  • Rockstar: ...
    The market had the $IWM, and the $DIA, but those indices have been struggling over the last three weeks. This last week is a week to be careful. Still no oversize positions and this is still a traders market, not a swing market. I am still looking a ...
  • Motorman: $ILMN Back to 2020 Covid low on CFO departure. Turns out he is going to Quest $DGX NP...but watching for green shoots. .
  • woodman: Some pullback bouncers: $AVTR $HOLX $ZS $TENB $U $DGX $LH $REGN $SWCH $DHR $CNC $TTD $RNR $TMO $ZNTL $DDOG $PZZA $ANET $QDEL
  • Pokersmith: @woodman $AVTR $HOLX $ZS $TENB $U $DGX $LH $REGN $SWCH $DHR $CNC $TTD $RNR $TMO $ZNTL $DDOG $PZZA $ANET $QDEL compelling list, thx
  • woodman: @Pokersmith $AVTR $HOLX $ZS $TENB $U $DGX $LH $REGN $SWCH $DHR $CNC $TTD $RNR $TMO $ZNTL $DDOG $PZZA $ANET $QDEL - Perhaps a couple nuggets in that pan.
  • Roadrunner: @marklpearson $CODX may be in tandem with $DGX who beat expectations on ER
  • Explorer: @Scottrades -- Stocks with three day runs up -- ?how to get on the escalator? or find others that have not moved? -- $VIVO $AEP $OSK $REGN $DGX --
  • scottrades: @Explorer $VIVO $AEP $OSK $REGN $DGX Hi Explorer. All of these charts look completely different. I like to trade the same patterns over and over so I know what a stock should do and how I need to react it does something differently.
  • Explorer: @scottrades $VIVO $AEP $OSK $REGN $DGX -- Like the second derivative -- take a closer / Second look over time -- Thank You
  • scottrades: @Explorer $VIVO $AEP $OSK $REGN $DGX Th best advice I can give is if you like these stocks, wait for them to setup in a pattern that you've seen play out in the past. Then you don't even need to think about what to do, you just react to it.
  • Explorer: $FLGT $CODX $CEMI $DGX $HOLX $LH $BIO $NVTA -- Bio Tech / Pharma Pops
  • JosephM: $DGX...52 week high, tight...good volume, nice base....what else are we looking for again?
  • Joshuajab: $dgx nice weekly
  • Explorer: @bRobert $TMO $ILMN $LABU $FDX --- $DGX Same Sector Same Shaped Performance -- 2/1/21 reporting -- you follow?
  • Angdionk: $DGX sitting just below downward trendline
  • lostsheep: $DGX I've seen this posted by a few times and came up in a scan 2x inside days. Will open above the high last 3 bars In a tight pinch near 50,20,8 etc... Raised both rev and eps guidance this am well above estimates. Not sure what is priced in due to covid or with vaccines what impact it will have going forward but potential pop here with nice defined risk parameters. I don't see that they announced they were making electric cars or mining bitcoin so I can't guarantee a blowout. ;-)
  • gt: @lostsheep $DGX awww i was hoping for a money back guarantee ;)
  • Angdionk: $DGX been trading tight in a 4%BB squeeze and at 50dma
  • Babutters: @Angdionk $DGX BO from flag would indicate $11 move to 135.
  • Kharrison67: $DGX well that did not go as planned? Fake break?
  • Angdionk: $DGX has been squeezing trying to pop out of downward trendline not great volume
  • Angdionk: $DGX trying to break out low volume
  • Kckc: @scotttrades, Did you notice $DGX? Do you think this is a decent entry for swing, if it starts an intraday uptrend? I did not get in at the morning BO. Thanks
  • scottrades: @Kckc $DGX I did get the alert but there wasn't any volume behind the move and it faded after the first 10 mins so I didn't post about it. I think you leave it alone right now and watch to see how it closes.
  • scottrades: My video notes: $SPY Closing below the 8EMA. $QQQ Sideways all week. $GBTC To the moon! $ETHE Also to the moon! $TSLA Coming back into the Bbands. $CRSR Slowly scaling out. $SQ Close to the highs, bought once, added small. $CRWD Running into some resistance but working fine. $GME Sold the last of my shares. Would like to see a Pullback to support or a move up on volume. $SNAP Strong close. $Z Nice move over 110. $PYPL Grinding around the 50 Day. Watch. $AMD Stopped at the slope, watch for some Daily volume. $BSY Newer IPO. Watch 36.30 $DGX Good volume above a base. $EXPI Nice move, great volume. $FVRR Close to ATH $LUNG Recent IPO getting tight. $SSTK Grinding Sideways and getting tight. Have a great weekend!

