So it appears that ENT and PDS have both reached a 52-week price bottom lately and are headed higher.This blog is at least two days late. You can find the original post at StockCounsel.ComThere are inherent advantages to buying at major lows and on the way up. Not only is the downside risk a lot smaller, but the upside potential is also much larger.OK, I admit I don't usually buy high to sell

On April 10, 2006, we forecasted here at Profit-Prowler™ that the stock price of Google (ticker symbol: GOOG) would move up to the $430 per share level.At that time we also set a target price of about $430, which was subsequently fully met (indeed exceeded), as we all know by now.The fact the GOOG has since come down after rising and meeting the upside price target we had set on April 10, 2006

.The upside for GOOG that we predicted on Friday, April 7, 2006 after the market's close has been fulfilled today, Monday, April 10, 2006.GOOG closed at $416.38, up $10.22 for the day. In fact GOOG not only retested the $414 level today, but exceeded it, showing greater strength than expected.So what's next? Is this a false breakout above the $414-$415 level? While this is possible, it is not

GOOG (Google Inc.) is a world famous stock that is actively traded on NASDAQ, averaging 7 million shares per day.The stock closed today at $406.16, down $5.02 for the day, Friday, April 7, 2006.Short-term, we see GOOG able to re-test the $413-$414 resistance level very soon. This means that if you want to unload, there is likely a better price waiting for you. In other words, it is better to

This is a brief comment on gold.The psychological barrier of $600 per oz. for gold presented some hesitation (or resistance) today.However, there is no doubt that the big players are pushing gold way above the $600 level in the not too distant future. We are talking about weeks at most.In coming weeks and months, it is reasonable not only to expect gold to eventually touch the historical high it

$The recent action by China's SRB (State Reserve Bureau) on London'sLME (London Metal Exchange) in buying back December copper futures,to cover a short position by an alleged rogue trader, showed plentyof naivete and incompetence. It was rumored, and presumably correct,that the short-position was rolled over to 2006. A cursory look atthe prices showed that the short-term contract (December, 2005)

=================== Review Of The Broad Market March 12, 2004 A short-term bottom has been observed for the broad market. Today's rally will likely lead to a few more up days. Profits in blue chip shorts, such as DNA, should be cashed in, as blue chips are likely to rally with the broad market. New shorts may later be imposed after the rally ends, and at better prices. In any event,

It then steadily declined to a low of under $4 in February, 2003. It has now moved back up to the current price of about $20. LGND's ability to move decisively above $20 is deemed low.

============================= Serologicals Corporation. (Ticker Symbol: SERO) SERO closed at $18.41 on February 19, 2004 . As the stock approaches the $19-$24 area, it is turning bearish. Note that the yearly high was $19.29 and a re-test of that level near term is probable. Any short-selling should be limited and kept modest in size and should be a portion of an overall plan to

In 2000, it made a price peak of about $15, twice its current price. While it is probable that FMTI may re-test its recent high of $7.5 or even break above $8, it is unlikely to move up much beyond.

MORE on AV (Avaya Inc.) Yesterday, it was reported in the news that one major Wall Street firm bought 14 million shares of AV from AV, for redistribution to the public. This was very remarkable in that it is very rare for the top management of a firm to be able to unload a gigantic chunk of shares at a major price peak to the unsophisticated public, much less to a Wall Street firm.

Avaya Inc. (Ticker Symbol: AV) AV UPDATE: This historic high of AV was in year 2000 when AV was swept by the dot-com craze and shot up to about $23. It soon fell to $10, before rallying back up to $19+. The $19 level was, and still is, a formidable barrier to any upside. The brave bulls made a vigorous assault of the $19 level earlier today, but retreated in defeat. The intra-day high

NetManage, Inc. (Ticker Symbol: NETM) NETM is getting very interesting in that this stock is now at the historic high it made in year 2000, at the peak of the dot-com boom. This is quite rare for a dot-com stock, since most of them are still much below their historic price peaks of 2000. The current price level appears unsustainable and therefore NETM is considered quite bearish. Future

Americredit Cp (ACF), which peaked on Jan 23 at just under $20 has since fallen to nearly $16. Its rebound to about $17.5 earlier today appears to have exhausted in strength. Therefore a re-test of the recent $16 is now likely. Any buys at much above $16 does not appear prudent. Patience to wait out the longer-tem bottom seems warranted.
