  • DAN: Active Trade Update -- Removing $LPG $ALSN $WFRD $COST

    $LPG -- Stopped out at 27.90. The stock is still above the 50-day moving average, but this 4.4% decline is a bad sign. Also, yesterday’s volume was nearly 2 million shares. While the st ...
  • DAN: ...

    $LPG -- Still working.


    Services:

    $PUMP -- Watch this.
    $NR -- Can’t touch this.

  • DAN: MY NOTES: SS 092223 $SPY -- Trade what your eyes are telling you. $DIA -- ditto $COMPQX -- This is an obvious reversal pattern. Watch 13,200 $NDX -- 14,600 support $IYT -- No joy in Mudville here. $MDY -- Brutal $IWM -- Brutaller $T2108 -- 23% above 40 dayma. Not good $T2107 -- Lower lows. Active Trade Ideas -- not too many are “active.” Don’t let ‘em become radioactive. $ALSN -- Holding at 50-day MA. $COP -- Stopped at 119.50 yesterday for a very small loss. $FANG -- Stopped at 151.70 for small gain. $GOOGL -- Stopped out yesterday. $LPG -- High volume breakout. $MA -- Stopped out for $2.40 loss $SPOK -- Stopped out yesterday on a big reversal. Down again today. 3 down days is not buyable here. $UBER -- Stopped at 45.50 $WFRD -- Holding at 89.95 stop. $MPC -- Weekly looks good. Daily…not so much.
  • DAN: ...
    $ALSN -- Down today, though holding the 50-day moving average. Remember that this stock is fairly illiquid, with only 5,450 shares trading so far today. One big seller can knock you out. But one big buyer can take the stock higher. Adhere to your ...
  • DAN: ...
    No changes to stocks on the ATI -- $FANG $WDAY $GOOGL $MA $COP $WFRD $AMZN $ALSN $SPOK. My suggestion is that you give special attention to the weekly charts on these stocks. The weeklies reveal the true trend of stocks and are a much better indic ...
  • wijimmy: @DAN $FANG $WDAY $GOOGL $MA $COP $WFRD $AMZN $ALSN $SPOK..@DAN .. "Wish" you would DELETE your self-editing app ... {but I get it}...
  • DAN: @wijimmy $FANG $WDAY $GOOGL $MA $COP $WFRD $AMZN $ALSN $SPOK LOL. I get that a lot. But I also get the other kind, where people urge me to update it so that it works better. And I respect that. Opinions among very smart people will definitely vary. While I believe that everyone should think for themselves, I also believe that having an open mind goes hand in hand with an opinion. I'm pretty opinionated about certain things, but I am always willing to alter my opinion when I get new information. I view it like trading. When the stock shows you that you are wrong, stubbornness will penalize you dearly. But if you adjust your opinion on the trade to reflect new, conflicting information, be become right. A lot of folks don't seem to see it that way. It's an individual choice for sure. :-)
  • wijimmy: @DAN $FANG $WDAY $GOOGL $MA $COP $WFRD $AMZN $ALSN $SPOK @DAN ..Well said... My opinion is I am here and paying for @DAN -not- @DAN{LITE}..... I get it.. please keep up with your occasional Rants.... I ALWAYS enjoy them...
  • DAN: ...
    $ALSN -- Working. No change.

    $BKR -- Still pulling back, though today could be the day where the bulls make their stand. Stop is down at 35.30, and I'll keep it there for now. But I am inclined to raise it soon -- I just don't want to get stopped ...
  • DAN: @wijimmy $FANG $WDAY $GOOGL $MA $COP $WFRD $AMZN $ALSN $SPOK ;-)
  • Lou: Got bored with $ALSN - out.
  • DAN: ...
    $ALSN -- Still squeezing.
    $AMZN -- Stop hit for small gain. No sense holding this here.
    $COP -- Status quo. New range in progress
    $FANG -- Just like COP. New range. Uptrend still in place.
    $GOOGL -- further retreat from 137 top.
    $MA -- Falling b ...
  • DAN: ...
    $ALSN is working. Still in consolidation, but the 50-day moving average is holding and that Friday high-volume pullback was completely absorbed by buyers yesterday.

