Acitve Stock Screening: October 9th

This screen was last run in August, but even during this short period there were a number of changes in qualifying stocks. Dropping from the top-8, as ranked by Market Cap, was CF Industries and Randgold Resources.  Vertex Pharmaceuticals jumped into sixth spot as Lululemon Athletica crept in to fill out the last spot

The Active Stock Screen used the following parameters:

• % Chg EPS; Q to last yr Q of 25% or more
• % Chg EPS; YTD to last YTD of 25% or more
• % Chg Revenue; YTD to last YTD of 25% or more
• Return on Average Equity of 17% or more
• 5-yr Revenue Growth Rate of 15% or more
• Market Cap of at least $50M
• Net Profit Margin of 18% or More
• Current price above $12
• Average 10-day volume above 250,000 shares

And it generated the following results:

While Baidu tops the list on fundamentals, on price it has been struggling. Technology stocks were hit hard over two days of heavy selling, as sectors dependent on strong economic conditions saw big outflows.  For Baidu, this has seen the stock drop sharply towards $100 support; $100 support was defended last October and July, and is a key psychological level, but it could struggle to hold for a third time given broader selling pressures. The stock has also struggled to make it back to resistance, with each successive swing high becoming lower and lower. Concerns around monetization of its mobile offerings are more of a long term issue, and analyst rating cuts only add to the panic. But the current sell is governed more by broader economic impacts on the technology sector, rather than stock specific issues.  A Zignals Alert set for a price cross below $100 would be a good time to take a second look at Baidu, and gauge whether there is an opportunity for a support buy, or if it's time to head for the exits.



Priceline suffered a sharp drop just three days after it featured here. Disappointing guidance was blamed for the sell off, but the company had just reported a 20% increase in revenue, with a net income of $7.85 which was ahead of analyst estimates of $7.36 a share.  While a guidance of $11.78 per share in net income may be viewed as disappointing, it's significantly ahead of the $9.95 reported for the comparable quarter last year. Historically too, Priceline is in the habit of coming in ahead of expectations. Stock price has recovered somewhat, but it's now in an area where 'weak' bag holders may decide enough is enough. A drift below $600 would probably see sideline money come in to support it.  Despite all this, the stock retained its second spot in the scan (as ranked by Market Cap).



HDFC Bank manged to buck the trend of the previous two stocks by actually moving higher.  The stock handily cleared $36-36.50 resistance at the second time of asking, helped by an earnings report which showed 30% rise in profit from the prior-year quarter. Deposits were also up 22%. However, the company also reported a 26% rise in costs for the same period. But overall, the news was deemed positive enough to support the breakout.  For a stock which is news-lite, there should be enough momentum to see it get to its next earnings release.

Netflix: From Top to Bottom

While scouring the news for links I came across a chart posted by Blain over at TraderMike showing the extent of Netflix's plunge. His chart neatly shows how quickly yesterday's hero can turn into today's villain. It's also a good example for not letting a winner turn into a loser.

The Zignals Active Screen scan can help protect such losses.  As part of the screen, a daily email lists stocks qualifying under the filters of the Active Screen, but also the stocks which fail to qualify. In our analysis. Netflix (NFLX) featured in the active screen listings from December 2010 through to August 11th 2011, but eventually was dropped by August 23rd.

But even before NFLX's fundamentals led it to be dropped from the Active Screen, it's chart had already pointed to a significant shift in trend. The chart below dates from August 11th.



It was clear back then that the trend which had sustained itself from March 2009 was cooked. Especially when the break dropped the stock back to its 200-day MA, a test last achieved in the early part of 2010.  This in itself isn't bearish, but what followed in the days ahead was:

Things started brightly with the bounce off the 200-day MA at [1]. Given the period of time which had lapsed between tests of this MA the expectation would have been for a strong rally. Unfortunately, the honeymoon was brief and NFLX quickly gapped below its 200-day MA to [2]. At this point the decline from $300 was becoming something more than a pullback. Bulls attempted another defense and a rally emerged from $205 to regain the 200-day MA. But by now $240 was strong resistance as what was once demand (back in June 2011) turned into supply. The stock gapped below its 200-day MA for a second time and failed to attract fresh buying because of its inability to stay above this critical long term trend measure. When the company announced lower forecasts its goose was already cooked technically and the resulting gap down to the $170s was just icing on the cake.



