February 4th Watch List

ROVI – On Watch as this strong stock is looking ready to make its next leg up before earnings. Currently, ROVI is testing long term resistance, but has room to 21.50+ if that falls. Looking for a long entry over 19.75, stop 19.50.

SWFT – On watch as this shipper is in a bullish pattern following earnings. A nice bull flag and move up and over the EMAs. The room here is to 18.50 and then 20. Long entry is over 17.15, stop 16.85.

TBPH – Putting in a massive multi top at the 17 mark, this is definitely NOT a long until OVER 17.00. Room is to 17.70 and then 18.50. Stop will be 16.75 if 17 fails.

CGI – An interesting shipping option for a long move back toward 10. I like the setup here and the relative volume. Long entry is over 8.38, stop 8. Room here is to 10 in a hurry if things hold up.

OMF– On short watch for a continued break down and sell off. The short entry will be under 24.50, stop 25.50. The target is going to be 22, and then 20.

AMED – This short watch stock has a lot of room down to next support under 31.50. Short entry here will be in two parts, the first entry is under 33.50 and then a double to full size at 33.00.
