According to the four main indicators I run on the indices, the Russell 2000 has entered a bear phase. I would expect a decline of about 20% to occur during 2016. Furthermore the 50day SMA is turning down after failing to re-take the 200day, and a head-and-shoulders is appearing. Check my blog for more.

We seem to be getting a cup and handle forming in LCI at the moment, a classic pattern favored by the O'Neil school of thought. In my book this is an excellent company going for a good price, and with current merger and acquisition activity in the sector I think it has a catalyst for investor interest. When a stock hits 50 on the Twiggs Momentum scale (50 day or...

If you've ever taken an inter-city coach ride in Mexico as I have, you'll know that the country is crying out for an alternative way to travel. VLRS (aka Volaris, ultra cheap airline) is making an excellent recovery from its lows and I feel that in time it's heading back to the post IPO highs of $15 and more. I made a losing trade on this one last year but I...

NOAH looks set to challenge resistance again. With earnings scheduled for Feb 25 I figure either it blows past resistance this time or plummets once more. My money's on the bullish case. I'd put my stop around $21.50. Medium term target $32 for this rapidly growing Chinese wealth management company.

I may be a little blind but I never knew about this company until fairly recently. Did you know that its technologies are in all smartphones and more than 100 billion semiconductor chips ? Pretty incredible. They're a technology licensing company rather than a manufacturer and have therefore wasted a lot of time and money in litigation over the years. They had a...

In this post I'd like to share some of the best ways I know of to stay on the right side of the long-term trend. I will stick to technical indicators on price action and the S&P 500, or this discussion could go on way too long. I employ the monthly chart for long-term timing; its perspective is broad enough to show the big picture yet nimble enough to capture the...

EW recently had a nice earnings beat and guidance raise. It is showing strong momentum and has broken out of a multi-year pattern. I bought a couple weeks ago, it may be vulnerable to some consolidation shortly but I think it will finish the year strongly. My target is $160 with a stop at $114.

Southwest will benefit from lower oil prices and the continued recovery of the american economy. It is well managed with a good balance sheet and expanding with the integration of AirTran. Conviction buy for growth at a reasonable price. Technically speaking it has made a strong recovery from the recent turmoil and still shows strong momentum. My stop is placed at...
