It was a real good day on Wall Street on Wednesday, and a lot of stocks we follow did great as a trading day. So, let’s go over some stocks that we follow that look good, or are promising and developing nicely.
Amedisys Inc (NASDAQ:AMED) is one of our top stocks for the year. Last year it based, broke out and wedged, and then exploded, came down over a 3-month period, exploded again, ran to the top of the channel, pulled back from the top to the bottom of the channel, forming a big wedge. The hole in the big gap is the key at the 24 range. It started to move up again, and Wednesday it was a big day, up 2.54 to 31.67, or 8.7%, on 674,400 shares traded. That’s the biggest volume on an up-day since October. It’s just a tad above, and closed above, the prior high, which is important in terms of the breakaway move. Right now, the target has to be 39-39 1/2. It’s probably a good swing trade, and may have a swing put on it on Thursday.
Cellectis (PARIS:ALCLS), a fairly new IPO, did extremely well in the last two days. It had an explosive pop, an inside day, and Wednesday was the follow-through day, up 4.54 to 40.99, 3 points from the high, or 12 1/2%, on 1.5 million shares. The momentum here, the base having been completed, could even run up to the mid-to-high 40’s before it pulls back. Looking for another an extension in the next day or so.
NeoPhotonics Corporation (NYSE:NPTN), a swing trade of ours, is doing great. It popped out, pulled back perfectly, popped and flagged, and on Wednesday, it popped again for the third day in a row, up 44 cents to 8.28, or 5.6%, on 1.3 million shares. Big volume. Targets are 9 3/4 and 11 1/2-12.
Silicon Motion Technology (NASDAQ:SIMO) had a big pop on Wednesday, up 2.66 to 34.38, or 8.4%, on 1.4 million shares. That’s the best volume in a couple months. Breaking out of the wedge is important. The trendline may very well be dictated at the channel top. Short-term it will be taking it up to 36-36 1/4, and then, if it extends to the top of the channel, look for it to run up to the low 40’s.