The pain didn't end for bulls on the gap. It slipped further to $130 as it looks to be catching its breath. Although don't be surprised to see it take another leg down towards $100.

Certainly NFLX trading at $300 feels like a long time ago, not something which was true just a couple of months ago.

Always make full use of the tools available to you. A combination of Active Screening, Real-Time SMS Alerts and Charts can keep you up to date with your investments without having to watch the market 24/7.

Active Stock Screener: Three Dividend and Earnings Stock Ideas

With the markets inching slowly higher I took a look three stock ideas generated by my Fundamental System (active stock screen) last week. You can create your own Fundamental System in the Stock Screener and have the results of your scan delivered to you every day by email. The Dividend and Earnings screens for stocks with an Annual Revenue Growth of 25% or more and a Yield of 5% and above.

First stock to make the grade on Friday was Huaneng Power International (HNP). After spending the majority of 2010 in a trading range, bound by $20.75 and $24.50, it cleared resistance on two strong days in September and is currently easing back on a confirmation test of $24.50 support. An initial target set by resistance is in the $28s - assuming the broader market doesn't take a seasonal nosedive! I have created a Trading Idea for a push to $28.79 with a stop at $24.19.

Huaneng Power International, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, engages in the generation and sale of electric power to the regional or provincial grid companies in the People's Republic of China. The company operates and manages power plants in China and Singapore. As of February 10, 2010, it owned 19 operating power plants, as well as had controlling interests in 17 operating power plants and minority interests in 5 operating power companies in China.

Last Tuesday, Highway Holding (HIHO) made the grade in a low key way. The stock hasn't set the world alight given it sits in the middle of a trading range. It could just as easily drift back to the $1.30s as it could pop to $3.20 so keep on the radar and wait for trading volume to improve.

Highway Holdings Limited, together with its subsidiaries, engages in the manufacture of metal, plastic, electric, and electronic components, subassemblies, and finished products for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and contract manufacturers in Hong Kong/China, Europe, Japan, Germany, North America, and other Asian countries. The company’s products are used in the manufacture of various products, such as photocopiers, laser printers, compact disc players, laser disc players, cassette players, computer equipment, electrical components, electrical connectors, cameras, clocks, automobile accessories, vacuum cleaners, light fixtures, electro motors, wireless chimes, air pumps and dishwashers, and other washing machine components.

Finally, last Wednesday saw National Health Investors (NHI), a REIT, make the cut in what has been a powerful rally for the real estate investment trust since its low in 2008. The rally is trading near the upper part of its range but any weakness into the low $40s would probably peak the interest of buyers. The break of $35 was enough to push the stock to multi-year highs so there is no overhead supply concerns to consider, other than how far can it extend beyond $35.

National Health Investors, Inc., a real estate investment trust (REIT), invests in health care properties, primarily in the long-term care industry in the United States. As of December 31, 2008, it had investments in real estate assets and mortgage notes receivable investments in 123 health care facilities consisting of 83 long-term care facilities, 1 acute care hospital, 4 medical office buildings, 14 assisted living facilities, 4 retirement centers, and 17 residential projects for the developmentally disabled in 17 states.

Active Stock Screener: Dividend and Earnings

Our active Dividend and Earnings Screen saw a couple new entries and one stock fall out favour. The conditions for the scan are US stocks with a percentage change in annual revenue of 25% or more and a dividend yield of 5% or more. In total there are 73 stocks making the cut, but lets look at today's additions:

Baytex Energy

Who are they?

Baytex Energy Trust operates as an open-ended unincorporated investment trust. The company, through its subsidiaries, engages in acquiring, developing, exploiting, and holding interests in petroleum and natural gas properties and assets primarily in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan in Canada, as well as in North Dakota and Wyoming, the United States.

Analyst opinion:

Fourteen analysts cover the stock, nine of whom give it an 'Outperform', two 'Buy', two 'Hold' and just one a 'Sell'. The 1-year consensus estimate is $35.14.

Zignals opinion

We are still awaiting the first trading strategy or trading idea featuring Baytex Energy.



