Shares of Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE:GS) is approaching a technical support level I intend to buy. The level is the daily 200 moving average as well as a former pivot. The stock is down from a 52 week high of $255.15 to its current level below $214.00. One more push down will tag that multi-support level and yield a likely bounce. The buy trade level is $210.00.

Buying Past Breakout Levels To Make Money

Many traders and investors are always talking about the story or press releases from a company. In fact, if you watch CNBC, Bloomberg or Fox Business News you will always hear why such and such a stock is going to move higher. There always seems to be a catalyst or story behind the coming move higher for the particular equity that is being touted. Rarely, will the talking head in the financial media talk about chart reading or technical analysis.

Lets take a look at a stock which has very good chart support coming up for a potential trade. The name of the company is Jacobs Engineering Group Inc (NYSE:JEC). This stock has been selling off since late January when it traded as high as $63.42 a share. Today, Jacobs Engineering Group Inc stock is trading at $53.48 a share. This is obviously a significant pullback in the share price of JEC stock. So where is the buy level for JEC stock since it has declined so much? Well, this is when we want to look at the weekly chart to see if the there is technical reason for a bounce higher or for the selling to stop. The first thing that traders should note on the weekly chart is that the 200-weekly moving average sits at $50.62 a share. This level also happens to coincide with the November 2016 breakout. Now this is what a technical chart reader would call institutional sponsorship. This trade level is where I would be a buyer of JEC stock. Now, patiently wait for the equity to trade down to the $50.62 area on the chart.

Institutional traders and investors will generally support stocks and markets at these prior breakout levels. This same technique can often be applied on multiple time-frames for day trading, swing trading and investing. Obviously, you will and should test this method first, but with some practice you will find this tactic to be extremely useful when trading all equities.

Go With Growth

Friday December 12, 12:59 pm ET

ByTim Melvin, RealMoney.com Contributor

http://biz.yahoo.com/ts/081212/10452953.html?.v=1

Back in 2006, I spent the better part of a day playing around with a stock selection back-tester and found several of the value screens I use now, including the book value and dividend screens I often write about. Two others offered high returns as well, but were not true value screens.

I wanted to revisit them, so I ran them back through my quick and dirty back-tester to make sure they were still valid. Both still beat the market handily over the past five-, 10- and 20-year periods. Armed with this information, I ran the criteria through the value-line stock screener to see what names pop up.

One of the screens is a very simple growth screen that eliminates most accounting gimmicks and earnings manipulation while spotting companies that grow over long periods of time, not just this year's fad stock. The criteria are simple: Earnings must be growing in excess of 15% a year for the past 10 years and book value must have grown at close to that level or more, indicating that management is successfully reinvesting earnings and continuing to grow the company. The absolute level of book does not matter in this screen, just the growth rate.

I found some names that are worth a further look given the steep selloff in the market this year. These companies are having a tough time like everybody else, but management has proven they know how to grow over the long term.

A reader not long ago berated me for leaving Dell off my list of cash-rich companies and perhaps justifiably so: the company is flush with $6 billion in net cash, or about 25% of the current stock price. Dell also has a tremendous growth record -- according to my screener, the company has grown earnings over the past 10 years at 21% and reinvested the profits to grow net worth by 16%.

Most analysts feel Dell will continue to grow at a decent rate into the future. The company also could be a beneficiary of the new presidential administration's plan to wire schools, hospitals and communities. At less than 9 times earnings and an EV/EBITDA ratio of less than 4, the stock appears cheap. Michael Dell seems to think so, having purchased better than 5 million shares this year.

Tiffany's might be in the worst segment of the retail market: High-end jewelry is a luxury item that is expected to suffer in the months ahead. But the company easily makes the list of growth winners, growing earnings and net worth at 17% a year for the last decade. Tiffany's has doubled in price off the lows of the last recession.

The next few quarters could be tough for the third-largest jewelry retailer in the U.S., but over the long run, management has proven it knows how to execute. This is one that will probably go lower before it recovers, but it belongs on your watch list of great growth companies.

Manitowoc has been mentioned several times on RealMoney as a potential infrastructure play. Even without massive stimulus spending, the company has been a winner, growing earnings and net worth at better than 20% annually for the past 10 years. The company has more than $3 billion in its crane business and continues to expand into food services. Manitowoc has more cash than debt and trades for less than 2 times EV/EBITDA.

Some other long-term growth winners span a wide range of industry groups. Retailers Urban Outfitters and Buckle make the grade, as well as technology leaders Cisco and Oracle . Jacobs Engineering , yet another infrastructure company, passes the growth screen.

A screen is just a starting point. The market could experience further downside through at least the fourth quarter of next year -- trade accordingly and tiptoe into positions, or consider using LEAP call spreads to establish positions and limit risk. However, a list of proven winning companies is a good place to shop in a bear market.

Jacobs Engineering focuses on providing a broad range of technical, professional and construction services to a large number of industrial, commercial and governmental clients worldwide. The company offers project services; consulting services; operations and maintenance services; and construction services via offices primarily in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. In FY 06 (Sep.), revenues by sector were: chemicals, 15%; buildings, 5%; national government (environmental, defense and NASA), 17%; PharmaBio (pharmaceutical and biotech), 9%; petroleum (oil and gas and refining), 38%; infrastructure, 8%; technology, 2%; pulp and paper, 1%; and other 5%. Technical professional services accounted for 45% of revenues, with the balance derived from field services. At December 31, 2006, total backlog was $10.4 billion (53% from technical professional services), up nearly 16% from $9.0 billion a year earlier, reflecting new awards for federal and petroleum projects. JEC expects to ramp up backlog in FY 07 (Sep.), but believes quarterly backlog could be uneven.We think this is normal for E&C companies, and, in our view, projections should be based on full fiscal year comparisons. The company expects about 65% of its backlog to be realized as revenues within the next fiscal year. Project services include the engineering and design of process plants and high-technology facilities. Construction services offers traditional field services to private and public sector clients. Process, scientific and systems consulting includes market analyses to determine the feasibility of a project. Operations and maintenance services include all tasks required to keep a process plant in day-to-day operation. In FY 06, revenues derived from agencies of the U.S. government accounted for 16.4% of the total, down from over 21% in FY 05. JEC sees total federal contracts (40%) gradually rising to 50% of its business. Revenues from operations outside of the U.S. accounted for 35% of the total in FY 06, down from 34% in FY 05, with Europe providing 23% of FY 06 total company revenues. In FY 06, Valero Energy Corp. accounted for in excess of 10% of JEC's total revenues. In FY 06, stock option expense was $0.08 a share (adjusted for a 2-for-1 split in March 2007).
