Today's Stocks in an Uptrend

[billyjoe]

If I wrote a stock newsletter it would say " I strongly advise you to consider buying shares of VLO at this bargain price". But, since I don't I won't. Here's something worth reading.

http://seekingalpha.com/article/2547...h?source=yahoo It was written days before this dip.

Correction, the article was posted today. Maybe written before the market opened.

VLO is also a 3X uptrender with a target of 32.39.

Nvda

Even Mad Money's Jim Cramer said publicly two nights ago to Buy Buy Buy NVDA.

I'm sure people have problems with him, but I think he's a funny toon. If you picture him as bugs bunny, it makes the show so much more enjoyable.

NVDA was a Barron's pick forecast to be up 80% in 2011. I got in at 24.28 then, up 5.74% at this point.

Hags,
I ran the results again eliminating all stops. With those that were in the "buy" zone I changed purchase price to closing price on qualification day. This took at least 4% profit from those 24. With the 16 that went up never dropping into the zone I used as purchase price the lowest price the stock reached after qualification but before reaching target. Then I calculated the highest price achieved since the targets were hit. These are the results. These numbers can be used to determine a sell limit order. Turns out 16% was way too early to sell all but 1. The newest, NVMI, is not in the calculations and ISLN also isn't since price couldn't be determined.

Hags,
I checked the 16 target hitters that never were in the buy zone. I couldn't find historical data on ISLN since it was bought out and delisted. The other 15 all went up more than 16% from the lowest price after I posted. Maybe I should just say "buy at tomorrow's open" instead of trying to squeeze out another 4% (gained by making buy zone 96% of close). Here are the 15 that were never in the buy zone and the % of closeness they got to the zone before reaching target.

ENTR 4.15%, NSU 3.20%, BORN 2.64%, CCME 2.83%, HL 3.66%, EXK 4.18%

PAL 2.94%, SPRD 3.00%, HYC 5.96%, DDS 2.47%, KOG 1.68%, IDCC 1.73%

WAVX .7%, MERC .88%, JDSU 2.33%

Now I'll check those that hit target and also dropped into the buy zone and see how they'd have faired had they been bought at next day's open.