    $WDAY is down a bit again today. Reminder that last Friday I suggested closing thi ...
  • Lou: Added to $ALSN
  • bigreek42: $ALSN back and forth
  • Henry: @bigreek42 $ALSN It hit my time stop last week
  • Lou: @bigreek42 $ALSN - would be adding RHRN but for the fact that it trades on very low volume. So a small investment position is OK with me.
  • DAN: ...
    $ALSN -- Flat along 50dma
    $AMZN -- Up from 136 entry. Phase 2 pullback.
    $COP -- Continuing to run.
    $OII -- Good to close for such a big gain. But don’t let this slip under the radar. Watch it next week.
    $FANG -- Still working. Fractional t ...
  • DAN: ...
    $ALSN -- Still forming base. Working through the early Sept selling. Probably resting here for a while.

    $WFRD -- Going higher but reversing a bit today. Running nicely along the upper Bollinger Band, which is what the strongest stocks do. Sugge ...

    $ALSN -- Added today. 59.50 entry. 57.80 stop. High volume penetration of 50dma yesterday. Today up above yesterday’s high.
  • Henry: @DAN $ALSN Answering my own question, no exposure to passenger cars
  • DAN: @Henry $ALSN You'll see more on their home page than I could ever describe. https://www.allisontransmission.com/ When I see tanks on the home page, I have found the golden goose. Because one thing that is undeniable is that the USA absolutely loooves war. End one, start another. And now, with us donating all of our toys to St. Vladimir, business must be booming! On top of that...eGen hybrid solutions for the electric movement. This would be on my list of sure-things. (There is no such thing, but you get the point. The business of war is always a profitable business. There is no such thing as "off season." ;-) (I say this tongue-in-cheek, but every sentiment expressed is sincerely held by me...without the possibility of debate.)
  • Docoof: @Henry $ALSN No, you took up a covert operation: To append unobtrusively the “$” to ALSN. 🕵️‍♂️
  • Henry: @Docoof $ALSN my OCD kicked in
  • DAN: @Henry $ALSN LOL.
  • DrScience: @Henry $ALSN Allison tyranny's are in most all GM HD pickups with the Duramax diesel, and many Class 8 big rigs have sported them for years.
  • bigbartabs: @DrScience $ALSN ... when we were bought by GM back in the 1980s... Allison was a very important GM vendor that we had to ensure our data processing interfaces ran like a Swiss clock. Any data processing outages in the car business are bad... especially affecting assembly lines. But when they additionally affect vendor feeds like Allison... those were not fun days and nights for a data processing staff.
  • fiebs: $ALSN Any thoughts on this stock. Breaking out of a squeeze. Only 750k avg daily volume so not the best liquidity.
  • Henry: @fiebs $ALSN I'd buy it RHRN As you say it's breaking out.
  • DavidK: @fiebs $ALSN insider just sold 50 % of his holdings

  • bigbartabs: @issues $HASI $LADR $MPW $MSI $MTCH $REGN $STOR $TMO $TWTR $ULTA $ALSN $DG $FIVE $HEI $HQY $LULU $PLAY $SUPN ... do you (or anyone else) know if the $FFTY ETF is immediately updated when the IBD 50 list changes? Or is that a trailing change some time later?
  • phgruver: @bigbartabs @issues $HASI $LADR $MPW $MSI $MTCH $REGN $STOR $TMO $TWTR $ULTA $ALSN $DG $FIVE $HEI $HQY $LULU $PLAY $SUPN $FFTY From the $FFTY prospectus: "The Fund generally invests in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to the weightings of the securities in the Index. The Index is rebalanced and reconstituted on the last day of each trading week after the U.S. stock market closes and is published by IBD on its website, www.investors.com, and at least once weekly in its print edition. This weekly rebalancing and reconstituting of the Index will cause the Fund to have a higher portfolio turnover rate than similar funds." So, you may safely infer that rebalancing occurs weekly, but not necessarily on Monday. It may take a day or two.
  • bigbartabs: @phgruver $HASI $LADR $MPW $MSI $MTCH $REGN $STOR $TMO $TWTR $ULTA $ALSN $DG $FIVE $HEI $HQY $LULU $PLAY $SUPN $FFTY ... If its rebalanced each week, that's pretty good response. Apparently then Monday morning is when the $FFTY is most closely aligned with the IBD 50. Thanks... good luck buddy...
  • issues: New on IBD 50 for this week include: $HASI $LADR $MPW $MSI $MTCH $REGN $STOR $TMO $TWTR. Off the IBD 50: $ULTA $ALSN $DG $FIVE $HEI $HQY $LULU $PLAY $SUPN. I know it's all computerized but I have no idea why some are deleted while others are added. Maybe it sorcery? Thank you for this Issues!! You bet' ya!

