SLCA
$SLCA Idea I bought this stock for various reasons. First the stock has seen pressure since reaching its recent high of $18.72 on April 23rd. Last week it got close to touching its 52 week low of $9.30. This was a point of buying interest for me as I believe the stock was oversold and is due for another run in the right direction. The stock was selling off and riding along the bottom side of the bollinger band, before recently trading away from the band and setting up for a reversal the other direction. As you can also see with the RSI, the stock was oversold when looking at the daily chart, which is another signal that I like to use when evaluating trades. I am a big fan of bullish/bearish divergence, and even though $SLCA is not showing true bullish divergence, the RSI has been steadily moving higher while the price moved back toward the lows (see the dark green line at the bottom).
The last couple days, price action has moved the stock higher, but today was met with slight resistance at the 21 day MA. To be comfortable with this trade, I would like to see the price move through this MA as well as make a run at the top side of the BB. I will then look for a pull back before it sets up for a run toward the next MA's. I do not feel there is much downside risk, until the stock trades lower than the previous 52 week low, at which my stop will be placed below. Overall, this is purely a technical trade, and for short term potential. This should be an exciting stock to follow and once we get further into the trade I will re-evaluate with a fresh perspective.
We also need to close the gap from May 23rd.
This trade could go horribly wrong, and the stock could sink. But for now I am playing this one from the long side. We shall see how this plays out.
Cheers,
Les

US SILICA ready for a big bounce?The chart speaks for itself. Just bounced on a support support near all time lows, while the business itself is still performing stellar.
Indicators looking good; small bounce from this point looks good, etc.
Some beautiful trades possible from this point.

SLV Analysis
If you are a silver trader, here is a long term look at the ETF. I am neutral at present, as the Dragons belly has been pierced. Price can easily trade in a narrow range here, triggering stops at an alarming rate. Wait for a pierce (and hold) of the oceans surface (Dragon takes flight) before a long position can be initiated. Support and resistance levels are clearly illustrated (green dotted, solid green and solid red lines.
Dotted Median lines provide an 80% probability, so exercise wise yet aggressive risk management. Good trading!

SLCA- Scary Huh? A Bit Extended? 8-21 How's this for extended big picture wise. Reminds me of the old adage of:
You gotta sell your peanuts while the circus is in town. After all, once the circus leaves town who are you going to sell your peanuts to.
