WJCO.. here was a 'no brainer' and alternate play that I missed. WJCO was an earnings plays 2 quarters ago and I watched it but it really went nowhere so I 'latched onto" BOL and AGN instead. Now BOL and AGN are basically out of my price range for this sector.

February 2nd WJCO came out with newswire that they expected to beat expectations. It's been trending up for the last few days and today it reported and did beat.

Technicals for WJCO Of course the reason I never tuned onto WJCO is because the chart looked pretty dismal. But the trend did reverse this week and now WJCO has broken through resistance of 21 7/8 and climbing. For those of you familiar with BOL, this is sector that has been out of favour but BOL, AGN have been very strong.
