GPRE — Double BottomDouble bottom. The bottoms are separated by about 2 weeks. I got in this exactly on the second turn, so up over 16% in two weeks — not too bad.
Strategy:
If it gets to the "Handle Zone" (see chart) and a turns right back up against the resistance line, I will buy more. I think that that would signifiy a breakout with nice gap at way up there at 32.37. If so, that'll be a 75 percenter for me (I got in last week, right on the turn of the cup).
The cup and handle pattern, I see only viable in this type of double bottom situation with the resistance or "supply" line as the top of the cup and handle, as a reversal when price is nearing long-term lows.
Price went up 18% last week and I can't say "sell" on it because of the amount of room on the upside.
Fundamentals:
Renewable energy is trendy.
Earnings beating consistently.
Low price/book value … 1.568.
Quarterly dividends coming at $0.08 per share.
Market sector indicators:
CL1! might've bottomed out.
BBEP went up over 20% today WOW! (and I took a 17.5% profit on that one).
CSIQ is going back up, And even TSL, too.
There is some more room on the downside, and of oil goes down to $40, we will see that. If not, there's a lot of
GPRE BreakoutGreen Plains Renewable Energy (GPRE) is North America's fourth largest ethanol producer, operating six ethanol plants in Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska and Tennessee. GPRE shows a Breakout signal back on July 24. and is now re-testing that breakout level. If that test is successful look for another move higher.
An important concept to keep in mind is that support and resistance are not like brick walls that crumble when you go through them, but more like elastic bands that stretch until they break. If they don't break, they may "slingshot" the market in the opposite direction.
