There are quite a few promising pinbars this week. Too many to really get in to and i'm a bit rushed for time because I'm going away this weekend. In any case, take a look at these, also take note that many of them had higher than usual volume which can be an interesting "tell" from the market...

Here were some weekly pins that I don't think I ever posted from last week:

Up
CMCSA - COMCAST CORP-CLASS A
SCHW - Charles Schwab
BCE - BCE INC
FISV - FISERV INC

Down
WY - WEYERHAEUSER CO
HSP - HOSPIRA INC
LH - LABORATORY CRP OF AMER HLDGS
DV - DEVRY INC
ESI - ITT EDUCATIONAL SERVICES INC
OCR - OMNICARE INC

DV & ESI part of the very weak For-Profit education sector that was down on various negative reports regarding their practices and potential government crackdown of student loan abuses.

BCE has been mentioned here before around $25, but looks quite bullish given the weekly pin.

Daily Price Action:

HCBK - HUDSON CITY BANCORP INC
FTI - FMC TECHNOLOGIES INC
ROVI - ROVI CORP
NYT - NEW YORK TIMES CO -CL A
ENOC - ENERNOC INC
KNDI - KANDI TECHNOLGIES CORP

Down
VALE/P - VALE SA-SP PREF ADR
BXP - BOSTON PROPERTIES INC
MBFI - MB FINANCIAL INC
WAC - WALTER INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

I of course got interested in KNDI because I saw that its an electric auto manufacturer from China (can you get any more trendy?). Their product looks like this:

http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/q...rceServlet.jpg

And I saw this excerpt from their recent press release:
Quote
The beautifully designed two-seater battery powered COCO convertible being sold by Kandi in the US travels up to 60 miles at speeds reaching 25mph on a six-hour charge."
It's no Tesla, but maybe there's a market for it -- However at 25mph, that's purely a "getting around town" vehicle. The real question is - would you look cooler in this, or a Segue?

Anyhow, Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to everyone - Hope 2010 is a great year!

Nice trade here - Today's quote $87/share...

KNDI's 30% move yesterday looked nice but looks to be forming a pin today going the other way. Hopefully will have some stocks for this evening.

Also, for those that read this thread, would it be more useful to not post the entire menu and just post charts of the pins I like? I assume that those interested investigate these themselves to see if they want to trade them -- I figure more info is better than less but I'm open to suggestions.

Although I haven't taken many trades on stocks so far, I think a full list is helpful as we can then judge for ourselves which ones are good - we may have slightly different criteria to you.

Yeah, that's where things get interesting. My criteria I'm still working out. It changes fairly often... I.e. do you want the tail to be 2x as big as the preceding bars or 4x as big? Do you want to filter for a pin that closes at the very bottom or top of the bar, or just 2/3 of the way down/up? Lots of variables to consider.

In any case, here's tonight's list of WEEKLY pins:

Up
TXN - TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INC
MMC - MARSH & MCLENNAN COS
ECL - ECOLAB INC
ITT - ITT CORP
SBS - CIA SANEAMENTO BASICO DE-ADR
DCI - DONALDSON CO INC
SMG - SCOTTS MIRACLE-GRO CO-CL A
RMBS - RAMBUS INC
CECO - CAREER EDUCATION CORP
BXS - BANCORPSOUTH INC
LOPE - GRAND CANYON EDUCATION INC
OFG - ORIENTAL FINANCIAL GROUP

Down
IP - INTERNATIONAL PAPER CO
APOL - APOLLO GROUP INC-CL A
HSY - HERSHEY CO/THE
CTRP - CTRIP.COM INTERNATIONAL-ADR
TXI - TEXAS INDUSTRIES INC
MPW - MEDICAL PROPERTIES TRUST INC
PAR - 3PAR INC
BYD - BOYD GAMING CORP

Odd that two for-profit education providers would present bullish bars and one would produce a bearish pin (CECO, ITT, and APOL).

Not a bad idea - I have gotten away from my original intention of also posting commodity/futures pins as well... Index is up marginally today but it certainly looks like it's still a bull market...

OK, so I'm surely going to hell for posting this and no doubt the trade won't work out (because i've already established I'm going to hell for posting this...so what better way to punish me than to have me lose money on this trade...) But here goes:

So I saw this news story today and got a chuckle:

Weight Watchers floor collapses

VAXJO, Sweden, Jan. 14 (UPI) -- Members of a Swedish
Weight Watchers clinic said a floor collapsed from under a
group of about 20 dieters participating in a weighing event.

The participants said they were gathered at the Vaxjo
clinic Wednesday night to measure the amount of weight they had
lost with the help of the program when they heard a loud noise
shortly followed by the collapse of the floor, Swedish news
agency Tidningarnas Telegrambyra reported Thursday.
So when I ran my scans tonight, i saw this gem:

Never like to fight the uptrend, but hey if it breaks, why not?
