  • Carpe_Diem: $BSX - The gift that keeps on giving. I have been long for a very long time - Boring (See Chart) This looks to be breaking out .... As it does every so often.
  • Sher: $BSX - Nice reversal (day 1 of phase 3) after recent PB to the 50-day - Long Sept. $44 calls, which are up nicely (112%), today - 12 analysts have them as a "strong buy". $MDT (reported this morning and beat on both earnings & revenues) has 17 strong buys, currently - Chart looks just like $BSX's - Both are going much higher... little to no resistance above for either.

  • Bridget: $BSX at the top of the range once again. Will it break out this time. So far not a lot of volume.
  • jthomas575: @Bridget $BSX Thx Bridget, took a position @ 43.65 based on the volume and break out above 43.6
  • Bridget: $BSX looking close to breaking out to the upside from this squeeze. 50dMA has cauught up
  • bRobert: @Bridget $BSX Long and patient .
  • CraigReynolds: @Bridget $BSX Was looking at BO $43.50 to buy. Just afraid to enter until it breaks out. What is your BO level. Just missed lower entries, the way market is performing, kind of worried..
  • Bridget: @CraigReynolds $BSX I don't want to buy on the breakout, I want to buy near the mean. I started a small position this morning. Using lower BB as the stop. If you buy on the breakout, at $43.50, then use the midpoint of the squeeze as your stop.
  • CraigReynolds: @Bridget $BSX Thanks
  • bRobert: @CraigReynolds $BSX I don't buy breakouts. I prefer to buy closer to support . Start as a swing trade . Consider partials at top of range. Add on pullback bounces after a confirmed breakout . OR . wait for the breakout. Look for the retest/phase 2 . Buy the phase 3 bounce . Breakout is confirmed
  • CraigReynolds: @bRobert $BSX Thanks, understand. You have explained this time and again and makes so much since. It is getting into my mind set. Trying for good entries, and in past when I asked Dan about entry, he has always told me I should nave waited for break out of box. Just seems I do not buy at good entries, yes hindsight is a good educator. At entries, I do set stops. All my entries are small no matter what. Buy small on pull back to mean, add with box breakout---.Thanks again
  • bRobert: @CraigReynolds $BSX I buy the bottom of the box and add on the pullback above the top of the box/prior trading range. They all work as long as you define risk to limit losses. Buying the bounce off bottom of the box gets you involved in a low risk swing trade. to start. I don't assume it will break out. I take partials at the top of the range and tighten up my stop on the remainder . If it breaks out, I'm involved with profits from a low cost entry. If it pulls back , I'm stopped out with profits
  • Robert1965: @Bridget $BSX for stop at LBB what chart are you using the daily at 5min
  • Bridget: @Robert1965 $BSX daily
  • Sluggo: @bRobert $BSX Why are you buying when it is still in consolidation? I see it is riding the intertwined 8MA and 20MA. I do this once in a while if the fundies are dynamite, but I normally wait for the breakout.
  • Sluggo: $BSX @bRobert I do see that this is a VERY low risk trade while waiting for it to pop. The risk is well defined within $1. OK....
  • spmeyers: @CraigReynolds $BSX "Pullback trading" is generally recognized as lower risk than "breakout trading". But it's also true that some of the great traders (Minervini, O'Neil)-- as well as Dan -- wait for breakouts that meet certain criteria (when market conditions are supportive). There are various approaches to adding to a pullback position. Dan has a good video specifically on this type of setup (he doesn't call it 'pullback', I forget his term) -- I think the video title is "my two favorite setups" or something like that
  • spmeyers: @bRobert $BSX so you don't add when/if phase 3 achieves a new breakout? I think adding then is the conventional wisdom.
  • bRobert: $bsx. Set up. Long
  • bRobert: $SYK . poking out . $ZBH . nh . $BSX . nice base . set up $EW . High base . following earnings pop . Very strong. Easier to hold . Partial left
  • bRobert: $BCO . Quickly recouping $100 target $ZBH . $SYK . $JYNT .(reports tonight) Joints . are smoking $MASI $MDT . $BSX . Steady holds . $ISRG . coming back .
  • bRobert: $SYK $MDT $BSX $MASI Quality med devices $TLT Trailing stops up $MCD $SBUX Slept through the pullback
  • BocaRick: $BSX down 2.4% but 20MA is holding so far. placed stop below 42.
  • bsnceo: @jwstich $LABU $BX $IBB - should have said $BSX
  • bigbartabs: @Robert1965 $ANTM $BSX $CI $HCA $THC $UHS $UNH $WVE $PCMI … Small Cap $RUT $IWM getting killed today due to healthcare. Really feeling the Bern.
  • millcreek: $BSX shorted at $37.70. Still going down
  • Kasey: $ANTM, $BSX, $CI, $HCA, HUM, $THC, $UHS, $UNH, $WVE, All these (and more) HEALTHCARE stocks hit bottom 3rd Bollinger Band this afternon. Also $PCMI (I.T. sector).

