Wednesday's Score....

SPIKE!!!! you-da-man DUDE!!!! Spike has "wished" BEL up 3% this week, Wow!..... Maybe I can Wish ESLR down tomorrow.lol.... Lets see if he can hold the lead.

The market is feeling kinda bearish to me fellas. We'll see.

I see a couple of "kindred spirit" (trading for breakouts to an all-time high pps) picks this week. That is, for ANST, PAY, and BTU, I see picks where the chart indicates a recent move (or imminent move) to a new all-time high that surpasses a recent recognizable peak or range of resistance.

After working through an ascending triangle formation, ANST is sitting right at previously established resistance of about a month's duration and indicates an imminent breakout above 35.50. In my experience, what gives this kind of setup an even higher probability of success is to find that the RSI plot is already in an uptrend of about 1 month's duration and has a present measure >60 to 65. We almost have this for ANST so it is a close call. Buying in anticipation of the breakout is one way to play it, or buying just after the breakout (but within about 5% to 8% of the resistance point, to allow for an 8% or so stop loss after the buy) is another. Sometimes the breakout can take the pps way beyond 8% of the pivot; the stock's previous history might give you a tell on that. Or you can use other technical indicators, such as the Bollinger Band width plot available at stockcharts.com, that might give a tell for pent-up bullish energy.

PAY made its breakout last Friday (beyond a previous peak established in early Nov 2005) but has retraced in the next two sessions including today. Again, before buying this breakout I would be looking for a rising RSI going into the breakout day, which wasn't quite the case for PAY. This one may still give very good appreciation in the next week or two (perhaps longer).

BTU is also working its way back (via an ascending triangle formation) to a previous all-time high pps peak established in early October 2005. At today's close it is about 4.5% from that high. The RSI is in a slight uptrend since mid November 2005, a positive tell. However, the ADX plot has not yet turned northward, which would indicate the presence of a new trending behavior. Use the stock's recent pps volatility to determine whether a buy in anticipation of an imminent breakout is premature.

I'm going to go long AMLN again for next week (not that I'm complaining, but why wasn't my AMLN pick for this week entered?).

I must shift gears here. I will simply take the largest gain percent NASDAQ stock on Friday with lousy fundamentals and short it! LINKE seems to fit perfectly.......SHORT (LINKE) Thanks Lye!
