Breakouts
for Jan 20th: So
much for yesterday's pocket money play, AGIS. It managed to
punch in a 41% gain on 2 million shares. A speculative run
considering there was nothing released from the company. Greed
and fear at play at their very best. Today's picks have better
fundamental merits. The first pick, HUBG,
carries an overall Investor Business Daily ranking
of an 'A' and got
its boost from an upgrade by Raymond
James. Considering the breakout came on the move
from $45 I suspect the current gap is a measuring gap, putting
a target at around $62. The stock's current run started at
$3.25 and has a point-n-figure target of $71.00. I have set
my price target between the measured move and the point-n-figure
target. The stock has reasonable technical strength; the MACD
trigger line hasn't signaled a 'buy' but is above the bullish
zero
line, on-balance-volume is at new highs, and slow stochastics
are rising - although they have marked new reaction lows,
a sign
of building weakness. The second pick, MIM,
has been very quiet since December.
The stock followed yesterday's buying with a second day on
accumulation, sufficient to consume prior supply and push
the stock to new all-time highs since its IPO. The stock has
no overhead resistance and no point-n-figure price target,
which leaves a projected base target of $30. The stock is
well positioned technically, led by a MACD trigger 'buy' signal
above the bullish mid-line and new highs in on-balance-volume.
Slow stochastics just entered overbought levels and should
remain so over the coming days. GTC orders around $30.35 may
take advantage of any sideways action. The
third pick, TRY,
made a solid move up in the face of a very bearish day for the market on news
of a merger with
Arby's. The move in price pushed all three technical signals into the green.
Depending on the terms of the deal I would look for a momentum rally to $20 (there
is no point-n-figure price target).
There is no overhead resistance.
