AMED, CREE, FCN, NILE Among Boxer Shorts To Watch
by Harry Boxer, www.TheTechTrader.com
Tonight I'm going to cover some Boxer Shorts, as the market is looking quite tentative here and has some potential additional downside.
Cree Inc. (CREE) has been a fantastic stock in the last year and a half, having run up from the 12 1/2 range up to over 80, in the 83 range. It formed a topping pattern, came down hard a couple weeks ago, and bounced, but rather feebly, and I don't see much reaction from the technicals. Today it backed off 1.47, and if the low around 56 is taken out, this stock could cascade lower. Short-term target is 50.
FTI Consulting, Inc. (FCN), in a negative declining channel for the last year and a half, two years, has certainly gone opposite to most of what the bull market has shown us. It rolled over hard in early July and formed a wedge. If this rolls over and retests the 31 zone and it takes that out, it could move down to the mid-to-high 20s.
Blue Nile Inc. (NILE), another retailer with a negative pattern, topped at the end of last year, came down at the end of Jan-Feb, bounced, rolled over, retested. It has done that four times, and finally it broke last week. Since the break, the stock has formed a bear flag. It looks to me like we're headed for a move down to 36, my initial trading target, and beyond that, secondary target is down around 28.
