My intention is to buy on the breakout of the top of the flag pole, and sell when it reaches the target price projected by the chart pattern which should be around the $33 to $34 level. The HTF is a very reliable pattern if it indeed continues to develop. I intend to be quick on the trigger with this one. Every stock I have been in lately has taken off from the chart patterns that I trade only to fail a couple of weeks later. I will not be sticking around for longer term profits in this market until it proves out to be a sustainable new bull.

Hi Tom,
 
I agree with you on all counts except maybe the buyout possibility. My intention is to buy on the breakout of the top of the flag pole, and sell when it reaches the target price projected by the chart pattern which should be around the $33 to $34 level. The HTF is a very reliable pattern if it indeed continues to develop.
 
I intend to be quick on the trigger with this one. Every stock I have been in lately has taken off from the chart patterns that I trade only to fail a couple of weeks later. I will not be sticking around for longer term profits in this market until it proves out to be a sustainable new bull.

Hi Ernie,
 
Statistics and data are all about where you get them from. What DGO shows is that in three of the past four quarters, earnings declined from the prior year. And all four of the past four qtrs showed a decline in sales. According to the company's own news release this month, year 2002 (started with Sept) will show a marked improvement in earnings on flat sales numbers. That suggests cost cutting, or a shift to higher margin products, but not necessarily growth. While I am all for companies getting lean and mean, this type of earnings growth cannot be sustained unless sales are also growing.
 
I would be careful with this one.

ATU is certainly not canslim but?

They have posted three sequential quarters of higher earnings, their first
quarter of year over year growth (0.0 vs .57 beat the street estimate was
for .48) in the past five quarters, and are forecast to grow earnings at 33%
and 57% over the next two fiscal years respectively (earnings acceleration
we like that). The forward PE is just 9.5 and the forward PEG is only .29;
plenty of room for multiple expansion.

What really caught my eye was the nice HTF chart formation, which by the way
makes the right rim and two week handle of a very large 13 1/2 month cup.

I will be a buyer at 25.80.
