Are you guys still on board ? It looks like HANS took a hit today - down 5.95% on above average volume to its previous target of $88. It has been down for the past 10 days .

I'm still in it.  I was watching the intraday when it took it's dive today.  Someone was unloading a bunch of shares, hence the fall.  I'm in at around $91.20 or so and not worried.

[AussieTrader]

Stopped out for a small gain. I had moved my stop just shy of $90 (just above the breakout point, below the 20ema and above my entry point). I wasn't prepared to let this one fall below the breakout entry.

Will see how HANS shapes up again. I thought the breakout would hold after it shot though $100.....maybe next time.

On my radar.

[Jimbo]

HAMS is holding strong so far, despite the market decline. Bouncing off the 50MA, hopefully getting ready for $100 breakout