  • bRobert: @kt4000 $EW Great company. The addressable market for TAVR is growing rapidly. There will be more competition from $MDT $BSX but there is more than enough to go around. They are the one to beat.
  • scottrades: $BSX hit a new 52 Week High on Friday. No Weekly Higher Low has been set but there is some good support on the daily chart.
  • bRobert: @scottrades $BSX I"m an owner. Also like $MDT $100+ $ABMD Very high targets from reversal pattern in motion $400/$420 WEEKLY MACD cross, $ISRG , $TDOC $EXAS $IBB and company. Takeover talk will be another catalyst eg $ONCE $INSP set up. Conference 2/28 could be the the little push needed for a breakout and run to $75
  • bRobert: $BSX Long term hold with upside to $45+ with confirmed breakout $MDT Clear set up $98 ..........$100 with bullish move . Easy to enter with move >90 then stop just below 50d
  • bRobert: $PODD . Bullish set up to watch. $TDOC .$TNDM $EW $INSP . $MDT . tight consolidation $BSX . Not done . Owner from below. Partial profits . As mentioned earlier. Medical devices are working. and setting up for more. Many others also $XYK $ZBH .
  • bRobert: $BSX . Earnings pop..Top of range. Could go higher with consolidation $MDT . low risk/high reward with stop $100
  • bRobert: $BSX . not a buy day but the WEEKLY is bullish with a $44 + .target.

    $BSX – high volume breakout is bullish, but trades very sloppy.

    $LLY – worth watching. Not actionable right now.

  • Sher: @DAN $PFE - I actually like $PFE here... Posted the following last Fri.: "$BSX, $PFE - Added new call positions - $BSX has retraced 50% in 3 days from it's deep-water dive, Nov. 20th.; $PFE - Seeing a hammer candlestick, today, and short-term double bottom in the making." My $PFE call position is up 27%, today - $BSX has now retraced about 55% - Thanks...

  • JJT1: $WMT $PBH $ADTN $MOS $CF $BSX Looking for stocks that are consolidating with 50 day SMA rising through BB $WMT $PBH or have been in uptrend and pulled back to 50 day for support $BSX $CF $MOS $ADTN
  • issues: $VIX high was at 19.86. When and if it hits 20 the bottom is near. I don't like getting stopped out at the bottom. I pulled a few of my stops. I will wait it out and buy when the day turns green, perhaps tomorrow!! Getting stopped out at a loss means I won't buy back for a month to avoid the wash sale rule. Stopped out of some very good stocks: $MSFT $UNP $EW $SQ $AMD $DDS $PRAH $TXMD $BSX Ironically $JWN is up on a terrible day!
  • steve71: @issues $VIX $MSFT $UNP $EW $SQ $AMD $DDS $PRAH $TXMD $BSX $JWN Interesting that $DDS is weathering the storm, today anyway. Could be buybacks. "Lesser shares buybacks due to soft cash flows are a concern. As of Aug 4 still has $497M of buyback authorization remaining under March 2018 program."- Zacks from mid-August.
  • Sluggo: $BSX $MDT $VNOM $CRM $MSFT $V My current portfolio that is left after the 2 day downdraft. Sold gradually some positions before this happened, keeping the ones that are working. $BSX is a buyout candidate from $JNJ, $MDT just bought $MZOR which widens their products and scope, $VNOM is the baby brother of $FANG in the Permian basin with great stats, $CRM is a stalwart, $MSFT and $V.
  • bRobert: @Sluggo $BSX $MDT $VNOM $CRM $MSFT $V $JNJ $MZOR $FANG Very nice and succinctly put. Long many. FANG A confirmed WEEKLY range breakout will take this to $160+
  • Sluggo: @bRobert $BSX $MDT $VNOM $CRM $MSFT $V $JNJ $MZOR $FANG I try to keep people's attention (sesame street style) to a minimum. I figure you should be able to tell someone in one sentence why you own a particular stock.
  • bRobert: @Sluggo $BSX $MDT $VNOM $CRM $MSFT $V $JNJ $MZOR $FANG The simple approach is often the most effective. Especially if it fits in a tweet.
  • Sluggo: @bRobert $BSX $MDT $VNOM $CRM $MSFT $V $JNJ $MZOR $FANG It all comes to me by being a sales rep for 42 years. I figure sitting across from a customer, that is you cant make your point in 1 minute, his or hers mind wanders :)
  • Sluggo: @bRobert $BSX $MDT $VNOM $CRM $MSFT $V $JNJ $MZOR $FANG Top of the range on $FANG takes us to $137. If it transcends that triple top, than I would be interested. $VNOM seems a lot easier to guage at this point.
  • issues: @bRobert $AAPL There was an article today about what stock mutual funds are buying. The article mentioned $CVS $UNP $BIIB $ROST $ABT $HCA $ABMD but did not mention $AAPL In the $200 million club was $BA $TMO $BSX $UAL but not $AAPL!

Several others treaded water after nice runs. eg $CI $CNC $ANTM . $TMO . $GOOGL $ACIA No cannabis stocks listed Several themes represented here should continue to work .
