API

[Athakinu]

API has had increased volume/price over the last two days. Up from 2.86 on Friday to 3.45 today. It has two white candles and maybe the third is coming? It had a huge price spike back in 2000 when it soared to 18 in a few days (see link below). It has only insider buying this year and fundamentally it is  undervalued. Anyone have an input??

I bought in [email protected].  I saw a lot of big buys in the morning on this stock.  Something is cooking I think.  Homeland security stock.

Would love to hit $18.

[rocket8]

why do you say $18 ?
isn't that a long way from $3 ?

[saffeysite1]

It was in reference back to when API hit $18 back in 2000.  It jumped from $3 - $18 in one week. 

So, leading back to my statement. It would be great if that scenario happened one more time.

I leave with you with 3 Charts of my Analysis, long term, short term, And G-pattern potential(next post). U could also possibly consider yesterdays candlestick a reversal day. On the contrary, The defiintion of a reversal day would be for the low to extend beyond the prior days low, In this case the low met the prior days low at 2.96 and rallied to close above the close of the prior day. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. Risky buying could be done now but i will wait for it to close above the continuation flag.

Best of luck everyone

Possible G-Pattern

[fous]

API broke out of its continuation flag today farely strong. I believe now would be a great time to buy. I will buy tommorrow morning at the open.

For all of  you who have followed any of EliteG's G-Pattern study then you would know that significant gains can be found within this pattern. Well today API hit the G-spot and now is a good time to hop on board if you have any faith in G's system or if you already missed the last train stop at the break of the flag where i hopped on.  My trading plan is simple, Hold until it closes below the acending trendline which is currently at $3.34

As always,
Best of luck to all

great stuff fousc(APPLAUD)  , top notch TA, imo.  I really like the entry on the break of the flag, a lot of safety that way.  Kick some @$$.  Might join you today.

Is anybody watching this stock? I was hoping that between earnings  & the Las Vegas trade show that it would get a POP.
