BBBY.. very bullish here as well Net Earnings Increase 30.1% to $24.7 million ($.17 per share).. it was an earnings play alternative selection and that is why it was on the daily watch list with MLHR.. Similarly I am now expecting BBBY to break through resistance of 31 5/8 because of this report. Chart was mixed until today.. with relative strength and MACD bullish but volume indicators still bearish. Since (as in BBY) the relative performance for the year is a very high 92, I think now the technical rank (which was a very low 40) will rise to close the gap and BBBY will increase in price. It is very good when a stock that has a low technical rank has a good earnings report, had BBBY been overbought I would hesitate but BBBY is now in a pivotal position to break out of resistance and hit its 52 week high of 33. Net Sales Rise 29.3%; Comparable Store Sales Grow 8.8% UNION, N.J., Dec. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Bed Bath & Beyond Inc.
