Tiffany..BFT..SMOD...CIR BFT fantastic company. I've been following it for the past 6 months. Just changed boards. This is one of the best growth companies out there with less downside risk than the high tech companies. It has a 48% growth rate for next 3-5 years. As far as the chart goes, I'm waiting for a trend reversal before I initiate a mid term position in this stock. SMOD.. did very well a while back but has since pulled back. The chart is not very inviting and this stock needs time to come into buy range. It's fundamentals are still good and the sector is coming back into favor. It's reporting on May 21. By that time it should have a reversal.. For the short term I'd keep away. For the intermediate/long term it has better prospects. CIR I like this the least of the group. On May 26 it will be reporting what is expected to be a season that is 36% less than the same season a year ago. Chart looks pretty bad. 5 analysts revised earnings downwards in the last 7-30 days. It's not a hot prospect, I see better ones in this sector. ....and you are not 'out of line' quite the contrary. Welcome to the thread.

Welcome Tiffany, SMOD needs to stay above 23 just to hold it, and a reversal would have to occur to make it a buy. CIR is trending down and looks to continue doing so. BFT bounced off 34 mid month and hasn't shown signs of reversing its downtrend yet. I do have a suggestion though - the charts you are looking at are for the month so far. Sinc you are learning, I would recommend using no lesxs than a 6 month window in that Wall Street City chart. That will give you a much better idea of which way the stock is heading. Chart trendlining is the one basic skill everyone needs, and looking at 30 days won't tell you wher its going. Go back and look at the CIR chart for 6 or 12 months and you will see what I mean. lastshadow
