top ranked chart: $CPA
stubby’s chart commentary on today’s top rank chart:
- today CPA broke through horizontal resistance @ 120, gapping up on greater than average vol and closed @ 123.19, above it’s previous 52wk high by 0.83%.
- all indicators i watch are rising STOCHASTICS, MACD, RSI(14), MONEY FLOW INDEX, ACCUMULATION, CCI(20).
- the candle formation is characteristic of a shooting star (bearish). however all the other signals overwhelmingly mitigate 1 possible blemish.
- the finviz chart (to the right above) shows CPA in a upward channel trend line with the price at the very top line. because the stock broke out over the horizontal resistance line with a lot of momentum, it would be reasonable to expect the momentum to continue breaking higher above the trend line. in addition to note, previous encounters with the upper trend line were at extremely overbought RSI levels which isn’t the case yet. RSI is 67.46 and anything > 70 is considered hot & overbought but high momentum stocks are known to run up into the high 8o’s before retreating. so we’ll see.
- i am already long CPA 1-1/4 position cost @ 113.2. therefore i intend to remain neutral in this overweight position. my next buy point to consider would likely be when the 100 DMA or 50DMA catches up with the stock price, depending on market sentiment at the time.

stubby’s chart commentary on today’s top rank chart:
- looking at the primary measures i watch, CPA is on an upswing and looks well positioned to breakout higher above the current close $120.21. today the stock climbed 3.03% setting a new ATH on volume 70% higher than average. MACD xUP signal is positive, RSI is starting to turn higher at a comfortable level of 52.38. not shown , MFI index is turning higher as with the WILLIAM’S A/D & CCI 20day indicators.
- before a breakout is confirmed, look for follow thru in upward price momentum on higher than average volume. i am already long this stock a full position. if it breaks out, i may add another 1/4 long position
- CPA earnings are due to be reported on or about may-9-2013.

top ranked chart: $REGN
stubby’s chart commentary on today’s top rank chart:
- REGN is a powerful quick momentum stock. by the time it breaks out, it’s almost too late to catch that leg higher. i recently mentioned this stock on apr-10-13. a bearish shooting star candlestick formation developed and i was suspicious of a possible breakout. i put candlestick formation ahead of other technicals i pointed out, stayed out and missed this rally. i suppose worse things have happened. next time i encounter a similar chart pattern, i will be more considerate of ALL the parameters and not let one outweigh all the others.
- since then, some characteristics have developed that give me the impression the recent breakout in REGN has limited upside reward in the short-term. those characteristics are (1) bleeding nose RSI 86.05 and it looks like the daily RSI wants to xBELOW it’s moving average. (2) MACD is approached historical levels where REGN tops out and fades.(3) the same with the MFI (money flow index). (4) william’s A/D is the highest it’s been for over a year. (5) CCI 20day is waving flat.
- so again, i will stay on the sidelines for a better entry with more upside potential. i am [neutral to short-term bearish] on REGN.

3,AMGN,Amgen Inc,97,86,93,
top ranked chart: $GILD
stubby’s chart commentary:
- a re-run from yesterday’s commentary: it’s really hard to put any kind of spin on a stellar stock chart like $GILD. but i’ll try. what i look for is price momentum with rising vol above average, rising RSI (added notes: moving average), rising accumulation and rising money flow. i also like to see a stock gap up over previous day close, making new highs during the day and closing above the previous 52 wk high. $GILD has it all.
- the major difference from today’s chart versus yesterday’s is today’s candlestick formation. yesterday’s candle was a long white formation which indicates strong price momentum higher. today’s candle formation was a white spinning top. typically this indicates sanguine neutrality, particularly in a clear uptrend chart pattern. some may see this as indecision or possible bearish behavior on the part of traders. with all the indications i pointed to in the prior bullet shows this to be buying in moderation in a clear uptrend mode.
- i have a full position in $GILD, cost @ 44.12. $GILD closed today @ 51.96, up 0.54% from yesterday’s close. i have no immediate plans to add to $GILD or trim it. sticking to my thesis this stock and other top biotechs will be market leaders for at least the next 9 – 12 mons. i will re-consider adding to or trimming $GILD after it reports earning later this month on about apr-24-2013.

stubby’s chart commentary:
- yesterday i included 2 charts of $REGN. however, a classic shooting star candlestick formation lead me to call $REGN bearish. today that proved wrong. i read the sentiment of the candlestick over the other more bullish chart features i discussed. i also read the sentiment of the whole market incorrectly bearish.
- i hold no position in $REGN and don’t plan on getting in considering i am already up $AMGN $BIIB $CELG & $GILD. i will reconsider $REGN after another correction in the stock.

stubby’s chart commentary:
- i included 2 charts of $REGN. i prefer the trend lines as i drew them (right) versus finviz (left). $REGN has been lagging the pack of biotech stocks i hold such as $AMGN, $BIIB, $CELG, $GILD. so it looks like $REGN wants a piece of the action. i don’t hold $REGN but have in the passed. as i drew the trend lines, price action indicates $REGN gapped over resistance and finished above on strong volume. however, todays candle stick looks to me like a classic bearish shooting star.
- therefore i will pass on buying $REGN until a better setup develops. the S&P 500 broad index suffered the same fate and am not positive about equity prospects in general.

DAILY TOP RANKED Chart: SYNT
STUBBY’S COMMENTARY:
- this is an interesting stock chart. there was a big dip in price leading up to the beginning in 2013. a cursory thought is the stock began to fade during all the 2012 presidential election noise & then sequestration noise hammered it down further. but it’s also evident the stock was backfilling a gap up in price from earlier in the year of 2012. before stepping, i want to see the price breakout from here on solid above average volume. the strong fundamentals and TA indicators show there’s a little more room to run higher in the short-term. then i will expect a pause in price gain while the 50DMA catches back up with the stock price.
- as a position trader, the setup would be for me to enter with a starting 1/2 position if the stock breaks out on high volume. the next position to look for would be to wait till the 50DMA catches up with the price. a flat base or cup-n-handle formation may develop. at the conclusion of that pause development is closer to the time for me to consider taking a 1/4 position. i am not long SYNT but may consider taking an entry position in the next 72 hours if the senario i sketched out unfolds.