After cracking above $32.50 in mid-June last week's sell off has dropped the stock back inside its former range. Typical behaviour in these scenarios is a push back to support ($27.50) and then worse - but for now prices are holding the upper range with $34.00 a good place for a Zignals breakout Alert with a protective alert on a break of $27.50.

Gensis Energy L.P.

Who are they?

Genesis Energy, L.P., together with its subsidiaries, operates in the midstream segment of the oil and gas industry in the Gulf Coast area of the United States. The company operates through four divisions: Pipeline Transportation, Refinery Services, Industrial Gases, and Supply and Logistics.

Analyst opinion:

Five analysts cover the stock with three 'Buy' ratings and two 'Hold' recommendations. The 1-year consensus target is $21.25.

Zignals opinion

So far there are no trading strategies or trading ideas featuring Genesis Energy.



The stock is nicely poised inside a narrow range of $19.00-$19.50. The stock is benefiting from the 20-day MA cross above the 50-day MA (not shown). A Zignals Stock Alert for a price move within 1% of the 20-day MA might be a good buying opportunity. Momentum players may instead want an Alert for a close above $20.25. A protective Alert can go on a break of $19.00.

The measured target from the May-June base is $23.50 but should the larger market take another step down it will find it hard to swim against the tide.

Whish stock failed to meet the active screen standard?

GOOG's Disappointment Shouldn't Surprise

Just as Alcoa let its investors down, now goes Google. But yesterdays' earnings disappointment pales when compared to the malaise in the stock price action over 2010. While the likes of AAPL roar to new 52-week (and multi-year) highs, GOOG only managed to knock out a March reaction high yesterday - prior to earnings - and was well off January highs.

Now it looks like a push to January highs will be put on ice for a while as afterhours trading saw Google at $570 a share. So what can Google investors look forward too over the coming months?

While yesterday's close managed a break of $590 resistance it looks like this move will only push out the resistance boundary for the 3 1/2 month trading range now defined at support of $525 and resistance at $595.

Even with last night's disappointment there are levels of support within the range at $560 (good for most of March) and $550 (former resistance in February, spike low support in March - plus psychologically important). The chief concern is not to lose too much ground. If Google was to close around the $580 mark it could lead to a consolidation handle as sellers dry up. Sideline money would have to consider paying higher prices with the fear the stock could get away if $600 was breached. But if the stock was to close below $560 it would trap most of March and April buyers with losing positions, setting up a thick supply zone for any future advance into that zone ($560-600). If the overall market was to weaken then the risk of a rush to the exits and a test of $530 becomes much higher.



I have not offered a new Trading Idea as it will take a few days for earnings to work its way through price. A shorting opportunity would present on a close below $560 and a long opportunity on break of $600.

Carnival in London

Morgan Stanley came out this morning with a raised price target for Carnival (CCL) of £32 with a positive outlook for future business in Europe

We see tremendous potential in Europe, where the source market will generate nearly half of Carnival's profit this year and demand actually grew 6% last year

The news helped boost the FTSE in early trading.

Carnival is very nicely positioned for buyers. The stock enjoyed rapid gains throughout February - as most stocks did - but it was the action in early January which set the bullish tone. During the winter chill as stocks were heading south for warmer climes, Carnival made the bold move to new 52-week highs. The only blot came with a brief 3-day period of selling at the start of February, but this just confirmed £22 as strong support. By then global markets were working bullish reversals and Carnival was able to ride the stock buying wave up to £26.

From March through to today the stock has traded in mild bullish channel anchored by support at £26.50 (and rising) with resistance likely to kick in around £28.00 (and also rising). Today's upgrade to £32 with prices closer to support than resistance gives bulls reason for optimism. The analyst target of £32 is close to the measured move target of £31.50 - mutual confirmation for an upside target.



I have set a Trading Idea for a push to £31.49 with a stop on a break of £25.70.

Alcoa: Weak Earnings Catalyst for Head-and-Shoulder Reversal

Weak earnings for Alcoa will likely set the tone for Tuesday's trading, but will this mark the beginning of the end for the current rally as some are suggesting?

While profit taking is likely to hit large cap indices after three days of successively lower volume gains, the contagion, Alcoa, has been struggling for much longer.