  • DrScience: @issues $ALSN I think the stock has a better chance of testing the 200 DMA ($44ish) than the 50 DMA ($49ish) RHRN. Bearish wedge forming on declining volume.

  • Gary: ...
    18. $ALSN – needs a LOT more work before this can be a good candidate.

  • debeers: $ALSN-Can't pick a trucking co?? No worries. Pick the co that supplies the transmissions to them.
  • debeers: $ADM/$ALSN/$BA/$BOOT/$CAT/$MTN/$NKE/$STLD/$ZBRA-If you choose the best of class, eventually you'll be ok. Like $ALSN a lot here in this market for this economy where used cars are selling better than new cars. $NKE & $BOOT are both shoe ins for top 10% of all retail stocks.
  • debeers: $ALSN- what i think you want to know: Allison Transmission Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries design and manufacture commercial and defense fully-automatic transmissions. The Company manufactures fully-automatic transmissions for medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, and medium-and heavy-tactical United States defense vehicles. The Company's transmissions are used in a range of applications, including on-highway trucks (distribution, refuse, construction, fire and emergency), buses (primarily school, transit and hybrid-transit), motorhomes, off-highway vehicles and equipment (energy, mining and construction) and defense vehicles (wheeled and tracked). The Company's transmissions are sold under the Allison Transmission brand name and remanufactured transmissions are sold under the ReTran brand name. The Company has developed over 100 different models that were used in more than 2,500 different vehicle configurations and were compatible with over 500 combinations of engines, as of December 31, 2016. Almost a 1:1 Price to book and huge margins.

  • Greendayguy: $ALSN Phase 3 triggered om Friday.
  • champ: $ALK this is still outperforming but Day-5 now....$UAL looks like this might be Day-1 .. $SAVE Day-6 now. $ALSN is also really strong Day-8 but looks like it is going even higher for many positive reasons.....and their are not many sellers...this is really moving up hard and could be a #Strong-Buy...because this sector is on fire now because of the economy....I'm holding positions.
  • BobbyG: @champ $ALK $UAL $SAVE $ALSN #Strong-Buy $ALSN has some exposure to the defense sector via tactical vehicles. Definitely will look at this one, thanks for the post.
  • champ: @BobbyG $ALK $UAL $SAVE $ALSN #Strong-Buy...Yes, good point.... this stock also has strong exposure to the sectors that are working #RHRN...trucking ...and defense Yes, is another positive reason... this name could still be under the radar screen, for many but not all. $$$$ could still be hiding out in this name but only time will tell.

