It was a really good day on Wall Street. A lot of stocks we follow and/or traded did well. Let’s take a look at a few.
- Axsome Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:AXSM), a swing trade we put out in January around the 7-7 1/2 range, made it up to 14.04 on Thursday, jumping 1.23, or 10.24%, to 13.24, on 1.9 million shares. I think it’s a little overbought short-term. It’s only been down once in the last three weeks. Keep a stop under the 11.40-50 range. If it does run, the target is 16ish.
- InVitae Corp. (NYSE:NVTA)) has been a monster every since I gave it to you in January. It has gone from the 13-14 range up to double nearly at 26. It had a good day on Thursday as it continued to push higher, popping 71 cents, or 2.84%, to 25.75, on 1.25 million shares. The long-term channel range is perhaps 28-30.
- US Silica Holdings Inc. (NYSE:SLCA) has an inverse head-and-shoulders. It broke out two days ago, pulled back on Wednesday, and on Thursday it had a nice follow-through, gaining 46 cents, or 2.78%, to 16.98, on 1.36 million shares, reaching a high of 17.20. It looks like the channel up is headed for 21 and 23.
- StoneCo Ltd. (NASDAQ:STNE), a swing trade of ours, is working well. After breaking out of a wedge, it exploded 5.15, or 13.62%, to 42.95, on 5.5 million shares to the top of the channel. It may not be done yet. It looks like the angle is changing and sharply high. Looking for high 40’s next.
- Viking Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:VKTX) popped on Thursday and I put a swing on it. It was up 1.01, or 12.21%, to 9.28, on 9.5 million shares, closing just pennies off the high. It looks like it might be emerging. We’ll follow it on Friday. My targets are 12 1/2 and 15 1/2.
- Zosano Pharma Corp. (NASDAQ:ZSAN) exploded out of a wedge, climbing 57 cents, or 11.92%, to 5.35, on 2.3 million shares, and closed above the declining topsline. Let’s see if it gets a follow-through. If it gets through resistance, I’m looking at 6 1/2 and 8.00.
