- scottrades: $RDN Moving on good volume.
- Cokeman1959: $RDN - Been watching this for a breakout above $26, but the weekly chart looks pretty extended.
- scottrades: $RDN Trying to break out of a multi month base. You'd want a stop at LOD because if it fails it might fall back to test the 50 Day, which it has done in the past.

$RDN Broke out of a multi Month base. Short Term Support at 24.10
$KEYS Locked and loaded, new weekly high.

DAN: ...
$RDN -- Bottom of base $23. Still forming bottom of base.
$RCII -- still squeezing. TBP -- 26.72
$PFPT -- great move this morning...but no follow through.
$LAD -- Looked better yesterday...but this is why you start very small, with stops.
$AUDC - ... - Brian_M: $RDN is starting to move a bit today. Nice squeeze going back to August near the 50 day and 200 day is also nearby.
- gee: $MTG, $RDN both in financial sector, mortgage insurance. Both have been advancing. Long both for a while. May want to add them to a watch list.
- steve71: $GLW $WYNN $JWN $FND $RDN $AMZN $HIG Earnings season is kind of fun. There are always some "Sell the News." stocks which get oversold. My approach is kind of 3 Day Rule, but really just initiate when they start to recover. My list so far is $GLW $WYNN $JWN. Have started some money in Nordstrom which is holding up well even now. Waiting for several more after the bell.
- Raos: @DAN @Bridget is the $RDN earnings miss, giving us an opportunity to get into $ESNT? . which reports on 5/3
- issues: @Raos $RDN $ESNT I sold RDN!
- issues: @Stuart Yes thanks Stuart we hold 1/2 position in both $RDN & $ESNT. Dan did an excellent job on ESNT this weekend. Very compelling. We added with his presentation.
- woodman: $RDN @steve71 - looks good.
- woodman: @issues $RDN $GNW $MITT - you're welcome re $GNW (moving up thru resistance today, as it so happens). I hope $RDN works for you!
- issues: Thank you Steve for mentioning $RDN. We bought a hundred. We had been watching $RDN since it's been an IBD 50 stock and your reminder helped us pull the trigger. RDN has a great IBD rating of 92 composite, B- accumulation. Thank you Woodman for mentioning $GNW, it's too volatile for us right now but a good choice I am sure. Thanks to you Dana for mentioning $MITT, we bought the starter 100 also. Great tips! Thanks folks!
- steve71: $RDN I like Radian, rising off the 50 dma. Earnings 1/26 were good. The stock had a little run, followed by profit taking on no news. PPS is a double since July. The chart looks better than rival $MBI. Radian does mortgage insurance and servicing.
- woodman: @steve71 I was looking at $RDN this morning too, along with $GNW. I like RDN, but bought some GNW instead.
- steve71: @woodman $RDN $GNW Genworth does look good. Kind of cup and handley, with higher highs and higher lows.
- stevef214: @steve71 $RDN $MBI I look at $RDN also this morning. It cam up on a uptrend and oversold screen. I had this stock years ago and remember the yld being much higher. It does look like a low risk entry point though.
- steve71: $RDN Mortgage insurance and servicing. Radian has been running since June. Recent earnings were good. Dividend de minimis.
- tjv821: $asix and $rdn are both working
- issues: @Rasta I will have to ask IBD, ok? I will need some sort of remuneration from you, right? Ok ok, just kidding. Don't tell IBD but here it is: $NVDA $UBNT $EVR $THO $HQY $TREX $ANET $IDCC $CPE $BOFI $AEIS $CFG $ESNT $EXP $VEEV $WAL $PRI $AMAT $SIVB $PLAY $SCHW $STMP $GRUB $FCB $HOMB $STL $MS $CGNX $MSCC $GATX $CRTO $COMM $OZRK $MXL $NTES $UTHR $GIMO $MPWR $GNTX $FRC $RDN $MASI $ALGN $JCOM $WNC $MBFI $GS $CARB $MIDD $MCHP
- tjv821: $rdn anyone else in this? Up quite a bit and appears to. E rolling over and hate to give my money back
- steve71: $RDN Is this Day 3 for Radian? Chart of the last seven trading days looks like an F-22 takeoff profile. It seems strange that there is so little option activity. I started taking some profits on my position.
- steve71: $RDN Radian strong in early trade. On 11/16, 2,000 Jan 16 calls were bought. Zacks recently raised to Buy based on increased new mortgage business and large pay down of expensive debt.