The stock peaked at the start of 2010 with a high of $17.60 but unlike the rallies in the S&P, Dow and Nasdaq off February lows, Alcoa has failed to make much headway and remains some distance from challenging 2010 highs. Indeed, along with Verizon (VZ), it has been the biggest drag on the Dow Jones Industrial performance, down over 9% YTD compared to the +32% return for Boeing (BA).

The stock is shaping what looks to be a head-and-shoulder reversal pattern which on a break of the neckline, could see a long-term downside move to between $8.50 and $9.00 - toying with the summer lows of 2009.



I have created a Trading Idea for a push to $8.61 with a stop at $15.31.

Zignals Trading Strategies That Work; The Individual Trading Idea

While trading strategies are one aspect of the equation, another is the trading idea; individual stocks on the move because of momentum, breakouts or reactions to positive news (e.g. FDA approval). I keep a regular track of stocks making moves past resistance on volume. How have some of these performed?

SIG was one of 18 breakouts from March 26th and at the time I had marked it "best of the bunch". The stock breakout followed the quaint concept of making a profit. The current Trading Idea is still in play with a target price of $35.99.



QLTY made a break on April 1st following a 'Buy' rating. It finished that day at $6.50 and has since pushed on to challenge $7.75. The measured move target of $9.45 is still there for the taking, although it is looking extended in the near term.



One of my Irish Trading Ideas performing well is Aryzta (YZA). Another buying opportunity looks ready to present once the current "bull flag" resolves. A stop can be placed on a loss of the "bull flag" low which will also protect the profits from the original Trading Idea.

Zignals Trading Strategies That Work; March 16th

Fed decision day will likely keep markets quiet until the afternoon, but with the market sliding a little in favour of bears - although still a couple days worth of losses away from the first of many potential support levels - it's unlikely the annoucement will cause any significant shift away from the dominant bull trend. Indeed the SPY breakout is holding with a natural support level created by Monday's 'tail' at $114.50 which sits just below breakout support of $115.09; look for bears to become more aggressive if $114.50 breaks with any shorts joining the fray likely to cover on break of $116. A push above $116 could see a quick jump higher triggered by short covering, maybe offering another 1% in gains.

Beyond potential short covering it will become increasingly difficult for bulls to maintain the momentum of the 1-year+ rally. The SPY has a P/E value of 42.7 which is well above the median value for the S&P of 15.7. Assuming a return to median then either [a] the SPY has to fall in value or [b] SPY component earnings have to rise to lower the P/E ratio. With real unemployment running in the double digits its hard to see where [b] will come from. So it will be necessary for the SPY to devalue to bring it back to 'fair' value - with a little help from improving earnings.

Zignals Trading Strategies That Work

This week's sample trading strategy signals come from the 108 trading systems listed in the Advanced-Search Stragies of the Zignals MarketPlace.

Short Trender [December] New Short Target and Stop for CSCO (Nasdaq) at $22.67 (EoD): Target $19.24, Stop $24.45. Battle Royale in the $22.50-$22.85 support zone with bears winning today's battle (so far). Initial short trigger came on December 15th. A break of $22.55 sets up the possibility for a measured move down to $20.


UK High Winners New Long Target and Stop for CCT (London) at 83p (EoD): Target 94p, Stop 81p. Three days of solid gains on rising volume have pushed this up to 88p from 75p. Recent positive earnings will have helped drive the rally. The strategy purchased the stock at 75p on January 25th.


ASX Oak New Short Target and Stop for WPL (Sydney) at AU$43.01 (EoD): Target AU$38.50, Stop AU$47.06. This short trade was entered back in October 2009. The stock has seen recent troubles with a workers strike, but its the trend which is helping the trade most here.


Indian Strength Long Exit at Trailing Stop for TELCO (Mumbai) at INR724.3 (EoD). With markets acclerating their loses there have been a large number of stop exits. However, some of these exits have come away with some reasonable returns. In this example, Telco - bought on November 30th and sold on Wednesday's close - returned 13%.


