  • Docoof: $ACHC Took a position today when it held the 50d. It’s early, but I wanted to buy close to support. It’s been basing for around four months and I like the look of the chart. I would say it’s in the healthcare industry, but IBD has it listed in medical outpatient/home care. Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. is a provider of behavioral healthcare services across the United States. It is focused on acquiring and developing behavioral healthcare facilities. It is engaged in developing and operating inpatient psychiatric facilities, residential treatment centers, group homes, substance abuse facilities and facilities providing outpatient behavioral healthcare services to serve the behavioral health and recovery needs of communities throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.

  • Docoof: $ACHC Acadia Healthcare Company hasn’t been mentioned in the forum since 2021 (2 times). Imo, $ACHC is moving out of a 6-wk consolidation base and the daily & weekly charts look very promising. Closed Friday at 84.17. ATH = 86.75 on 9/12/22. Acadia Healthcare is a behavioral health company that operates inpatient psych hospitals, residential treatment centers and outpatient clinics as well as therapeutic school-based programs across the United States and in the United Kingdom. The company operates a network of 229 behavioral healthcare facilities with approximately 10,100 beds in 40 states and Puerto Rico.
  • JosephM: $DEll $ACHC look good but I'm taking a walk instead.
  • spmeyers: $ACHC nice setup; earnings feb 25
  • JosephM: $ACHC...new high, volume, not as tight as I would like but throwing it out there. Has some short interest as well.
  • issues: @DAN $DVA bought a small starter position. Others in the same group (IBD 70) include $AMED $LHCG $ACHC $AHCO and I bought 1/2 position in ACHC. Like the BO!!
  • indigo1948: $ACHC - big drop - showing the risk of holding over earnings.
  • efrain007: $ACHC another possible trade for a reversal. Gapping down 25% on earnings and already down 20% in last 3 months
  • efrain007: $ACHC in at 33 stop day low
  • ab3250: $IBM - puts for a day trade $ACHC - long common for a day trade
  • ab3250: $ACHC - out at $34
  • efrain007: @ab3250 $ACHC Nice flip. Guess I should have done the same but thought it might have more juice.
  • efrain007: $ACHC stop raised to 32.50
  • efrain007: $ACHC stopped out for small loss 32.47
  • Bridget: $ACHC big reversal today after earnings
  • bnnybklyn: @Bridget $ACHC sold a lot of things yesterday but not that one...
  • bnnybklyn: $ACHC what's moving this one ? DC ?
  • Bridget: $ACHC is coming out of some sidways consolidation to the upside. now above $50. ER on 7/27.
  • Bridget: #Notes: $XLK - health care bill dead $HUM $CI $AET $UNH down, but $ACHC holding nicely $IBM - reports after hours $JNJ - bullish engulfing $CZR - breakout, $MGM also looks good $EROS - breakout $TRU - breakout to new high $V - making a run along with $PYPL, ER on 7/20 $RTN - has room to run, ER 7/27 $FB - new highs with many other tech stocks $TTMI - close to new high $RH - another new 52 week high $JD - W pattern $HCC - #ipo working $TRVG - working $AYX - ipo working $CMG - getting crushed again on news

  • rbrown2222: $ACHC + 1/2 % Thursday. My target is 55. Bought at 47 Short squeeze still in effect. Updated numbers 30% short float and 26 days to cover. Any opinions? Short squeeze numbers always iffy/outdated. Not giving me any reason to sell
  • stevef214: @rbrown2222 $ACHC Schwab comes up with numbers very close. I tried to get in the other day but my bid did not hit. Was thinking about it today but may wait o after the holiday mostly because I will be traveling all next week and thus limited trading.
  • fishing777: $ACHC...breaking out of 3 day consolidation
  • spmeyers: @Bobbie $ACHC use @Dan; otherwise he may not see it
  • spmeyers: @Bobbie $ACHC my target (I'm long) is the resistance ~51; stop goes below today's low
  • Bobbie: @Dan, $ACHC, My cost basis is $47.80.
  • Bobbie: @Dan, $ACHC... This is the first time to buy a heavily shorted stock anticipating a big gap up before earnings. So, I own a starter position with no exit strategy. Now that I've bought a starter position, what should my target selling price be and/or when should I add?
  • rbrown2222: $ACHC working +4% today. Short squeeze forcing some buying. Last number showed 29 days to cover. XBI/IBB also bouncing on some volume.
  • bRobert: $DVAX . $RGEN . $CARA . $ACHC . $CORT SHORT SQUEEZES continue. CORT nh . adding on pullbacks . Small cap biotech .
  • SamG: @Kurt1 $ACHC I would look at the low from 6/23/17, and then the 20d (approx $45). But right now I think the trend is intact.
  • Esther: $THC $ACHC anyone watching them? They don't look super strong to me...is it too early to tell?

