  • CrazyTrain: $HRB daily chart showing PB from ATH to 8 the EMA and tight consolidation around that average after a monster move on last earning report. Solid uptrend finally came back to buy point
  • CrazyTrain: @Scottrades Best 2 days day in weeks.... Concentrated in $ON $AEHR $CELH $HRB and $XBI also a little $TAN all 1/4 position trades, allowing 21 EMA to hold me in the trades..
  • scottrades: @CrazyTrain $ON $AEHR $CELH $HRB $XBI $TAN You're doing great!! Love that success.
  • CrazyTrain: @scottrades $HRB, PB and bounce off 8 EMA. Folks this level has acted as a great guard rail since June,
  • CrazyTrain: @woodman $HRB I missed the breakout and looked at recent momentum (understatement)... I bought 8/11 on its down day and and moved my stop to low of that day around $44..Take a look
  • woodman: @CrazyTrain $HRB - Wow, en fuego. Nice job.
  • CrazyTrain: @woodman $HRB needed a translator for that comment... You're a worldly man Woodman
  • CrazyTrain: @woodman $HRB stock is nutz, maybe its all the new IRS budget that is fulling it.. Seems like the kind of stock you by on at PB and bounce of the 8 Day EMA and just use a trailing stop at the the low of the previous day
  • debeers: @CrazyTrain $HRB -very nice job--especially if you are in the middle or lower classes and cannot afford expensive people to keep the IRS away.
  • CrazyTrain: $HRB who would have ever thought an accounting service firm would pop like this??? Anyone?
  • debeers: @CrazyTrain $HRB -Remember, the IRS is going to go after taxpayers. $HRB should benefit bigtime as most will be afraid to do their own.
  • CrazyTrain: @debeers $HRB Hmmmm, never thought of that....

  • Forexpro: Re: $HRB Hi, Friends, I posted this almost a year ago (Aug 3) as part of a scan roster, and I'll admit that I lost track of it and ended up purchasing nary a share. In any case, I wouldn't have held it through the couple of subsequent dips; the time to buy it was actually in late Jan of this year. Since then, it's been going great guns, and I've been moving alert levels steadily higher, chasing the price, without ever getting a bell or a fill on an order. Not interested at current levels, although it has demonstrated that it has absolutely no problem moving higher without me. If for whatever reason it retraces to 34 or thereabouts I'll start taking a more careful look. All the best!
  • champ: $HRB...HOD-L.

  • Forexpro: Re: $HRB Hi, Friends, This one started the day well, and quickly stalled. I'm out of my starter for a net loss of 2.6 percent. Survivable. Just a poor pick, and a spontaneous, carefree entry. "Stupid" would be another descriptor. Hope your day is off to an excellent start; all the best!

  • DrScience: $HRB down 10% after Goldman says to Sell! Sell! Sell! Guess they're doing their own taxes over there at $GS. Who knows? No telling, but they might be using Intuit's Quickbooks and TurboTax. Since the shift to a subscription model, $INTU's offerings and results have helped the stock double in the last 3 years, and the 33% divvy increase hasn't hurt one tiny bit. RHRN, stock is moving above $215 resistance on a weekly MACD cross higher and PPS Buy Signal. I wouldn't expect a run to the $230 highs ahead of Q4 earnings, but holding the stock has been rewarding investors with a move higher into May's Q1 release.

  • DrScience: $HRB Taxes on a postcard? Nyet! However, JAN 28 Covered Call @ 27.25ish (30 DTE) offers a 30% annualized return that you can roll for months, especially if the stock pulls back to the 200 DMA. Next earnings is tentatively set for the first week of March.

  • Bridget: @tejas7 $EXPR Nice. I'm watching $HRB do the same thing.
  • tejas7: @Bridget $HRB Ex-div date is on 9/12 (pays 0.20 around 4% yield). It may run few more days.
  • tejas7: $KMI Working as it has been. I had only one stop for whole position until now.  Splitting the position in 3. One stop at 21.15 for 40% of position, 10 day MA Another at 21.50 for another 40% position. (8EMA). STO Nov 23 calls to cover rest of the 20% stocks at 0.61. Brings cost basis down to 19.50 for them. $HMSY Stopped out at 22.49 (huge profit, in at 13 something) $HRB voluntary out at small loss. Out of few other small positions too.
  • Bridget: $HRB breaking out, RHRN
  • tejas7: @Bridget $HRB No news breakout out of tight squeeze, with 80% of average daily volume already traded in 35 minutes. It went back in the congestion for a moment and now going back up again. Earnings date not announced, but may be around Sept 9th based on last quarter date. So still some 20+ days away. I like this one the most. I am in with yesterday's low as a stop.

  • Poppy: OT: $INTU vs. $HRB Tax software broohaha: Turbo tax is screwing the pooch this year...they are forcing customers to buy the Premium version by not including/supporting their usual features in the common version they did for the past umpteen years, like Sched. C & D - my lifeblood. The VP and public relation answers were that 'those are only a very small number of customers'. I get it. I'm not important... I'm switching to H&R Block. This news and fury came out 3 days ago and look at the stock price. The Time and NYT plus Forbes have reported this issue. Just search google for Turbo tax. I do my own taxes and have depended on INTU for so many years..sayonara suckers. May be time to short INTU and long HRB. Just sayin''' mad and hell poppy

  • Forexpro: Re: Favorite Hedgie Longs Hi, Friends, And, on the bullish side of the divide, again from $GS via SeekingAlpha: The 20 most concentrated hedge fund holdings as defined by the percent of equity cap owned by the funds has consistently been a significant outperformer, according to Goldman. In order: $AN, $STZ, $JCP, $FDO, $THC, $HRB, $BEAM, $MU, $NWSA, $VRSN, $CBG, $NFLX, $GT, $TSO, $ETFC, $MSI, $WPX, $WYN, $HES, CCI. However, please note: Overall, the studied hedge funds' performance leaves a bit to be desired, with average return of 6% YTD. Fewer than 5% outperformed the S&P 500, and 20% of funds posted an absolute loss. We can do better than that without paying 2/20, can't we? All the best.

