Breakouts
for Dec 2nd: The
first pick, AFCI,
pushed over resistance on news of a completed merger with
Tellabs. Over
the course of November and early December the stock has broken
a declining trendline, and marked a new reaction high. Price
action has been supported by a breakout in the MACD trigger
line and overbought slow stochastics (= strong bullish momentum).
The stock still has plenty of supply to chew through on the
way to its price target, so don't expect a rapid advance here.
The second pick, ARRS,
is showing a very nice base breakout from the bottom of a larger
base (see weekly chart). The daily chart shows a decent cup-and-handle
pattern with a projected target of $8.56 but I think there
should be sufficient momentum to push this to $10.00. I have
set a compromise price target based on weekly resistance.
There was no company specific news released today. The third
pick, NCRX,
gained on news of a potential takeover bid
by Omnicare at $30/share. Technical strength suggests there is more value to
the stock than this offer would suggest. Point-n-figure charts project a target
of $62.50, but I have estimated a target based on the depth of the current base.
Looks a relatively safe bet with a potential $30 bid on the table, but this should
never excuse proper due diligence.
