14/2008 Royal Gold, Inc. (RGLD) Although we missed the initial trigger on this one about two weeks ago, we still have plenty of room to catch it on smaller time frame corrections. This monthly triangle has just now begun to break higher. My target on RGLD is the $48-50 zone. June's lows will serve as support.

 6/23/2008 Almost Family (AFAM) gave an early buy trigger on 6/26/2008 at $26.60. It has highs so far of $30.14 (+$3.54, +13.3%). - Brandon Fredrickson

6/9/2008 Constellation Energy Group, Inc. (CEG) gave a buy trigger on 7/18/2008 at $80.17 It has highs so far of $83.19 (+$3.02, +3.77%).

6/9/2008 Medtronic Inc. (MDT) gave a watch list buy trigger on 7/8/2008 over $52.00. It has highs so far of $54.89.

6/9/2008 Expeditors Intl Wash Inc. (EXPD) gave a short trigger on 6/11/2008 under $45.71. It has lows so far of $40.80 (+$4.91, +10.74%). Targets hit on swingtrade.

6/9/2008 Allegheny Tech. Inc. (ATI) gave a short trigger on 6/10/2008 under $66.00. It has lows so far of $48.74 (+$17.26, +26.15%). Targets hit. Given 6/2/2008 in the chatroom under $73.67.

6/2/2008 McCormick & Company, Incorporated (MKC) gave an early buy setup on 6/5/2008 over $37.73. It does still have potential to pull back a bit more on the weekly time frame before it can confirm a larger break of this range. It has highs so far of $40.00 (+$2.27, +6.02%). 

Position Trade Long: TRLG (initial setup already triggered, so correction is ideal before a continuation)

 6/2/2008 Genworth Finl. Inc. (GNW) gave a short trigger on 6/2/2008 under $22.08. It has lows so far of $14.13 (+$7.93, +36.01%). Targets hit for short term traders.

6/2/2008 Exelon Corp. (EXC) gave a short trigger on 6/26/2008 under $89.36 with resistance at $92. It hit lows of $81.19 (+$8.17, +9.14%).

6/2/2008 Transocean Inc. (RIG)  gave a swingtrade short trigger on 6/2/2008 under $149.89. It has lows so far of $138.00 (+$11.89, +7.93%). Targets hit. Some trailing stops hit.

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.
