Some Charts for Tuesday 4-13-2010

The alarm clock was not as effective as it needed to be today so I am a bit behind. I will just post some charts and a review of past top charts.

DLLR continues its cup with handle pattern
EVOL began a breakout yesterday

KNXA began a double bottom with handle breakout yesterday.
MRLN has set up a cup with handle pattern which may have started a breakout yesterday.
NEWS is a high tight flag, perhaps the closest true hight tight flag in the market.
TRGT is a very large flag which began a breakout a few weeks ago. On the daily, Thursday and Friday of last week were a pullback and what essentially amounts to a handle on this type of pattern.


Here is the performance of the past two weeks:

Top Charts


China Gerui Advanced Materials Group (CHOP)
This company is a Chinese steel manufacturer. Fundamentally the company has a PE of 7, cash flow from operations for fiscal 2009 ended December 31st of $0.81 per share, current assets in excess of current liabilities of $1.18 per share, and no long-term debt. The company has been growing both sales and earnings.

The chart is a miniature cup with handle. Volume dried up on the left side of the cup and increased on the right side. The two down days in the handle had dried up volume and now as the stock climbs the right side of the handle the volume has picked up once again.




If I had time to finish, the following would also be marked up as top charts:
