AbbVie hit my first long target. Hopefully some good news in the near future to get it moving.

Patience is paying off. I am hoping this signifies the start of another lift and the opportunity to buy some more. Currently up ~20%

Nice job Exodus. I've been a little out of the loop - liquidated everything to buy a house and now I'm clawing my way back to having a respectable bank roll.
Here's a few that caught my eye. (no positions yet)
$AAWW
$DRE
$GLOB
$MKC
$PEG

This is my favorite chart at the moment. You can't see from this chart that AAWW peaked right around here in 2011. If it breaks above that old high, it's off to the races. Thoughts?

I have quite a few ideas this week but I don't want to bombard this thread with them all. For those that like to buy things on pullbacks, I like AVB, DLR and COHR. Avalon Bay {image} Digital Realty {image} Coherent {image} For those that like to buy all-time-highs, I like these: FTNT, HCA, and MKC: Fortinet {image} HCA {image} McCormick {image}
HCA though is up 10% today and looks like it might want to run a little bit.
Also... Victory Laps usually precede big draw downs, so I'm expecting my capital to take a hit shortly. :-) Happy Trading all!

AAWW was an unmitigated disaster. It illustrates the importance of stop-losses. A reasonable stop would have been around $67-68 area (or buying a 67.5 strike put).
I am currently long this thing. Instead of having a stop, I'm long a couple out of the money puts as a small hedge.

Here's a portfolio snapshot from 8/31 -
This doesn't include cash, which I've begun to think might offer some value here. I'm not short anything as I do tend to play from the long side, but i'm starting to look for things to short. This market has really been a long investor's dream, but I do wonder how long it can persist. Trees don't grow to the sky.
Here are three stocks I've had my eye on. Two obviously based on the above acct snapshot I've already purchased, although extremely recently. The other I've mentioned in the past and have traded in and out of (mistake) and looks like it's breaking out again.
Blackrock is dominant and should continue for years to come....back at support (presumably because other asset managers continue to cut fees which will squeeze their margins.
IR I tend to like these companies at/near all time highs breaking through round numbers (in this case $100).
...and ECL is the one I've mentioned before...don't own, but wish i still did. Might get back in.
