Gapped off the doji at the 50 day EMA. A very neutral pattern now having stalled its uptrend. Held at support and bounced so that is still working for it. Letting AAPL trade in its range for now.

Gapped and surged, but did not finish well. That is why we did not get into it Thursday. Now if it can continue to the upside from the Thursday close then we will look at some positions.

Gapped higher as it continued its move off the 18 day EMA test, but could not hold it, reversing to turn negative. Still overall working laterally so letting CSTR set up for the next upside move that is the continuation of its breakaway gap.

Modest gain compared to the Wednesday upside surge on strong volume. Holding the uptrend so letting it run.

Flat on the session after recovering Wednesday from a gap lower. SKS held the 18 day EMA with this pullback and is in position to continue the upside move.

Solid bounce off the 18 day EMA and perhaps this time it makes the new breakout. Still very solid.

 19.13 12/20/2010
Nice upside gap as TIBX turns back to the upside after the quick 50 day EMA test following a solid run up the 18 day EMA. It has had its test and now is ready to move back up for the next rally.

 58.54 01/24/2011
Gapped up over the top trendline in the flag and could have entered, but it closed well off its high so we decided to wait. If it continues higher, it is a buy.

 62.28 02/14/2011
After rallying upside all week with modest, steady gains, UTHR gapped upside and rallied sharply. Unfortunately it gave back more than it held on the close. Not a great move, but UTHR remains in a strong move. This evening star doji indicates it could pull back and sell, but again, it is in a good pattern and trend.
VIT 11/17 Buy Not Issued Test 50 35.75 +1.25 35.18 43.91 723K 800K 643039 33.68 VIT 11B35.00
 35.18 11/17/2010
Gapped through the down trendline in the flag. It was good enough to enter though we held off. If VIT continues upside from here it is still a buy.

 21.57 01/31/2011
Gapped upside through the top trendline in the flag, but could not hold the move, giving back the solid Wednesday action and on stronger volume. Never like it when a stock is pushed right back. Needs to hold here.

 17.15 03/07/2011
Bounced off the 50 day EMA test, making a higher low, but unable to break through the recent peak. That leaves WX still in the lateral range and us looking for a breakout.

Still holding the 161% Fibonacci extension on this pullback. Trying to hold but struggling. If it slips from here we take the rest off the table.

After two weeks of lateral consolidation of the gap higher, ZUMZ is trying to start back to the upside. Looks solid.
