Breakaway gap on DESC

By David Randolph · July 26, 2005 · 2 min read · 506 views
Distributed Energy Systems Corp. (DESC) creates and delivers products and solutions to the emerging decentralized energy marketplace, giving users greater control over their energy cost, quality and reliability. As the parent company of Proton Energy Systems (http://www.protonenergy.com) and Northern Power Systems (http://www.northernpower.com), Distributed Energy Systems delivers a combination of practical, ready-today energy solutions and the solid business platforms for capitalizing on the changing energy landscape. For more information visit http://www.distributed-energy.com.

The breakway gap was made when the company raised guidance for the full year 2005:

Distributed Energy Raises Guidance for 2005

As you can see in the chart below, DESC jumped above a resistance level without touching it, which is the definition of a breakaway gap (those that are never closed Cool):

Energy has been the hot sector of the year, and that's a wave that lifts all boats (what is the correct expression? thanks), specially the ones with improving fundamentals as DESC.

The stock doesn't look like it wants to close the gap, it looks like it is running away from this area. This is one of my preferred chart patterns, since risk is low (you don't want to see the stock start coming down to fill the gap) and potential profit is high:

I've decided to buy DESC for the 3 Stocks on Fire Portfolio at today's open.
