Flatbase
Skyworks Nears Flat Base entry at 102.87SWKS has been one of the strongest stocks in the market over the last year.
It has also been so consistent and not choppy.
I like the company and its in a valid base, which I believe is a stage 2 flat base since the Oct low.
Industry group rank =10
On the other side of the coin, it has 0 Qtrs of EPS acceleration...
Still almost every other light is green, except 3yr sales growth =22% which is red.

MNST nearing break out of flat base #3It is very close to a clean flat base buy point at 144.
Drawbacks:
3 year EPS is only 18%, and some of this pop has been because of KO acquisition
3 year Sales is only 18%

Chivas's idea: SHW out of flat base Chivas likes the low volatility and flat shallow base of SHW for his weekly pick. SHW has good rel strength, has a nice trend going, but there are a few drawbacks as I see it:
1. Lacking vol on breakout
2. Red vol comes in Thursday, 4/16.
3. Not in a good group rank. 77/197
4. Acc/Dis is D+.
I see these as enough to rule this stock out.