ISEQ Elm Long Exit at Trailing Stop for DCC (ISEQ) at €18.86 (EoD). A successful long trade - although it was unfortunate there wan't other long signals to take advantage of the well defined channel. Trade was entered at the end of November and exited on January 26th for a modest 4.6% gain. Given weakness in other markets the stop hit is looking prudent.

Zignals Trading Strategies That Work.

Here I present some of the trade signals triggered after yesterday's close and today, intraday, from a small portion of the 105 trading strategies available for subscribers from the Advanced Search - Strategies menu in the MarketPlace for Trading Strategies.

ETF Heaven - Medium Long Confirmation Entry for QID (NYSE). The inverse ETF of the QQQQs has yet to emerge from its $18.25-19.25 trading range, but once it does it will have room to run to $21s and possibly more. As a straight trading idea there is a 10%+ reward on a 4% risk.


bul-lock Long Entry for CREE (Nasdaq). Whether this will play out as a whipsaw trade given the sharp move down to up, there is at least a powerful bull trend to back the signal.


UK High Winners [December] New Long Target and Stop for NSR (London) at 46p (EoD): Target 52p, Stop 45p. This position was originally entered on January 4th at 42.08p and is up 12.9% as of today's price. The stock remains range bound by 37.50p support and 47.50p resistance. A break of 47.50p resistance would bring up a measured move target of 57.50p - but todays easing back of resistance won't help matters in the short term.


US Strength Target Notification Hit for SBUX (Nasdaq) at $24.19 (Intraday): Target $24.04 on 21Jan 14:30; Signal confirmation required at market close. The initial position was taken on 23rd November 2009 at $21.85 and today's pop triggered the intraday alert for the target price. However, since the open the stock has drifted below what was resistance at $23.81 and if this remains so into the close no confirmation trigger will be made. SBUX had announced earnings results above expectations after the close on Wednesday.


Indian Golden Brown Long Confirmation Entry for HALC (Mumbai). A solid looking entry with prices approaching the apex of a bullish flag (wedge?), contained within a larger bull channel. A suggested trading idea places a stop just below flag/wedge support with a buy on a break of flag/wedge resistance. One for Indian Traders.


This wraps the five ideas for this week.

Irish Shares for 2010

With the New Year well under way the Paddy Power dart throwing 'Monkey' took a stab at picking some Irish stocks for 2010, as did a few Homo Sapiens. Article featured in the Sunday Independent on December 27th.

The Monkey picks for 2010 (chart comments were not those of the monkey!):

Independent News and Media


Aer Lingus


Ryanair


Paddy Power


Smurfit Kappa


The stock pickers of the human variety had plumped for the following (chart comments are independent of their picks):

Amanda Brunker (Author) is gunning for Petroceltic (PCI), Kenmare (KMR), and Paddy Power (PLS). There were two non-Irish picks: Tesco (TSCO) and Google (GOOG). Expectation for ISEQ at end of year: 3,300

Fergus Murphy (ESB) is looking to C&C (CCY), CRH (CRG), CPL Resources (DQ5), FBD Holdings (EG7), Irish Continental (IR5A), and Smurfit Kappa (SK3). Expectation for ISEQ at end of year: 3,500



Tom McGurk (4 FM) has the following on watch for 2010: Paddy Power (PLS), Ryanair (RYA), FBD (EG7), Smurfit Kappa (SK3), Kerry Group (KRZ) and Greencore (GCG). Expectation for ISEQ at end of year: 2,985.


Brenda Shanahan ('The Apprentice') has gone for Allied Irish Banks (AIB), Paddy Power (PLS), C&C, Ryanair (RYA), Aryzta (YZA), and Kerry Group (KRZ).

Finally, Feargal Quinn (Senator), has opted for CPL Resources (DQ5), Merrion Pharma (3MP), Worldspreads (WSPR), Bank of Ireland (BKIR), Irish Contentinal Group (IR5A) and C&C. Expectation for ISEQ at end of year: 4,500.

So, in summary, we have four picks out of six for Paddy Power (PLS) - although how random the Paddy Power Monkey was in 'picking' this is up for debate! Three picks for Ryanair (RYA), C&C, and Smurfit Kappa (SK3). With a couple of picks for Kerry Group (KRZ), Irish Continental (IR5A), and CPL Resources (DQ5).

How will all of this playout in 2010?