  • rcline: Barron' s had an article today about stocks that have increased their earnings over the last 10 years 2-5x while their stock prices have declined over that same period. The table below lists many of these stocks and looks at what the profit would be if they return to their 50-day or 200-day moving average. These are all solid companies and should return to the 200-day moving average at some point. Not all are necessarily #RHRN buys, but many are close to their August lows. I thought I would post these for group discussion and feedback. Just trying to get a decent shopping list ready if we get stability on this current bottoming period.

  • dunsek: #RHRN- My short list of possible outperformers is $PKI, $EMC, $DHR, $CMCSA, $CINF, $SE, $EMR, $PBCT and GPC. Of those, I kind of like the contrarian play, so going long the #financials via PBCT. Yes, it is penalty box, so not sure if that meets your creme de la creme definition, but there you go. I also like $CINF and $GPC #RHRN, the others may need just a bit of watching. All the usual caveats apply- do your own top down and sector analysis, etc etc etc! Oh yeah- and though it didn't meet the mutli criteria for the above sort, I still like $HRB which I started a small position in yesterday and still think the coal trade (PCX, ICO) has legs for a while yet.

  • dunsek: $HRB, $COST, $TJX, $HAS, $MAT

    Lots of interesting stuff to watch today. For the fans of @Dan's scans (say that 8 times fast), you'll have noticed the recent surge in stocks going into volatility squeezes. There was a week or longer period where I ...
  • dunsek: HRB- good morning all. As far as my scans go, the usual suspects that have been working- the MI, $RF and EK's of the world- continue to bear watching, and not much new with the possible exception of HRB.

    $HRB was a nice entry at 15.50 in June, a ...
  • dunsek: $POT, $HOG, $HERO, $AXL, $HRB Things I'm watching

    POT- sure looks like the pullback to the 20 day was a gift. I'm on board with a starter position

    HOG- watching this one off the first 15 minutes. Yesterday's volume blowoff looks like a real opp ...
  • dunsek: Good morning, all. I hope @Dan is enjoying the graduation festivities up in Oregon! A few things worth pointing out- $XRAY, one of the stocks @Dan covered a few weeks back, is in a volatility #squeeze. It closed just under the 200 day yesterday, but the 200, 10 and 20 are at the same basic point. The Death trade- $MO and $RAI are both in squeezes The Taxes trade- $HRB continues to work for me. Looking good on 2 alternate @charting methods, and looking good on a Bollinger Band expansion basis. The Cereal trade- $K and $GIS are both in squeezes. Not related to death or taxes, but who doesn't love a nice bowl of cereal? Have a great weekend! (Edit- Curses.. got the dates wrong. Sorry about that)
  • dunsek: $AKAM, $SWKS, $HRB Morning all- looking for a pullback to the 10 day on both $AKAM and $SWKS for re-entry, all the while wishing my trigger finger hadn't been so itchy on the getting out from AKAM. I'll chalk that one up to attempting to trend trade while not really having been comfy with my entry point. On the "you've got to be kidding me, that stock?" side of things, I am looking very, very closey at HRB. That's one stock which did not participate at all in the March lows. It has been a sell since the middle of Feb, but looks to be finally turning the corner. Not here, not now, but probably a bit higher and soon!
  • theturkeybone: Hey @Bob, Cant talk much (busy this morning and sadly not with stocks and research), but basically it was set as "3 std devs. contain 99% of the price movement, so a price that far out only has a 1% chance of remaining out there", and it works on both sides. I think it was more of a time to sell than a #shorting technique, but could be used to get into a position in a short term frame.. look at say $GS when BSC happened.. 140 was waaay out of the 3rd deviation. Or more recently, look at $HRB on Friday and the snapback on Monday.
  • theturkeybone: $OIL -- You know, with politicans and saudis and such trying to find the holy grail to deflate the oil bubble.. I can only think of this, with oil taunting us. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V7zbWNznbs For all the talk that's going on, I don't see anything but saturation (in the media, which is almost happening but could go further) or capitulation (which we're only maybe starting to see) to pop this. edit: to add some fuel to the "3rd $SD fire".. $HRB opened outside the 3rd $SD but pulled in for a decent snapback.
  • DAN: @Bob, I'm not trying to be vague, but I am talking about the concept of avoiding chasing stocks that are so obviously overbought that the only thing to say about them is: "Well, I missed that trade." But here are some tickers that might demonstrate what I'm talking about: FRE, FNM, CFC, CTX, $PHM, $JPM, $MBI, $MS, $LEN, $HRB, $WM, $DHI, $CBG, $C, CC, $BAC, $GGP, LEH, $KBH, LIZ, $DRI, $KIM, and WB. That's a decent list of stocks that illustrate my point. OThers are $KEX, $BLK, $ISRG, $CNQR, $VRTX, $EBAY, $SHLD, $LVLT, $EXPD and $PCLN (though $PCLN does look compelling if it has more time to consolidate). Hope that helps.
