Fundamental Analysis
To keep things simple, I like this stock due to their market exposure. They are involved with many sectors of industrial lines. Automotive, Computing, Consumer Goods, Energy/Resources, Military/Aerospace/Medical, Mobile, Printed Packaging, and Water Treatment. After looking at their financials the main thing I noticed in comparison with DuPont and BP was the Return on Investment Capital. DuPont ranged from -0.69% to -.511% in comparison to Element's 1.15% to 3.26%. These were yearly comparisons and it tells me that DuPoint and BP could be losing some value. I like the innovative drive that Element brings as well.
Technical Analysis
Stochastic RSI: White line is close to the orange line which means price is close to being oversold while also being in a support zone.
Fibonnaci: Ranged from the potential "New Support Zone" to the "New Resistance Zone". I'm looking for a retracement of the previous high being $19.36. I'm expecting a retracement of anywhere between 30% and up.
MacD Squatter: White line is crossing down below the zero line while in a support zone.
Entry Rule: Once crossover happens, I will go to the 5 or 15 min for confirmation before entry.
Current Price: $17.49
Strike Price: $18.24 - $19.36 and up if lucky.
Stop Loss: $16.66
OF COURSE I WANNA SEE YOU MAKE IT!
