Rob Rigs The Contest!
Rob will go with RIG long, please, sir Ski.
"How did Rob come up with RIG long?" you ask? Well he simply ran the IIC 100 through his handy-dandy quick comparison Excel spreadsheet, and it ranked RIG as the number 1 stock in the list. Incidentally, numbers 2 through 10 came out like this:
AUO
DRYS
CF
MICC
TBSI
DSX
NM
NDAQ
NE
I gotta tell ya ... I like that NE.—Rob

You are now in 4th and River is in 5th. No problemo except you might find Riverbabe standing on your front steps with a bat some night. She doesn't look kindly on giving up her position once she has it.

Originally posted by jae16 View PostI am gonna go w/ FCX short I believe... thanks ski... Lets see if it makes a downtrend now that it broke through that pattern...
that's a good pick and read J. when I first posted the chart at StockCharts I was indecisive on whether to put it up as a Symetrical Triangle pattern, as I did, or to put it up as a Descending Triangle pattern. If you look at the last two large red candles and were to draw a line across the bottom of them and continued the line to the left over to the next white candle the pattern changes to a Descending Triangle.
My logic was that with the Symetrical Triangle pattern and it sitting right on the bottom line I was looking for a bounce up off the bottom line which they do a very high percentage of times in that type pattern. I think that market direction over the last couple of days carried the stock farther down making the Descending Triangle the more relevant pattern of choice. Good eyes on your part.
There is a catch though. There is some arguement for the Symetrical Triangle pattern coming thru though. If one were to lower the bottom line of the Symetrical Triangle on the right side to the bottom of the last red candle on the right after Fridays closing a larger Symetrical Triangle pattern shows and then the stock could still bounce off the bottom line.
I am not trying to defend the Symetrical Triangle pattern but to illustrate something that has to be taken into account when interpreting these chart patterns. Also market direction is so important and such a factor in these decisions that it has to be included in your decision. Most stocks will follow the market just because that's what they do the higher percentage of times. When situations like this turns up sometimes it is best to stay away because of the contradictory nature of the two patterns within one chart. But good eyes seeing that breach of the Symetrical Triangle and good luck with it in this weeks game.THE SKIRACER'S EDGE: MAKE THE EDGE IN YOUR FAVOR
