  • Lou: @GOOSE $ET - Still my largest holding. Up in part on news that $CNP disposed of the last 51mil of the ET units it received in the sale of Enable to $ET. With this overhang gone, $ET is deservedly getting the love for the massive cash flow it generates. It has committed to use excess cash flow to retire debt and increase distributions. The expectation is that by some time in 2023 the current 70 cent annual distribution will be increased, in increments, to the old $1.21/per annum.

  • scottrades: $CNP creeping above recent resistance. Needs volume.
  • scottrades: Some ideas I talked about last night are working. $JPM $C $TD and $CNP $FE but the low daily volume isn't inspiring.

  • Bridget: Price alert on $CNP. Dan covered this in the sector spotlight over the weekend. A nice high yielding stock that seems to be "done going down".
  • issues: Possible LTH buys today include $PAYC (break out) $ULTA $MBLY $KITE $LULU $AHS $KITE $CNP
  • dunsek: #PickYourBottom not much of interest showing up on the 'within 7% of 52 week low and now crossing the 8ema' scan, though there is $HCP $CNP and $XRX. $CNP has the added advantage of whaty looks like an identifiable bottom, and being in the energy sector. My other favorite scan which has produced a few winners is the crossing the 8ema and PSAR flipping to positive. On that one, we see $BBBY $TE and $HBI $HBI might be interesting. If you flip over to the weekly, that's a decent looking chart. Needs to hold the 20 week avg though.
  • bullmoose: $CNP - I mentioned this stock a couple days ago. It was a top stock for the rest of 2014 by one of the big firms. It's popping today. Bouncing off the 40-week average. It's not a fast mover so I played it with calls.
  • bullmoose: $CNP - Got an upgrade and a had a big spike up a few minutes ago. that didn't hold. Watch it.

  • woodman: CONFUSED - add utilities/XLU to the working sectors. On TC2000, look at the Diversified Utilities subgroup (of main group Utilities). Check out those charts. Awesome. And they keep going up for the most part. Look at the likes of $NI, $OTTR, $VVC, $UGI, $EXC, $UTL PEG, $CNP, $NU, $ALE, $NWE, $PNM, $WR, $AVA, CHC. I'm targeting/stalking some of these. I did enter $OTTR on this pullback and bounce off the 50 day, only b/c I like buying uptrending stocks on pullbacks to support. Many others, however, have charts that make you say how do I buy it now, which you could have said a week ago, a month ago and 3 or 4 months ago.

  • eTradeBaby: $CNP, $JPM has the potential to be a game changer, whatever you saw before the close today, may not be relevant now. At the beginning of the week, I thought I was the last bull standing, now There may be none. This is really terrible outcome, no way to sugar coat this.

  • rcline: Volatility #Squeeze Watchlist and what it is telling me I have been tracking volatility squeezes, monitoring them through phases 1-3 and looking for candidates to buy. Recently strong trends have emerged in my watchlist. Of the current 51 stocks that I am either invested in or tracking here are the big sectors: #REITS (11 stocks or 21.6%): $ACC, $AIV, $AVB, $CLP, $CPT, $EQR, $HIW, $LXP, $MAC, $MPW, $UDR Food (7 stocks or 13.7%): $DPS, $GIS, $K, $MJN, $SAFM, $SJM, $UL Utilities (6 stocks or 11.8%): $AWK, $CNP, $EIX, $NRG, $OGE, $WR Not clear whether the market is being defensive or just the normal early cycle candidates. I was surprised by the number of #REITS. I suppose folks want to chase yield. In any case I throw these up for consideration. Cheers, @Ray

  • mledford: During my scans for potential breakouts and volatility squeezes, I noticed a stock that shot up exponentially Friday, but has yet to announce earnings until Tues, May 5th. What gives? What's so special about this stock and why the sudden interest? The volume was nearly 7 times the average of 280K. The stock is $BZ (Boise, Inc.). I might collect a small position with an extremely tight stop. Others I'm watching after reviewing the charts: $CNP, $PQ, FPL, $FE, $CQB, FCL, $TEG, $MOO, RJA, $DIM, $JRCC & FSIN. Happy Trading and gratz to all who made some coin on PCX! -@Mike

  • Russ: Sizzle, thanks for the $EXC reminder. I just clicked through some diversified utilities and found these charts interesting at first glance: $EXC, $PEG, $PCG, $ED, $WEC, $CNP, DPL, $UGI, $NWE, $CHG, $NVE, $CMS The $XLU is range-bound between 28 - 30, held down (I guess) by some laggards like SO. Time to do some homework. Russ
  • harveyrd: @Dan, First of all, thanks for the very informative video on utilities yesterday, it was very helpful. Question, during your discussion on $AAPL, you stated that symetrical triangles tend to breakout in the direction of the trend. In the case of $FE, which appears to be forming a symetrical triangle, the long term trend is down but the short term trend appears to be up. Would we expect the breakout to follow the long term down trend or the short term up trend? Ron P.S. I bought $CNP at 12 today based on the discussion yesterday and continued support at the 20MA.
