HSY - it is rare to find them this bullish. Again, one to lock away, adding all the way up:
Long term 10 yr, a true CANSLIM - type cup and handle (target 75):
1yr, shows the handle portion as a possible continuation rectangle (target 57.50):
10 minute, showing continuation pattern that points to break outs on the longer term patterns are ahead:
This could easily pull back into a longer handle (see 10 yr) but rarely are they so clear and easy to trade with the backdrop of such bullish charts. A true no-brainer.
HSY solidly progressing. Good earnings, but the chart has been clear for very long. Lock this away in the IRAs - a good one to buy and forget about for a while.

SMPP charts....
The range-bound .0003 to .0005 is a triple bottom, broken out and target from this is .0008:
The .0008 target suggests that SMPP will at least visit its longer term resistance at .0009; this price is the top resistance of a larger double bottom. Once over .0009, then .0017 is the next stop:
(yes, bottoms can be, and often are, uneven in these formations. This one is within proper tolerance to remain vailid)
SMPP is waking up. First target at .0008. The .0003s already a double. The key with these is getting out just when it feels most promising. There are targets at .002 as well.
Last target here called at 18.35 (short term, temporary sign post on the way up). Now look at that exact price level on a 1 min chart with the 18.35 shown with a horizontal supp / resis line. It will sound conspiratorial, but these foot print targets are NOT random.
It is possible (but not easy) to "read" the output
HSY very bullish charts (from short to long term):
2 minute chart, this little rounding scallop formation is a typical continuation sign in a strong uptrend:
Which suggests this flag / measure move on the 60 will continue to its upward target at 52.50:
If that target (52.50) comes then it points to a solid breakout upwards from this continuation rectangle on the 2yr.:
And that 2 yr. continuation rectangle points to this cup and handle on the 10yr moving up to its target at 70:
LEAPS are an easy buy, add, and hold for this hugely bullish stock.
The next bubble (watch it crash in 2012 just in time for election cycle)....... commodities. Great money to be made, but get out before or with the Goldman Sachs big boys.
Adding C aggressively today.
C very close to running at that 5.13 once again. Potential island bottom that is also an inverse head and shoulders on declining volum - 30 min chart.
BP bear flag on the 2 / 5 minute - the next dollar down is in front of it here.
LUV 60 minute chart - broke out of a measured bear move from the most recent 14+ top. The small corrective uptrend starting in mid Dec. looks over. Target on this measured move is 11.50. If 11.50 comes then it will have broken down from the head and shoulders (end of 9/2010 to present) which targets at the larger potential double top support at 10.40. If that double top breaks down, target, longer term, is likely 6.60.
This morning puts were a huge flip for 80+% (not sure who buys so out of the money two days in front of expiry - LOL).
LUV short term puts have almost doubled this morn for a great flip.
C will could prove to move back up after coiling into a short (1 or 2 min chart) triangle - good reentry here??
BP has started a longer walk down here IMO.
HSY getting another leg up this morning. Approaching the top of a continuation rectangle with resistance at 51.40. Once over, the target is the width of the rectangle added to this resistance / breakout line which, here, is 57.80.
Here is why HSY is my favorite long-term hold, a great IRA type stock to sit on and add at each valley: The long term is a clear cup and handle (there is also a measured bull move here) with target at 70.
I have been accumulating this and LEAPS on this from 45 - 46 price levels.
This one hasn't even started.... loving the leaps.
i never jumped to a conclusion, i was giving the situation a benefit of doubt. he mentions 'mind control' in his youtube video. you jumped into the conclusion that it was Palin's fault, when Jared was actually "quite liberal" according to his old classmate. you are no better by pointing fingers and placing blame, that kinda action can fuel hate/anger towards Palin, something you say you're highly against.
i thought u were the type that was not quick to judge, i find it very disappointing.
stock price is part of the deal though
Possibly, but the overall deal price is fixed regardless of the LUV stock price.
dont think its negative but i think it means the price will be artificially held at a certain point for a reason.
LODE is a pretty easy hold and add here. It has already shown it wants to move up out of its wedge (a common, counter-trend, continuation pattern) as it is up over the resistance, now support, top line. Target just on that little pattern is ~4.75.
Add the rising channel that the stock is likely operating in, for now, and one can see this is a great risk/reward add even up here; it is likely, longer term, that 5s + are coming.
I have a position and am holding tight myself.
Hey Darby how about some updated LODE charts? Drill results within a few days too. Always love the Black Swan wild-card events that can be lucrative to your bottom line eh? I am holding a massive position averaged in the low $1s and think this is finally going to be the year some dore is poured and the company gets something approaching a fair market value. Could be a GORO sized year.
All the best.

