This screen is performed nightly looking for stocks that are trading higher within the set parameters. These include fundamentally sound stocks with increasing earnings, a gain during the day today and preferably a move on above average volume.
A Few Interesting Stocks within 10% of the 200-d m.a.:
- BIDU – 100.97, the recent $60-$100 candidate has corrected from highs near $134 to catch some support at the long term moving average. The point and figure chart suggests positive action if the stock holds support
- SHLD – 179.16, the stock is consolidating once again but my ideal entry would be closer to the 200-d m.a. near $165.
- DLLR – 25.39, the first correction to the 200-d m.a. since 2006. It will become an ideal trend buying opportunity if the support is held. Look for the RS line to reverse back to the up-side
- ANDE – 42.54, the stock is trading flat to slightly higher over the past few months. Any rebound could take the stock back towards $60 (a nice risk-to-reward ratio)
- CSH – 42.50, the recent superstar stock is finally touching the 200-d m.a. for the first time since 2005. Any support in this area is a solid trend buy
- HITT – 41.07, the stock is forming a basing pattern above the 200-d m.a. which shows some strength. The point and figure chart shows a negative trend forming but a move above $45 will reverse that outlook
- CRVL – 31.85, the stock made a tremendous run from $11 to $49 but has recently corrected to the 200-d m.a. near $30. I am not sure if this is a dead cat bounce but support in this area will signal a potential basing pattern and possible opportunity
- EZPW – 15.54, the stock has caught some support three times over the past two months at the 200-d m.a. but volume has been weak. Possibly a cup or saucer shaped pattern above the long term average
Great post Chris! I’ve had SHLD on my watch list for a while now, ever since that breakout and reversal (which IMO was the market taking a beating) I’ve kept a close watch on it. Perhaps there is another opportunity to get in here soon!
Have a great day man!
