I last looked at SPR in February when price broke out above the December 2014 high. At that time I was waiting for the earnings announcement and to see how price reacted to the $50 half-figure. Price has continued to move upwards and the trend is beginning to look good. The latest earnings announcement saw price pullback to below the 50sma and retest the $50...

EA has been in a good uptrend since 2012 and I have often looked at it during this time. However, it is susceptible to deep pullbacks so has never been worth serious consideration. More recently (since the October 2014 low) a more reliable trend has begun to develop. The daily 50sma is now working well as support. Gaps up also have been corresponding with...

EL has been cropping up on my lists quite a lot recently - overall it is an upwardly trending stock and has been since 2009/2010. However, the trend is not at all easy to trade - even for a longer-term trend trader. There have been many periods of extended consolidation - the duration (rather than the depth ) has been the main sticking point. In the last few...

EFX has been in a pretty good trend since 2012. There have been a few pullbacks which would have been too deep to wait out. But more recently it looks like price has begun to trend again quite nicely. As yet we are not seeing a good linear trend. After the fake breakout below the 200sma on the daily chart (October 2014), however, the daily 50sma has provided good...

JLL yesterday gapped up on higher volume and a good earnings report. But it hasn't yet comfortably cleared the recent pivot high of 2nd April. I last looked at JLL 5 months ago in November 2014. The analysis suggested price would be heading higher - which it has done. But some of the pullbacks have been a little deeper than a trend trader would have liked -...

I last analysed AAPL on 18th March and my conclusion was that I would wait for a break above the February pivot high before considering a new position on this stock. This has not occurred and, despite the buzz and excitement around Apples latest earnings announcement today, I will still be standing aside until I get confirmation that this high has been taken...

MSCI has been a good preforming stock over the last few months. It broke the 2010 high ($40.79) in late 2013 but retested this zone three times before beginning its latest trend up. It was not until the break of the 2014 high (in early 2015) that it became of interest - which coincided with a break above the $50 half figure. The March pullback (to the 50sma) was...

This is the third time I have analysed CNC in the last few months. First in December 2014 - then again about a month ago. I have been waiting to see how CNC reacted to the February 2015 stock split which, so far, has been positive. Yesterday saw price break out of a small consolidation. Price in the last month has been in a short range - but did spike down to...

FTNT only has data going back to 2009 and has been in consolidation for the majority of that time. However, it has a good volume of stock traded on a daily basis and is nicely priced at below $50 (making it cheaper to trade than more expensive stocks). Since breaking out above the 2012 pivot high ($28.82) in December 2014 price did retrace to retest this zone...

SCI is a low priced stock so this makes it easier for those with smaller accounts to trade. Yesterday saw price break out from the recent pullback. Although price only marginally cleared the recent pivot high it was a bullish bar with higher volume. This pullback looks a little deep but was in fact quite within an acceptable level. Since breaking though and...

GPN has just broken through the $100 mark and the chart patterns suggest price could go higher. However, when this stock hit $50 (in 2006) it moved into an extremely prolonged consolidation. This lasted until the end of 2013 and the range was deep (between about $30-$55). For this reason I would recommend sitting tight until the $100 mark is comfortably cleared...

ENDP popped up on my breakout list today and I felt it was the best trending of the charts on offer. Unfortunately it is approaching the $100 figure mark and the trend doesn't look well enough established, just yet, to take a position before this possible resistance. The 2014 consolidation was very deep - price retraced almost back to the $50 mark after reaching...

DST has a couple of good continuation chart patterns going on. A cup and handle formed below the $100 figure. $100 can often be a strong resistance/support zone. But once price broke through (and confirmed the cup and handle) this chart pattern suggested price could go higher. More recently price formed a double bottom - another continuation pattern suggesting...

BR is a low volume stock I would not trade. But it is trending well so may be of interest to those of you who are happy/able to consider a position here. This stock has been trending fairly well since breaking out of the 2007-2013 consolidation at just above $25. Price action can be a little unpredictable but this is to be expected with a low volume and fairly...

AZO has been a well trending stock for many years, especially since breaking above the $200 zone in 2010. Despite the great trend I would not have traded this due to the low volume. I generally prefer stocks with much higher volume to help aid liquidity (although AZO has done exceptionally well without adhering to this criteria). And now the stock is pretty...

CI has recently begun to trend very well - especially since clearing the $100 zone. There were a couple of retests of the figure then, in early February, the daily 50ma held as support. Since then the trend has been linear. As the trend is only just beginning to smooth out it is early to enter a long-term position at the moment. But as the overall trend has been...

WWAV doesn't have much data but it has been trending up since 2013. There was a long period of consolidation from September 2014 to February 2015. Although technically the consolidation didn't start until November the November high was only marginally higher - and price pretty much traded within the September pivot high and October pivot low range until the...

INCY isn't quite there yet - as a good linear trending stock. The daily 50ma is beginning to look like it may be offering consistent support but it is early days. There was congestion around the $50 and daily 200ma zone for several months in the middle of 2014 - which was some way off the February 2014 high of just above $70. Towards the end of last year price...
