Just wanted to stop by and give an update... Haven't been doing much trading lately due to alot of training going on in the Day Job (which I hope to keep for 5 more years and retire at 35 Ha!).

I have been doing a few swing trades and have a few positions on at the moment including ATPG (which attempted to break out but pulled back on friday, even theough the market popped to almost break even which is a positive)  I expect ATPG to continue its move and sold off a bit on profit taking from the previous day's move up and no one wanted to hold  over the weekend.  I expect ATPG to hold above the 50SMA and continue higher... IMO.

Also holding some SHLD calls which have stalled out on me and expected it to move higher already.  Sold a few  for a profit but holding 2/3d's pos which I expect to sell before earning date (At least most).

Below are a few stocks I've checked out which I think might have potential in the coming week for a move higher.

DCTH - In a short term uptrend and currently above all SMAs.  Lurking around a key resistance level which it has currently failed to get over.  Current wedge formation is starting to tighten and I think it has a good chance to break to the 11 area, 12.50 second target.



VHC - Long term fav of mine which I recommended at 7.50 and unfortunately ended up selling in the 12's, but hey, profit is profit.  I am liking the pattern here for a continued break out as it has been holding up very well and creating a new wedge formating as well.



TSTC - Longer term wedge formed here and right under the 200SMA but above the 50 and 100.  I pop over this descending trend line forming the wedge and 200ma should take this one higher. Could be looking for a 14.80 to at 15.50 target.  Keep an eye on it.



ALTH - a bottom picking / bounce off support play with a flat-lining 50ma and potential to break this downtrend due to good price movement on high volume friday.  1st target would be about 4.80 which is a good prior support/resistance area.  Both Stochs and MACD turning up on this past move.  Could continue its recent momentum.


I Hope to be back in action by the end of November so just trying to start to get warmed up again.  Trade em well and thanks for reading!