  • Herb:
  • champ: $ABT, this Rapid-tester, that has all of those that 5-minute test machine, sales, will be reporting earnings in the morning...7/16/confirmed, watch the close, for more direction-guesses. .....$LH and $DGX...checkout both of these testers, they will also be in play. All stocks zig-zag, they all know how to dance around, in the right direction. Traders will find out in the morning,...today is, set-up day.

  • champ: $LH, $DGX...HOD, still climbing, take a look and now $ABT is also positive. The future is going to be all about #Testing-and-more-Testing, over and over.
  • champ: @wildcatweb $CODX --- I'm also holding $ABT $LH $DGX...and waiting,...and I'm in No-hurry, remember the hope is, traders/investors get rewarded for waiting.
  • champ: $DGX $LH $ABT, starting to get a little new movement in these #Testing stocks. Testing will be around for a long time, probably for years. Everyone will have one of these Lab test, along with all of their other routine Lab-work, at some point down the road. .......$DGX, #Quest-Diagnostics, has a test now for the Public, that cost $119.00, that anyone can have now. Everyone would like to have an Antibody-Blood test. On Fox News, they showed a reported that was a walk-in and was in line for that test. I'm going to get one.
  • dylanhummel: @champ $DGX $LH $ABT #Testing #Quest-Diagnostics I took that antibody test last Thursday, took less than a minute and got my results back today, well worth it.

  • sniper: @champ $CLX $DGX $LH $ABT #Quest-Diagnostics #Antibody #Back-to-Work thanks
  • champ: @sniper $CLX $DGX $LH $ABT #Quest-Diagnostics #Antibody #Back-to-Work --- YW but always remember, everything dances around, in this type of market, much more than normal and small size can also work, for starter positions...and always be-aware of the earnings dates. Plus always watch for entry timing opportunities...many times take profits and then add-back. Time-Frame is also very important, to catch better add-on entries, on the investors small starter position, because timing is always really hard. LOL
  • gwenzee: $DGX Goes ex-dividend tomorrow. .56 /share. Payable April21. Must own stock before April 6 in order to receive the dividend. In other words, tomorrow is too late. As to their testing: yes. it still takes 4-5 days to get the results. Too long in many, including my, opinions. But, they have reduced the load by 28% which is a good thing.
  • debeers: @jr3345 #OffTopic -Best of luck. I expect that either $DGX or $LH should be watched on Monday. As to whay the Market was UP in the last hour----had entirely to do with Rozengren and nothing to do with your stocks. Fed will be trying, with selected purchases, to be cushioning the blows as best it can. As far as the Market goes---i have no idea what to expect Monday and neither does anyone else. Sure looks to me like we get another negative day at least at the open because the virus is spreading here and we are about 6 months away from vaccine according to $GILD and $MRNA and $REGN.
  • jr3345: @debeers $DGX $LH #OffTopic -Test came back negative & ship received clearance late last night. Traveling back to South Florida today. We were told very little & I don't know which company or gov't agency ran the test.
  • debeers: @jr3345 $DGX $LH #OffTopic ---So very glad you are safe. Keep the hand sanizer wipes with you and don't touch your face. Your house is going to look really good to you and your wife. Just glad you are making it back ok!
  • kycol: @jr3345 $DGX $LH #OffTopic Great News! Home is going to look great! I bet it's a while before you sign up for another cruise...Me too!
  • Mikev200: $DGX Quest Diagnostics to launch COVID-19 test service
  • Mikev200: $DGX @scottrades DGX working Thx!
  • scottrades: $DGX Squeezing on good volume.
  • scottrades: My notes for today: $SPY Nice bounce, weak into the close. $QQQ Ditto $GDX Holding above 29 $NUGT Holding at the Middle Bband $FNV Possible pullback entry today. $KL Still in Jail. Support at the 200 Day $NEM Strong Weekly uptrend $AUY Weekly Squeeze, still have it $GOLD Weekly Squeeze, higher low today. $AEM Nice move at the open and then a fade, but still a higher low. $KGC Nice volume into the close. $SSRM Looks like the rest, higher low. $SVM Weekly higher lows. Good Squeezes are hard to come by in this mess. But consider looking at: $DGX Earnings Thursday. $CMTL Trades thin. $RCKT Biotech (Risky). Sitting on the 50 Day. 16 Days of Short Interest. $UFI Trying to move out of a Squeeze. Watch above 27.
