KERX caught my attention simply because it's coiled up so tight. Thought I'd just see whether it pops or not. CEO will be holding forth at a conference tomorrow, the company's drugs are looking fairly good, report coming up in December (I think), blah, blah, blah.
Sure, it could meander for another 6 months, too. But I won't be watching for that long.
I should have added an explanation in the first place. My apologies.
Oh, sure, no doubt about it. The market woke up and KERX fell asleep. That's plain as pie. The market was clealry directional, KERX was clearly consolidating.
Who knows what the market will do tomorrow; who knows what KERX will do? But there's a point where sideways morphs into up or down, no? And where very quiet changes into, well, something a little more spunky -- in which case I'll be watching.
I wait for market to bottom than scan for stocks that near its 52 week high and try to hand pick a few. I like to buy strongest at right time. And there are some other things I look for. To me stock trading is about selection and I mostly trade one set up break out break down.
