Stocks I'm Watching the Week of 9/22/14 - 9/26/14
The McClellan Oscillator bounced this week from Oversold territory of -62 to close the week around -28. I think we could see one more downswing from here in the short term, but overall we are setting up for a nice push higher. There is still a negative bias since we are below 0 and are pointed down due to Friday's action. Onto the setups I like for next week...
It looks like it's time to revisit Facebook Inc. due to it's relative strength on Friday. The daily chart is showing a nice setup that looks like it wants to push to new all time highs. $FB recently tested it's 50 day simple moving average and bounced off of this support beautifully. All indicators looked prepped for a breakout and we saw very heavy volume on Friday. I like $FB above $78.30 with a fairly tight stop at $75.50.
The Container Store broke out of a nice wedge pattern on high volume Friday. $TCS has a huge gap to fill up to $27. I like $TCS to continue the momentum if it can clear $24. Stop placed at $22.50.
Energy Transfer Equity, LP has a very bullish looking chart. $ETE looks to have found some near term support right below it's 21 day exponential moving average. $ETE was up about 2% on Friday on high volume. MACD & Stochastics look very bullish here, and I will start an entry at $62.80 (Friday's High of the Day) with hopes for a breakout above $63.50 to new all time highs. If it can breakout above $63.50, my first target would be $67.
Garmin Ltd. pierced it's 200 day simple moving average on Friday in convincing fashion (on heavy volume which is very bearish). $GRMN looks like it will test the $50 dollar area of support again. If it dips below near term support, we could see a big breakdown. I will sell this on a break of $52.04 (Friday's Low of the Day) with a stop placed at $54.30.
Priceline Inc. has been acting very poorly over the last month and a half. $PCLN formed a dark cloud cover on it's daily chart Friday. There daily chart also looks like it might have formed a bear flag with RSI pointing back down. I will sell this if it breaks below $1185 with a stop placed right above the 200 simple moving average around $1225. In others words, I'm about to short the Shat :).
During the day I will tweet chart/position updates to my followers on both Twitter and Stocktwits (NCInvestor). Please follow me @NCInvestor.

Stocks I'm Watching the Week of 9/8/14-9/12/14
My favorite macro market gauge NYMO (McClellan Oscillator) closed at 6.92. Bulls look to be in control, but we could see another leg down with some selling pressure still existent. The market just seems to be churning higher for the time being. There has been some good action in both directions. Onto my favorite setups for the week, and more specifically, on Monday.
BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. has a beautiful looking setup on it's daily chart. The stock spiked on Friday on great volume. RSI is pointing upwards and looks like it wants to continue. I like $BDSI above it's high from Friday's candle at $16.39. I'm looking for a breakout to all time high's at $16.80. Stop will be placed at $15.85.
Coupons.com has a nice looking bull flag on the daily. This looks good for higher prices if it can pierce $16.49. Stop on $COUP at $15.90.
Facebook is a company I'm sure we are all familiar with. The stock is looking to breakout to new all time highs. I like $FB above $77.50 with a stop at near term support around $75.60.
Procter & Gamble has been acting really well as of late. $PG looks to be forming a small cup and handle pattern on it's daily. I like this above $83.83 with a stop at $82.60.
Gap Inc. had a nasty breakaway gap down on Friday. $GPS is currently oversold on all time frames, so I'm looking for a small bounce first thing Monday to around the $44.88 area to sell into. My stop will be placed at $46.85. My first target is the 50 day moving average around $42.
Springleaf Holdings Inc. formed a shooting star candlestick pattern while in an uptrend on Friday. I'm looking for a weak bounce to $34.89 in $LEAF to sell into. Stop will be placed at $35.90.
