    The charts tell you when- but here's
    THE WHY OF THE BUY

  • traderbren: #Weeklies - some potential set ups on the weekly charts to keep an eye (alert) on: $CLF, $SNAP, $BLDR, $RCII, $TOL, $MHO, $WDAY, $TRTN, $FND, $CRPT, $FOCS, $TDC, $FB, $AN, $ASO, $ATKR, $AVY, $BMI, $BSY, $ELF, $ENTG, $GMS, $NMRK, $NVEE, $ON, $ONTO, $PAG, $SAIA, $STAA, $UHAL, $URI, $WIRE
  • debeers: $STAA-you don't have to be a $STAA baby to be in my show. You can talk among yourselves all you want but someone is implanting these lenses in cataract surgery. EYE believe the sales (OMG i am channeling @Pokersmith LOL). Staar Surgical came out with quarterly earnings of $0.27 per share, beating the Consensus Estimate of $0.08-12 cents per share. This compares to earnings of $0.03 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 237.50%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this maker of implantable lenses would post earnings of $0.02 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.20, delivering a surprise of 900%. UPDATE- sold 153
  • Pokersmith: @debeers $STAA You never lost sight of this one 👀 🤪 nice👍

  • scottto_2: @Henry $STAA - Alcon tends to be the supplier of choice from what I understand. I'm not a cataract surgeon, however....

  • GOOSE: OK, I'm not half of the genius that my cat thinks I am. Need some advice on the following, I STO $STAA June 135.0 short calls. The premium was 4.80. The stock is now @149.53. Is there a salvage trade for this? I'm up on the stock more than the cost to buy some of the calls back, which I did yesterday, and saved 7 points. Hmmmm. Next week OK.

  • mradams0621: @GOOSE $STAA $SWKS Hey Goose! I get the $SWKS trade. Looks good to me. But $STAA? What are you thinking? Not bottom picking at support, that entry was 4 days ago. Do like the weekly uptrend. Just don't see an entry RHRN. What am I missing? What caught your attention on it? Volume nuttin special. I just don't get it. Curious minds yern to learn.

  • bRobert: @Rberrier123 $STAA $107+ potential with M top in motion Around the 50d
  • debeers: $STAA- up on stellar earnings and 150 before next report providing they come out with interim news which they always seem to do. Here's what has happened so far: $STAA is up 71% year to date and vision is getting worse not better partly due to folks living longer and the damage blue light does to the eyes. The other i hold is $UNH but that one's only up 19.05%. i think that when we add in the surgery centers that chose to be closed, it makes sense for me to go 75/25. 75% $STAA and 25% UNH.LONG Oh, Sh---t, i keep on forgetting to say IMO. (Pleeeeeze don't tell @DAN).

  • debeers: $STAA- Staar Surgical (STAA Quick QuoteSTAA - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.20 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.02 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.04 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 900%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this maker of implantable lenses would post earnings of $0.09 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.14, delivering a surprise of 55.56%. SHORT FORM-implantable lenses are the result of rising cataract surgery which interestingly is abetted by staring at computer screens. Very short form- You don't have to be a $STAA baby to be in my show! But it helps. LONG
  • debeers: Quizzicle (small quiz) Ready? Stock #1- 1 year return 43%/3 year return 83.2/ 5year return 237% Stock#2-1 year return 231.7/3 year return 457%/5year return 1552% Didja guess? The first stock is $UNH which is a bellweather stock and excellent The second stock is $STAA which not only IS a star but no matter what the economy does, folks take care of the stuff they only have 1 or 2 of and eye surgery isn't elective. When your lenses get cloudy, you get the surgery. If you only have a couple in the sector, these are 2. If you only have 1 in the sector.......well, you do the math.LONG both.
  • debeers: $STAA- New Filing---BAILIE GIFFORD investments buys 10.24% of STAA-filing just hit. Bailie is a Scottish investment firm. i don't know much about them but i bet @Forexpro does.
  • Doug1: @debeers $STAA I looked at the stock and it surely looks good. IBD has a rating of 88 on it as well. It is green in the right places but the P/E ratio is 1039. I thought this might be a mistake but it doesn't appear to be. I checked Yahoo and Finviz. Just wanted your thoughts on that. Their earnings were at $0.12 vs earnings of $17 for UNH. UNH has a P/E of 24. Thanks and I enjoy your posts!
  • Pokersmith: @Doug1 $STAA DO yourself a favor and pull up a 5 year monthly chart...
  • Doug1: @pokersmith $staa Done! It is a truly amazing chart. I just saw the 1039 P/E. I'm not used to seeing that on anything other than a high flying tech stock. $LHCG has done very well (not as well as STAA) but the P/E on it is 56. Just asking and thanks.
  • Rberrier123: $STAA getting hammered today down 13%. EPS tomorrow.
  • debeers: $STAA-Earnings in 6 days. Implanted lenses. The Eyes and the Ay!s have it. I have so little patience for the drug stocks where everything is wonderful until the stage 3 phase where it fails. LONG
  • debeers: $STAA--SHORT FORM;-about 25 cents from an all time high. You don't have to be a $STAA baby to be in my show.