Bridget: ...
$RDN - breakout on volume
$CLNY - breakout but right back up to previous resistance
$PZZA - prob saw a lift from $DPZ, coming off support and could run to the recent high
$NRF $NSAM - day 2 of breakout
$ACIU - ipo coming off the lows
$KNSL - ipo ne ... - steve71: $RDN Haven't mentioned for a while because it is so dull. But Radian makes $. Mortgage insurance and mortgage services. With rates so low, defaults are way down. Radian's claims paid forecast to drop $315M in 2016. July earnings was beat and raise. Buying back stock. Dividend .07% (Why bother?) Slow money, which is a nice change from biotech.
- shoredriver: @steve71 $RDN $MTG too....
- steve71: $RDN Up 2.5% on good volume. Insider buying. I have a full position, otherwise would add here.
- tjv821: $rdn and $rlgy working
- steve71: $RDN Mortgage insurance. Smashed by the 2007 housing crisis, and trying to get off the canvas ever since. Barron's 3/27/16 noted that the balance sheet is improved and the debt is investment grade again. Rising out of consolidation on excellent volume. Trades at book.
- fwang: took some profits this morning, more room to run?@steve71 $RDN
- steve71: @fwang $RDN Short term, who knows? But it looks like a good long term hold.
- Forexpro: Re: $RDN, Megabanks Good Morning, Friends, Mr. Kass is singing the praises of $RDN sufficiently loudly this morning that I took note, and made my way to the chart. It isn't anywhere near the Winners' Circle, but it has put in something resembling a double bottom. If it can get past the pivot at 14.77 it might be interesting: http://schrts.co/wPFz0Q Separately, Theflyonthewall reports that $MS exec Colm Kelleher is warning at some conference that he doesn't expect fixed income markets to produce better results for the dealer banks in Q4 than they did in a (pretty poor) Q3. Best of luck today! Best of luck today!
- Bridget: $RDN now coming out of a volatility squeeze on increased volume.
- Bridget: $RDN and $MTG Rallying Today on Softened Mortgage Insurer Rules
- Bridget: $RDN breaking out of a 5 month ascending triangle.
- janner0814: @DavidM @peginwichita Hope the both of you are having great days. Here are a few of the #confirmedBUP i.e. confirmed Bullish Engulfing patterns from 5/23/14. Market conditions and stops are important considerations. $AER $AMCX $ASBC $BIDU $CROX $DOX $ENR $FB $GTI $HON $ITW $KSU $MJN $MMM $MRVL $OFC $PM $QLGC $RDN $SHW $TKR $TW Although I've written scans for same day BUPs, I'm liking my scans that give me the BUPs of one to two days back, that way I can see whether there was a confirming next day candle.... just a procedure I like to follow (to avoid "catching falling knives").

- heretic: $RDN - up7% this morning. Speculative play on mortgage insurance moving from gov backed to all private companies. Can't find any specific news. Any ideas? Long RDN.
- Tim S: $RDN - today's move has been sold into ... but I think this is going to get some juice. I agree with your thesis, based on the news we've gotten from DC about the mortgage sector lately. Also, if you look at the chart, it's setting up for a breakout. RSI and A/D are both bullish and there's a goodly short interest. MACD just about to cross. This is setting up beautifully. Good call @heretic!
- Tim S: $RDN - see @heretic's post earlier and my reply. $BTO Jan 15 calls @ $0.90. Out of the money, which is not my preference, but these have huge open interest and the trade has time to work. Bought a position size that I am willing to lose completely if I'm wrong.
- Tr8dr: $RDN Trying to figure out what to do with this, its slightly above my by point and just seems to be moving sideways. Any thoughts?
- Hawkeye: $RDN @Tr8dr - Depends on your time frame on what to do... It's behaving.. Just bouncing along an up sloping 50 dma in the upper half of the b band. I'm not in this one, but I'm in $MTG, which is doing the same thing.
- Tr8dr: $RDN @Hawkeye Thanks, I'll give it some more time.
- roadrunr: $RDN - nice bounce off 50 ma, has been good employee.
- clefferts: $RDN - still on the sidelines with no position. Its action today was not sufficiently convincing for me to buy. I am still learning though.
- gphelps: $RDN, MTG- Both popping today, up 4+% and 10+%, respectively. $RDN earnings 7/24 (Yahoo!Finance). Watching. No position.
- Tim S: $RDN, $MTG - both fall firmly in my "wish I woulda" category ... :-/
- Big D: $AMD, $JCI, $ALKS - Wouldn't know whether to hold $AMD through earnings, @Woodman. What has it done the past 2 years on earnings dates? Although I am pretty amazed at how #Cramer recommendation stocks have been moving up pretty hard recently. It's just a #Cramer market cycle, I guess. 4 that I like: $RDN, $GNW, $LL, CLDX.
- woodman: $RDN - nice bounce.
- Poet: $RDN - I'm seeing a bearish engulfing pattern setting up for today. Thinking about getting out NOW. Back to a tiny profit. Comments?
- roadrunr: $RDN - @woodman did you hold on to your shares? Today is another payday with this stock, very strong.
- woodman: $RDN @roadrunr- I saw your post late on Friday and responded but you probably didn't see it. I'm a sold out bull. No position. Been waiting for the pullback that hasn't come. If you are in it, I see no reason to sell.
- roadrunr: $RDN - @woodman, sorry to hear that you sold out. $RDN and $CLDX are my 2 best positions, thanks to you. $QCOR is my worst by selling calls. I hope it pulls back after 3rd day up today. I need some help by Friday.
- woodman: $RDN - I'm sorry too :-( Bad move on my part to allow myself to get shaken out. I'll continue to watch for a better re-entry.
- roadrunr: $RDN -- @woodman are you still in this? It is looking toppy to me, getting nervous. I sold half getting to this point, just wondering your thoughts?
- woodman: $RDN @roadrunr - sorry, I have been away since mid-morning and just logged back in. No, I am not in RDN. I wish I were, but got shaken out and never got back in. Too bad. I don't know where you entered, which always matters, but If I were in, I'd hold it. Now I need a pullback to get back in.

