AATI 3-month stock chart

Buy

19-Dec-06. I must be getting desperate. AATI has been in a downtrend for the past year; the trend line hasn't been broken, but it appears that bottom may have been reached at $5. MarketEdge says it is "oversold" and this is a "good entry point." OK, I'll bite.

  • Price momentum (PPO) — a touch negative, but ticking up
  • Trend (ADX) — weakening has stopped and buying pressure (+DI) is increasing
  • Money flow (CMF) — strong outflow is turning around
  • Relative strength (RSI) — rising in the short-term
  • Volume — holding steady

Sell

gain Bottom line
<1%

29-Dec-06. Although AATI was still a long way from my stop-loss activation price, I decided to sell today anyway. The stock is running out of steam. Although relative strength (RSI) is increasing a bit, momentum (PPO) is up, and money flow (CMF) is improving, the trend strength (ADX) is weakening. After trading costs, I will make enough profit for a cup of good coffee— which is better than a cup of hemlock.