Decent shape - problem is seen, and this is specific to cup and handles, when you back out to see more on a longer time chart - too much congestion to the left. Cup and handles perform best when a clear strong uptrend precedes, WM characterizes more sideways action; that could easily, equally be a double top. Not enough confirming evidence to say cup and handle there for me - shape is not enough (especially on these). Contrary to O'Neil they are not the best performers, this is due to the fact that they are only true cup and handles when given set of secondary factors exists, shape is not enough; but when correctly i.d.'d they can be very powerful.
I don't know. I really don't even consider that stuff - price behavior only. What do you think, is this negative for LUV?
Not even close to reality. Yes, that is paranoid and delusional. It is actually offensive.
Why would you jump to the conclusion that every tragic outlier is a government false flag as if that is a given? I assumed too much based on your past posts about you, you are now scaring me with your thinking. Such a thought requires hard evidence otherwise it is only the product of the trappings of your own mind. It in no way deserves even the assumption that it is a possibility. Sick.
paranoid delusion? are u serious? government's false flag operations are used to further their agenda. this one to limit free speech and gun control

There is no basis but paranoid delusion to say the FBI or anything was "pulling his strings". Are you really serious? What possible reason would you assume that? No, I would not even entertain that and hold any judgement based on suck a, to me, insane thought. There is evil and insanity in this world - sometimes it is as simple as that.
i tried to ascribe rationality to him, because i know that people do not kill without a reason. people do not just become serial/mass killers overnight, it builds up. i've done research papers/studies on serial killers.
and what if the FBI was involved in the shooting? with recent FBI involvements with 2 terrorist bombers in 2010, how r u sure the FBI wasn't pulling his strings? since the FBI could've been the one orchestrating the action, u should withhold your judgment.
The soldier is not the psychopath, but the those that orchestrated that action are the evil
how do you think this plays into it?

Yes. Then it will be a question of coming up from that bottom support and forming a continuation rectangle or breaking down from that support as a larger double top. There will be indications from price as it gets there.
you see it going back to 10.50 or so?
Had this prediction on DJI several days ago (made at 11700 level):

Now, notice this short term supp/resistance line at that 80pt drop level after the fact. These footprints can be very, very specific and targets often become areas of magnetic support and resistance (their importance is relative to the time frame from where the premise stems - as seen here, even very short term targets are magnetic).
BTW, patterns indicate more downside. I had a perception that many issues were forming sea change patterns since the beginning of this year.

I did very clearly. Hawks said "it takes a strong person to kill someone" in reference to this psychopath. You tried to ascribe rationality to him as if he was just a freedom fighter for his own ideals - equating him to a soldier; false equality.
I stand by what I said - I do not propose to ban anyone's expression no matter how crude (what Beck does most days is reckless and Palins targets were unacceptable). HOWEVER, what Clinton once said after Oklahoma City was that words and rhetoric do fall on both the rational and unhinged. And those in power or prominence have a personal responsibility to understand this fact when they speak. (and P.S. to your false equality argument, I am equally appalled by any Iraqi child or civilian caught in crossfire. The soldier is not the psychopath, but the those that orchestrated that action are the evil (Cheney, Bush, Rumsfield). That is a moral equivalency.
Then here comes Buddie calling us weak drama queens. Pathetic that I ever befriended that person. Complete cold, detached disregard for human events and void of all empathy. These are some of the lacking qualities in society that bring us this crap.
Darby u should go read hawks and my posts from Saturday. I believe the tragedy got u so built up that u felt anybody who disagreed with u on anything at that very moment was a cold hearted monster. Now that u have calmed down, u should go back and read the posts. We are not monsters, we just don't like to judge ppl too quickly, this explains why hawks was in the FLD til the very end. We aren't mad at the fact that u said "fuck you, I hope u lose your shirts" because we knew the issue was due to misunderstanding
I personally don't remember saying anything about a 9 year old.. Losing a child is probably one of the saddest things one could hear about. Personally, I think anyone who causes the pointless death of a child should bear witness to the slowest most painful death that could possibly exist.
You sir are twisting an argument about one thing and making it about something it is not..
you were quick to jump to conclusions and fault Sarah Palin for what had happened. I am not a fan of Palin as I think she's an idiot, but the way u blamed her for the shooter's action is something i highly disagreed with.
You see, your actions of pointing fingers and placing blame on others is how u spread hate, so your actions contradicted your stance on the issue.
What if a criminal shot and killed Palin and people blamed u for it because of your post linking Palin to the shooting?
Hawks and I were not commending Jared in any way. We just acknowledged the fact that it takes strength to kill people.
I have children very much like that 9 year old. What you folks have shown in your posts the other day have shown me what kind of people you really are. Buddie too - unbelievable lack of compassion and understanding. Strength? A sociopath / psychotic? That is strength? All the equivalency you tried to coldly argue is false equivalency and displays a deep lack of understanding or values, or, at least a world view and humanity that I find deeply offensive. Sorry, can't hang with that......
Well, that's just effed in the head..
watching as well