DAN: ...
Such stocks, like $HD, $RDN, $SJM, etc...when I cover those, I'm really just confirming for those who own them that they are acting as expected. And I am speaking to those who do not own them (but would like to own them) and suggesting that the sto ... - roadrunr: $RDN - volatility expansion resuming after short pullback this PM. Long and going strong. Where is the top?
- snmtraders: LINE - Barrons has been warning on viability of #dividend on this LLC for some time. They have also warned on $RDN -- another #Cramer favorite, albeit one that is currently working. When analysts warn on the viability of payouts, I put a tight leash on these holdings, just in case.
- roadrunr: $RDN -- sorry I forgot who mentioned this yesterday but the vol sqz is moving up the upper BB. In at 11.04, full position. New high since May 2010.
- woodman: $RDN - I added to mine today.
- BinaryJay: Rare Moment: Today is a rare day in the stock market for me. Every single position in my portfolio is in the black, even $ALXN which I bought this morning is ever so slightly up. I am currently mostly long #options (UTX, $GMCR, $CAR, $FB, $RDN, SODA) ...
- BinaryJay: $RDN - Giving this one another try after the last fake-out shook me out. Starter position in Aug 12 Calls.
- jcw222: $RDN ABBV $PCS and $IVZ look interesting on several time frames, especially compared to the S&P
- BinaryJay: $RDN - Breaking out of a volatility #squeeze. Bought Aug 11 Calls
- BinaryJay: $RDN - So far this one hasn't held the breakout despite my persistent blowing on the chart, hehe... In it until if / when violates my stop. Time to head off and get to my day job, @eh!
- BinaryJay: $RDN - Bought the fake-out, stop hit and I'm out of this one for now.

I mostly get the earnings news from #CNBC's blogs (Early Movers, Midday Movers, After-Hours Buzz). I make a note of which stocks popped after earnings. (Here's my list for Q4 2012 earnings: $CELG, $GILD, $KSU, $MON, $GS, $SBUX, $CMI, $QCOM, $N, $EQI ... -

