Trade of the Week for April
Week 1
Regions Financial Corp (RF) We made trade selection using components of the Regional Bank ETFs. Although there are many good looking candidates in that sector, Regions Financial Corp (RF) has the best chart and some solid fundamental data too. The stock closed on Friday back above all the key moving averages with a balance sheet stronger than many other banks out there.
Week 2
Taseko Mines (TGB) Stocks under 5 dollars are prone to higher percentage moves over a short period of time. Normally we do not focus on these, but for some reason, this week we cannot ignore it. Taseko Mines has been on our radar for some time now and the timing looks to be absolutely perfect for TGB to be the Trade of the Week. A beautiful wedge break and retest of that area.
Week 3
Cisco Systems (CSCO) The smaller and mid-cap companies have not been participating in the recent rallies we see in the major indexes. For this reason we are going to focus only on a large cap name right now. As a sector, the networking names seem to be setting up well for this week. Cisco Systems (CSCO) is one of the biggest names in that sector and the chart looks like it is breaking out of a tight range.
Week 4
Velodyne Lidar, Inc (VLDR) This week we are looking for a basing pattern again rather than a continuation pattern like last week. Velodyne Lidar, Inc (VLDR) is a relatively new issue and is showing strong signs of basing here under 15 dollars. We will go over the finer details of the basing pattern on our Tuesday evening webinar so please join us then. The declining 50-day simple moving average in blue is the one last hurdle for VLDR to clear. If VLDR can post a few closing days above the 50-sma this week, the chances for a move higher increase tremendously.