  • debeers: $STAA- LONG FORM- Staar Surgical earned $0.07 per share, the Consensus Estimate was a loss of $0.03 per share. The co earned $0.04 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings beat of 333.33%. A quarter ago, it was expected that STAA, a maker of implantable lenses, would post $0.01 per share; it did produce earnings of $0.09,The earnings surprise was 800%.. Look to the history of beats:Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS . SHORT FORM- YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A STAA , BABY, TO BE IN MY SHOW--But it helps.
  • debeers: $STAA- You don't have to be a STAA baby, to be in my show (but it helps). Good on them for earnings.On call, co forecast 25% growth. In case you care about what they do: implantable lenses. They only projected 20% growth.
  • woodman: #UptrendingStocks - I ran a scan during the day yesterday for up-trending stocks that appeared to be coming out of oversold conditions. These were among the most interesting to me:: $TTMI $PRO $IBCP $CABO $AMKR $AEIS $STAA $SPSC $SNOW. Check earnings dates if interested in any. I may post a few more also of interest but figured this was enough for now.

  • bullmoose: $STAA - Nice bounce over the last two days. I like the chart on this one. A high base, a bounce off both the 50 and 20, and a weekly chart that's consolidating in the winner's circle and running up the 20-week average.
  • bullmoose: $STAA - In a sea of red $STAA continues to move up the hill.
  • bullmoose: ...
    $STAA is also holding up nicely, having bounced off the 50-day EMA on Tuesday. The 20-day SMA is giving it some resistance.

    $WWWW is one tech that is also holding up but not at a great buy point.

    I forgot to mention my steel stocks...AKS and ...
  • bullmoose: $STAA - You're welcome. It's been a nice trade. Wish I owned more. Don't forget the three-day rule. I'm taking a little profit today.
  • bullmoose: $STAA (@joebob) - I haven't set my stop yet. Today's low is right at the 20-day EMA, but the 20-day SMA is a little lower. I'll probably set it under that. But I'll raise it to just above my purchase price if it goes higher tomorrow. I'll also look to trim tomorrow on a continued rally as part of adherence to the three-day rule. I will, however, keep a small amount in my portfolio with a stop under yesterday's low as a placeholder to reload on the next pullback.
  • joebob: $STAA (@Bullmoose)- Thank you. Big help.
  • bullmoose: Several Nice Setups - Now that I'm sitting on a huge cash position after trimming more stocks (mainly $EMC, PANL and ZAGG), and have risen stops on others (AAPL, $KH, SLW) I am eying several stocks that have real nice chart setups. Rather than buy now (some are breakout stocks like $CTXS that have had decreasing volume as they are breaking out), I'm going to monitor them for pullbacks to higher support levels. Here are a few tickers: $HBAN, $HCBK, $WFC, $QCOR, $MITK, $SAP, $SYK, $STAA, $HOS, $GWR, KSU. I still like $AAPL, $EMC, $CTXS and PANL too. All on pullbacks, though I have nibbled at a few just to get in the game.
  • ridgerunr: $STAA could go, nice chart, have small. everything for trade at top of range here
  • bullmoose: $STAA - Huge breakout. this is one of the stocks I had bought that I was monitoring. I like the consolidation. It's not tight enough to be considered a #squeeze though, so I'll be taking some profits, letting the rest run, and looking to re-load at the 50.
  • bullmoose: $STAA - Taking some profits. Can't pass up locking in an 11% one day gain.
  • highcotton: $STAA @Sumo Thanks again for bringing this one to the forum when you did. I've been looking for a little pullback to add to my position but it won't relent.
  • Sumo: $HL I am watching this stock at an inflection point still in $STAA starter position DZZ (double short Gold) long from yesterday Sumo
  • Sumo: $STAA -for the spec traders in here nice setup if the market goes strong alarm set at 6.99 a momentum break out play
  • Sumo: $STAA - nice entry point @ 7.05 with a tide stop under 7.00
  • scottto: ADCT - Sorry have to share. Found this stock this weekend looking for stocks without a lot of overhead resistance. Bought a starter position yesterday and woke up to a huge profit today on Tyco's takeover. This always happens to other people, not me....until today. FYI, other stocks I found in my screen: $CVTI, RURL, $STAA, SPEC, ARBA, $GSOL Have a green day...
