May 11th Swing Watch List
$TWI – A higher risk setup, but trading above EMA support, just below big breakout resistance. IF this goes, lots of room to the upside. Long is over 6.28, stop 6.00. Room is to 6.75 and then 7.05.
$HCHC – Not my favorite setup, but I do like its potential and trend. Long entry here is over 4.52, stop 4.18. Room is to 5.05, short term.
$BIOS – A previous winner for us, this big flag setup has a tendency to be quite volatile. Looking for a move back to 3, and then 3+. Long entry is over 2.76, stop 2.60.
$IMAX – In a sweet bull flag and holding the EMAs, there is room back to 35 on this one. Long entry is over 33.50, stop 33.00.
$LDRH – A weak setup with a bad PM earnings release. Expect this to move lower tomorrow. Looking for short under 24.50, stop 25.00. Room to 22.
