new speculative Featured long position: APEI

APEI is bouncing off recent support and breaking out past the most recent resistance on the fourth day of its trading history, on strong volume. There is not a lot of trading history here to make a for sure call on but the few days of trading we do have definitely have a bullish bent to them all. The first thing you will notice is that there are bullish closes on every single day of trading with either tails showing intraday support or the price opening at the LOD and closing higher. The BOP has also been around the zero line showing that there is no selling but at the same time showing that there is no real heavy buying yet either. Overall the candlestick chart pattern is what we are going on so far and so far it looks great. The fundamentals are what makes this stock great, with EPS growing between 63% and 300% the past three quarters, sales growing between 24% and 85% the past eight quarters, a ROE of 16%, 12% debt, a timeliness rating of C, a composite rating of 94, an SMR rating of A, an EPS rating of 98, and a group RS rating of 96. Management still owns 57% of the shares outstanding so it is quite obvious that they have a very heavy vested interest in this stock. This heavy ownership is a clear indication that the insiders want to be long their stock as they expect some big gains and want to reap the reward of their smart/hard work. Cut your loss with a close below the 32.61 level, if the stock does not move higher immediately.

adding to existing speculative Featured long position: TRUE

TRUE is breaking out of this recent tight-short-ascending base, on very strong volume. This stock at one point was way too thin and its price action suffered the consequence by being extremely volatile on an intraday basis. But I guess the eight mutual funds that are in this stock have decided to start accumulating more of it because starting around June this stock became even more volatile and active and is now starting to trade in a more normal fashion with identifiable candlestick price chart patterns. This stock is extremely pretty since the end of July when BOP went max green and stayed green to max green for two and a half month. After that period of nice BOP, it went yellow but stayed above the zero line showing that the stock had constant systematic buying underneath even when the accumulation stopped. Then in November BOP went max green which preceded a giant breakout on above average volume. Since the BOP went max green it has stayed that way and if this breakout follows through I would expect it will stay that way for a little while. The RS line is also leading this stock to new highs which is always a bullish technical development. The fundamentals are very strong, with EPS growing 29% and 42% the past two quarters, sales growing between from 6% to 130% the past eight quarters, a ROE of 7%, cash flow of $2.48 a share, 71% debt, an EPS growth rate of 21%, a timeliness rating of B, a composite rating of 94, an Acc/Dis rating of A+, an SMR rating of A, an EPS rating of 84, and a 2.4% dividend yield. Management still owns 18% of the shares outstanding and there are eight mutual funds that have ownership in this stock. So there is some smart money in this tiny stock that only averages 9.7k shares a day. New investors should stay away and experienced investors should use limit orders only. Cut your loss with a close below the 20.80 level, if the stock does not move higher immediately.