  • issues: @bRobert $R $ODFL $JBHT $YRCW add these to your list of truckers: $MTOR $ALSN $SAIA $DAN $CVTI, ok? If fuel continue to go up these should drop with higher expenses.
  • issues: @JBed $MTOR It's gone up 0% in the past 10 days while the others in the same group are up as follows: $ALSN (12%) $ODFL(8%) $SAIA (5%) $DAN (7%) $JBHT & MTOR both just 1%; $CVTI (0%)
  • issues: @bRobert $SAIA $CAI Thank you Robert. Also in the sector are $ALSN and $ODFL $CVTI & $JBHT. I bought $SAIA but I think $ODFL is the best.
  • issues: Reviewing the posts I compared the trucking stocks. The top 3 were $ODFL $SAIA & $ALSN. The best sector was transportation trucks (IBD group 7 = $SAIA $ODFL $CVTI & $JBHT) compared to Truck parts group 30 ($DAN $ALSN $MTOR...) The best group 7 had $ODFL and $SAIA which had similar 10 day charts. I bought the less expensive SAIA (1/2 the price of ODFL.)

  • ginny: $ALSN trucks and cars need transmissions
  • champ: $BA - $DIS - ALSN - $NAV - $WMT - $DFS - I got back in these companies this morning on the drop. C. Icahn is holding 2.5 m of $NAV ..that he bought around 12/19. My thinking is that the Trucking business should do great in 2015.... anything to do with trucks and parts like $ALSN Allison Transmission should do well. 1/2 size in all positions for now....watching this market. Still looking for direction ...so for now it looks like it's up.....going to play this market one day at a time with $SSO.
  • champ: $NAV and $ALSN working this morning I have positions in both... $PACR working ....I have no position in this stock but I think anything to do with truck will be winners in 2015. Watching $RUSS and going to add a little RHRN on the news out today....this is a 3x short.
  • champ: $AMZN is making a small move up ..so far this morning on the news of 10m new members. I have a position ....watching and hoping to add. I also have been doing research on $ALSN ...a transmission company for Trucks, Buses (school and transit), Off-Highway and Motorhomes. Trucks transmissions are for medium and heavy- duty.....all are for Automatic Transmissions. A real slow mover thats going to take off ..I believe. This could be the start of a great year for this company and all trucks. I got in this morning and hoping to add....this stock should start climbing. They are starting to up grade trucking companies, truck manufactures and suppliers should be next. Check it out.

  • woodman: $TM @beby138 - a lot of the autos look good, or did earlier today. $TM is one I was looking at this morning, as is Japanese competitor HMC. I bought $GNTX today but it's looking a little challenged at the 21 EMA. $F has a nice stair step to it. Others I was looking at were $LEA, $ALSN and BWA. They are more pullback and bounce picks. Others have nice uptrends going such as $MGA, $ACW and AXL. $WGO has a nice channel going, but is firmly in the middle of it. GL.
  • bcsummerfield: $ALSN - starting to break out of a #squeeze on daily chart
  • bcsummerfield: $ALSN - tight #squeeze, roughly 3.5%
  • MSL: $ALSN IPO strat, team dangerously close to all time 25.22, if you can stomach price action holding up today. only thing i dont like today is vol levels.
  • heretic: $ALSN - Allison Transmission Holdings - @DAN's IPO strategy - Not very exciting stock. Good news from auto sales this morning. Established truck parts manufacturer. Nearing the post IPO high "blue sky territory", I'm with FIDO and there was a 15 day lock-up period on this IPO with them, probably with others too. The IPO was on March 15. Might be worth a look for someone that didn't get in on the IPO.
  • heretic: $ALSN - IPO'ed yesterday. I got about 1/10th of my order on the IPO. Added some after it opened. No big pop on the open but this should be attractive based on valuation since it priced at about 10 times this years earnings.
  • onegr8tdesigner: $ALSN - How would @Dan's IPO thesis be applied in this case since there was quite literally almost no pop initially?
  • MSL: $ALSN, IPO green banana, chart not really developed. IMHO
  • heretic: $ALSN - I'm not sure what @DAN would say. For me, If it keeps melting up, it is still in blue sky territory. As long as it keeps going up, there are no regretful buyers. Initial shares with FIDO are restricted, somewhat, because they will tag you with being in violation of their "flipping" policy if you sell within 15 days. Lots of other shares will be restricted too.
  • scgaryinv: $ALSN @heretic I saw your post so I bought some today @$24.33. Thanks for posting something on it. I am in with you to see if it can hold steady and not tank.
