All,
Another great week for my portfolio as it continued its climb
into new all time high territory, even if I was stopped out of ROW
Wednesday. Speaking of stops, I have been including my stop and
target listing at the bottom of the weekly pick message. To do that
easily I switched from plain text to HTML format so I could just copy
my Excel file to this message. I have received some complaints about
sending HTML files, so this week I'm experimenting with copy the Excel
text to a text file an seeing how much manual formatting I have to do.
If I can do this easily, I'll continue. If not, I'll just drop that
chart from my postings.
Since I did close out ROW I do have cash for another position. This
week I'm going to take another try at EggHead.Com (EGGS). As I said when I
closed out EGGS the last time it hit my stop, I'm going to watch it for a
re-entry point since I still think it will test the 40 high again soon.
Hopefully, it's not wishful thinking, but I do think EGGS is starting
another up trend <G>.
EGGS at 23.75 does look like it has started another Short Term Up Trend
Channel (STUTC). The STUTC was formed after EGGS dropped from its Nov98 40
1/4 high to an early Dec 15 1/4 low just above the top of the old Short Term
Down Trend Channel (STDTC) it broke out of on its run to the 40 1/4 high.
It's not unusual for the tops of old channels that have been broken to act
as support during pullbacks. After the 15 1/4 low, EGGS had a short
sideways Horizontal Channel (HC) which it broke out of this week giving a
Trader Vic type buy signal. I constructed the new STUTC from the 12/11/98
low just before the HC breakout to Thursday's close. I'll use the 22 1/4
bottom of the STUTC with the Deviation set at 1 for my stop. RSquared looks
like it is about to turn up to signal the start of another trend. Tema S/C
and MFI are both positive so the trend should be up. I won't repeat the
fundamentals since I just gave them not long ago and they are typical of
Internet fundamentals with growing revenues, but no earnings yet. I'll open
a position sometime Monday. My stop will be just under the bottom of the
STUTC at 21 3/4. My target will be just under the old high at 40.
