It was a pretty good day on Wall Street on Thursday, new all-time highs on the S&P 500 and Dow. The Nasdaq 100 came close. We’re going to take a look at some of those stocks that did very well on Thursday.
Clayton Williams Energy, Inc. (NYSE:CWEI) has gone from 6 to 55 just since the March low. It has 5 waves up, and looks like there’s the momentum to push it higher. It jumped 3.84 to 54.66, or 7.56%, on 535,506 shares traded on Thursday, reaching as high as 54.98. Target is at 70. It has almost 6 days to cover.
Etsy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ETSY) is looking pretty good after the down trend that began a year ago until early this year, based out, and then it broke out with a big thrust on volume a week ago, and then settled into a consolidation, formed a wedge, and broke out of it on Thursday, up 72 cents to 14.50, or 5.2%, on 2 million shares. With 4.46 days to cover, I wouldn’t be surprised to see 16 short-term.
Exact Sciences Corporation (NASDAQ:EXAS) certainly is a winner, up 1.39 to 20.84, or 7%, on 5 million shares. When it popped and pulled back mid-June, we put a swing on it, and it’s been up ever since, going from 8.95 to Thursday’s high at 21.00. If it extends I think the target at 22-22 1/2 should be met, possibly Friday. The intermediate target is upwards of 30. It has 5.3 days to cover.
NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is awesome. It has gone from mid-20’s in Feb, all the way up to the 60-dollar range. We put a swing on it early July, and it ran up steadily for 12 points. On Thursday, it ran up to 59.95 before pulling back and closing up 1.19 to 59.70, or 2%, on 14.5 million shares. In afterhours it spiked up to 63.00, and change. It’s at the upper end of the range and at my target. It has 4.5 days to cover.