  • spmeyers: @Esther $THC $ACHC ACHC looks fine to me, just a low-volume summer Friday...
  • Bridget: $ACHC broke through the recent high. Not far extended on the weekly.
  • rbrown2222: DAN, Thanks for $GILD, turned an OK day in to a really nice day. Got on $ACHC from Bridgett, HUGE short squeeze, just needs to keep going up
  • DAN: @rbrown2222 $GILD $ACHC That's great, rbrown2222. Congrats on those trades. $$
  • Aragorn: @Aragorn $BIO $LITE $ACHC $RGEN $DNBF $HBI $AMGN $INGR $MAA $DXCM $YUM $TGT $CAG $HTZ . The following short Rev strats worked real well DXCM YUM TGT HTZ. I am not sure who day trades and who doesn't but when I put out some of this stuff it can work really well
  • Aragorn: Hers are some potential Rev strats hammers for Monday based on the daily chart and chart patterns/locations I like and ones I think have the potential to give you something if they trigger. I ma leave off inexpensive tickers and ones that trade on low volume $BIO $LITE $ACHC $RGEN $DNBF $HBI Below are rev strat shooters looking to short on Monday $AMGN $INGR $MAA $DXCM $YUM $TGT $CAG $HTZ
  • woodman: #MedicalCare rising in anticipation? $CYH $THC $ACHC $QHC $HCA etc.
  • gmj: @woodman $CYH $THC $ACHC $QHC $HCA #MedicalCare Thx for the heads up. Is anyone buying these ahead of the vote ? I'm willing to wait ... call me chicken. Still lots of cash after profit taking wait and see approach re healthcare.
  • spmeyers: @woodman $CYH $THC $ACHC $QHC $HCA #MedicalCare $QHC looks like good short setup
  • stevef214: $ACHC I have an ask in to close it out with a small gain. ER tomorrow AMO. Anyone else in this?
  • TunaHelper: @stevef214 $ACHC Earnings are AH today.
  • stevef214: @TunaHelper $ACHC Earnings cast said in 23 hours when I checked this morning but it may not have been updated since yesterdays close, IDK. I am out now anyway but Thx for the heads up
  • stevef214: $WB, $MBLY, $ACHC Out $WB nice gain. I have a bid in to sell $MBLY for a small loss. Earnings for $WB is AMC today and $MBLY is Wed BMO so if you want to be out for ER on either you have essentially today
  • BinaryJay17: @stevef214 $WB $MBLY $ACHC Just a note that $WB reports AMC on the 22nd - tomorrow.
  • stevef214: @BinaryJay17 $WB $MBLY $ACHC yes, thx I wrote it down wrong. Well I'm out anyway, LOL to others

  • vfr777: @DAN $ACHC at $41.65 breaking above the resistance of Nov. $41.20 and Jan. $40.40 also looks like out of a squeeze. Although the 50sma is below the 200sma. Is it a good purchase here?
  • DAN: @vfr777 $ACHC Has some upside momentum...but it's up pretty big for the past couple of days (relative to the usual trading range). So I'm not sure that it's worth chasing here....though if I already owned it, I'd just let it run. I'm probabily being a bit cautious thought, because you can see an inverse H&S reversal pattern going back to November. Will cover tonight.
  • spmeyers: @vfr777 $ACHC the gap fill at 42.5 could even be a short if one goes for counter-trend plays
  • vfr777: @DAN $ACHC Thanks will look forward. If it's a reverse H&S then wouldn't the neckline be at around $40 and this is a breakout? Are you looking for it to come back and test the neckline?
  • vfr777: @spmeyers $ACHC That's a consideration. Thanks for your view.
  • tilman: $DIS, $UA, $NKE, $MHK, $ORLY, $SBAC, $ACHC my trading journal entry all of these are in long term uprends and now at terrific buy points on the weekly charts. yet when i look long term at "the market"it is trending down. so my conundrum is buy these uptrending stocks at good buy points or keep cash for my position. i know i could buy small and keep a stop but i am afraid of getting a thousand paper cuts in this volitile enviroment or missing the upside long term.
  • rah: #Hospitals - Update 8/17/15 - $UHS $THC $CYH $HCA $ADPT $ACHC $LPNT $SSY $AAC $SCAI

    On 8/4/15 I posted a list of hospital type stocks ( click #Hospitals ) with a little detail, a look at growth and an article on the topic. Do the SMM click search on ...
  • Tr8dr: $ACHC This is very close to the IBD buy point of 81.86 and has a nice looking chart for a LTH. Does using the IBD buy point generally work out ok?
  • rah: #Hospitals - Update - $UHS $THC $CYH $HCA $ADPT $ACHC $LPNT $SSY $AAC $SCAI

    General improvement with this group. $ADPT still looks best. $UHS is good and $THC (should be, may be back up this afternoon?)

    $AAC is down significantly on bad news inde ...
  • rah: ...
    $ACHC (Acadia Healthcare Co.) focus is in Inpatient behavioral services across 18 states. It may be considered overvalued but does have a 25% growth rate projection. It is on my watch list and may be a consideration above $80, primarily due to Frida ...
  • JBed: $ACHC This name is now in a super tight daily wedge and has been holding above $61. Looking for a breakout after a big gap up a couple of weeks ago. One to watch.
  • hwyflier: $ACHC : Precisely off support line.
  • bradleyrich: @Barney $ACHC I don't see it.

  • Henry4432: $ACHC - Nice buying in this name today after a period of distribution. This is a psychiatric services company that has a beautiful weekly chart. Growing earnings at 30%. Long. @Dan has covered this name previously. http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=ACHC&p=D&yr=0&mn=3&dy=0&id=p41100104173 Daily http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=ACHC&p=W&yr=1&mn=3&dy=0&id=p84995791236 Weekly
  • Jorma: $ACHC @Henry4432 - wow, that is a beautiful weekly chart. I would have trouble buying it here, but on daily, I would be interested at around 43, about the 50d ma, which has been support that last two times it hit, back in October. Thanks for pointing this one out.
  • rah: $HCA @Josh - (reposted from comment on your article) Hi @Josh - Nice catch on this highlight. I do watch this Industry with great interest and anticipation as Affordable Health Care Act gets rolled out. Many of these Hospital Groups should see continued improvement, probably for years and at least till the financial reality of this program is known. With the anticipation of increased insurance enrollment and the service utilization that would likely follow in the healthcare system, we will likely see a higher percentage of "winners" within this group. I would surely be interested in knowing your take on this (if you also follow this Industry). I am watching $UHS, $ACHC, $THC but $HCA (from what I have read) has a much lower Earnings Growth Rate, actually negative - despite the chart. My thanks to you for your hard work and presence here at SMM/OMM - rah
