CREE Looks Interesting (Earnings 10-20)


The market continues to trend higher, even as the smartest people on Wall Street think we are due for a sell-off. I am not disagreeing with those people and I do believe the market continues to move higher because most people think its going lower. Saying that, when it comes to trading, you have to follow the market and let your trades work for you. Trying to short this market has proven to be a losing proposition, but going long has been tough as well. You have to trade each stock based on its own merit and hopefully things will work out for you.

For Monday we are watching Cree Incorporated (CREE) for a breakout move. As you can below, the stock has been trading in a decreasing consolidation range, waiting for a high volume breakout. We have seen a few moves, but there was no follow through, which pushed the stock back into this range. The high of this range is $40.61, which is the price we are watching for this upside move.