DAN: ...
$RDN -- very difficult to buy at this level because it is so extended. But it has been extended for the last 45%. As a trade, this doesn't work for me because it is so extended. The odds of a pullback are pretty high. But as an investment...it w ... - lcrack62: $RDN -- A #Cramer pick . . . consolidating since 3/5. still learning to identify good entries myself so I'm wondering if a breakout from current triangle consolidation is a good one or if there is a better way to manage this one . . . or if it would be considered a worthwhile effort at all. anyone have a thought about this one?
- snmtraders: $RDN @Icrack62 - If you do a search in the Forum for $RDN or $MTG or $GNW you will find some discussion on this. I expressed concern about $RDN based on a Nov article by @Jon Laing in Barron's that discussed it's subpar balance sheet and business ethics (or, really, lack thereof). Nonetheless, the stock has moved higher and #Cramer continues to pump -- is this in his Action Alerts portfolio perchance? $GNW is a much safer bet in this space, though I own a spec position in MTG. Hope this helps.
- DrScience: $RDN, $MTG both mortgage insurers consolidating their gains. Quite extended from strong support, 20 DMA won't catch up until next week. Set a price alert for a breakout. Stocks won't go far without you. :)
- lcrack62: $RDN @snmtraders - Thanks for the information. I'll do some additional research on $RDN first. Not sure if it's in Action Alerts - heard about it on Mad Money. Was watching $GNW myself and bought it on 3/8. Had a nice gap open on 3/11 but has been falling back since. Hopefully will find support when it meets the 20-day.
- Diana2010: $RDN - I believe the recent stock offering addressed the balance sheet issue.
- snmtraders: $MTG - @Jim #Cramer continues to pound the table on mortgage insurer $RDN, which Barron's had panned last year. Nonetheless, $RDN rallied on @JC's pounding, and now he teases that he will be offering another great mortgage insurer on his special 8 year anniversary show tonight. I have been in $MTG for some time, and am hoping this will be the one and not $GNW, which is probably a better name, but has already enjoyed a double. Any other names in this sector we should take a look at?
- woodman: $MTG - I have some $MTG, but thinking of either replacing it with $RDN or being in both until one reveals itself to me as the better choice. Below is a Tweet from @Jim #Cramer today about $MTG and $RDN (it's not really looking like a pre-endorsement of $MTG as his "another great mortgage insurer" on his show tonight): @Jim #Cramer ?@jimcramer $RDN is much better and a buy right here.RT @MrFlyTrap: @jimcramer @JC, looking at $RDN & $MTG both great stories. Which is better buy here?
- snmtraders: $MTG @Woodman - Thank you. I think you can still get in, if you haven't done so yet. If you are concerned about the space, you could buy $MTG and sell $RDN -- I bet Barron's will have an update on their RDN= House of Cards article from last year after this move higher and #Cramer's hyping; they seem to despise that guy.
- bwcarnation: $RDN - Got stopped out w/ profit, was nervous holding after comments about Barron's article.
- snmtraders: $MTG @Woodman - I know you didn't buy $RDN but what I'm suggesting is that there is now a turnaround in the mortgage insurance space that I think is presenting a good opportunity. I think Genworth and $MGIC Investment will win out in this space, and that $RDN is a house of cards. I'm suggesting that if you agree with me about this space finally getting some legs, you could get in via a hedged strategy buying Genworth or $MTG and selling RDN. Just an idea. I have not shorted $RDN yet but don't think $MTG is done moving higher, given my expectation that this mtge insurance space is gaining favor as a way of investing in housing turnaround. In the words of @Jim Morrison, "Been down so G-d long, that it looks like up to me"...
- woodman: $RDN - this company provides credit and mortgage insurance and risk management services for mortgage lenders. #Cramer was just on pumping it again. I've been watching it go up every day over the last couple weeks ... without me. The move has been incredible. I just couldn't bring myself to chase and buy it. I guess, as @DAN might say, this is one of those that I have to say "I missed it."
- snmtraders: $RDN @woodman - I own $MTG in this space, and it has definitely been and remains a spec postion. As for $RDN, Barron's had a very thorough feature article on this "House of Cards?" authored by J. Laing Nov 3 2013. Bottom line is that $RDN is propping up its balance sheet by rejecting claims (at a significantly, really ridiculously high level) and effectively double pledging its assets (as it merged its insurance and bond assurance companies to prop up the balance sheet). Laing warns that once these short-term fixes (read: chicanery) run out, the shares could tumble. Unless some Congressman knows something Barron's doesn't know, I would stay far away from this bad boy.
- woodman: $RDN @snmtraders - thanks for your sobering post. That makes me feel better about my "missing" it. I do wonder, however, why #Cramer is such a bull for this stock. There's a disconnect somewhere it seems. I have to brush up on my $DD here.
- woodman: @dcole - I was just joking around with you above. Welcome aboard if you're new! @snmtraders and I were discussing $RDN just a few posts above. Take care.
- woodman: $RDN @snmtraders - I just looked at MTG. Congrats!! 85% gain over the last 4 days. What an incredible move. Great play.
- snmtraders: $RDN @Woodman - I wonder about #Cramer on this one, too. He often gets hopped up on a thesis and "trusts" people who later show up on his wall of shame. Not sure how he came up with this particular stock, and maybe he's right, but I looked at the numbers Barron's gave and unless there is some major error on their part I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. What is DD?
- bwcarnation: $RDN - have been watching it on & off since it was in the 2.00 range...did open a position very recently & up 30% (small position).Completed a concurrent offering of common & convertible senior notes yielding $690 million. 2 upgrades...one from $KBW yesterday w/ price target $12 & "outperform" rating, today Barclay upgraded it also. This was a much higher stock before the real estate market tanked. Didn't know about Barron's article...interesting though. Traded 30 million plus shares today, usual vol in 90day period is around 5.8 million. Up nicely again today.
- woodman: $RDN - well, I've been watching this one go up and up. It won't let you in and I've been unable to buy it. @Bummer.
- bwcarnation: $RDN - bought this a.m. on news of two offerings (common & convertible) stock sold off briefly then to new high on strong vol
- woodman: $RDN - Looks like a good housing play via residential mortgage business. #Cramer was touting this morning as part of the housing discussion.
