Looks like a great prospect.Moving averages crossing over and stock bouncing off it's 50 day M.A.Also showing a cup and a handle.
Making a decent run up,Volume a little low first call was at 16.53 current bid is 17.32
I like it, but am still concerned about the lousy movement of oil stocks as of late.
Personally, you may want to look at MEK, which I did happen to pick up

Same business without all the resistance of DXPE. However, if DXPE has another good day and goes back in the uptrend - it may just be a buy too. I'd give it another day to confirm the building of the rt side of the cup
Great snowcat,I will be watching the stocks you mentioned.The volume was not there today for Dxpe.I believe I will see today's loss + another 5-6% taging on to the closing price by the end of next week.at which point I will be exiting.Looking at KG very closely for next week
For something different in the energy field, check out the threads on SYNM and RTK - Both have a process that converts natural gas to liquid fuel - SYNM is more in the gas side and RTK is more in the service side and a bit more diversified. Both are in an uptrend.
My energy pix have been suffering as of late - but DXPE and other quality service stocks will be back - but DXPE is just a peanut compared to its larger bretheren - its best to go for best in the class.
sold Dxpe in 8 days for a 2 point gain not too bad.Looking at Bnt would like to get in around 25.5-15.7.
stock blasted off from a cup/handle set up.
been on the IBD 100 for the past two weeks. Up over 10%!!

Hey snowcat,
Too late for me I had already sold it and moved on.Bought Chrw and Sanm today lookin to see some bounce soon.
Yes, this one required patience - and with the energy business swinging wildly, it is ok to take profits while you can. But in 100 years, if DXPE becomes the next Schlumberger, you can say you owned it when it first started out.
I will look into SANM & CHRW.
Bought some DXPE a day ago average around 49.90.
