Trade of the Week for September
Week 1
Children’s Place PLCE | Looking at the “Revenue Growth Fishing” scan we found a great looking chart in retail. The Quarterly revenue growth is 45% and the chart has a nice base to it. The risk reward down here in the low 20’s is attractive.
Week 2
Southwest Airlines Co. LUV | Taking a top down approach this week by looking at the strength of the airline sector recently. The gold standard for airline travel is Southwest Air (LUV). The idea will be to not let the price close under the 50-day moving average and keep the 200-day moving average in sight above.
Week 3
Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. APT| Another signal from the Trade Ideas “Revenue Growth Fishing” scan. This name, in addition to having a nice basing pattern on that daily chart with an inverse head and shoulders pattern. Also, APTY has a function of COVID and PPE to their business model.
Week 4
Eastman Chemical EMN | EMN presented itself on our “Revenue Growth Fishing” scan that has been doing so well as of late. Just looking for a nice basing pattern on a company that has at least 20% Quarterly revenue growth.
