Precision Drilling Daily Chart
The most important points to note in the Precision Drilling (PD) chart analysis are:
If an online trader made a buy on the breakout at $12.50, the trader must set up a stop-loss at that time. A reasonable stop-loss would be below support at $12. A stop-loss of $11.87 would represent a loss of around 5% and maybe not close enough that it would be taken out on a light test of support. Anyway, you will be around to trade another day. Risk management is an important concept in online trading. Preservation of capital is rule #1.
Precision Drilling is a leading provider of oilfield services.
Other stocks analyzed on this site include: Encana, Suncor, RioCan, BMO, Shoppers Drug Mart, Pfizer, BCE and Patriot Coal.
Investors are seeking yield. RioCan has been a favorite with institutional and individual Canadian investors.
Suncor 6-Month Daily Candlestick Chart
Major support for Suncor is at $40.00 on this daily candlestick chart. You must monitor the chart at this stage for a candlestick pattern that indicates the stock can hold this support level. The near-term trend is down: Suncor has moved below the 10 day and 20 day moving averages. Can the stock hold the 40 day moving average?
Please reference the the March 11, 2011 weekly chart of Suncor for another perspective.
The February 6, 2011 chart shows Suncor struggling at the $40 level which is now major support.
You must always trade in the direction of the trend, and the major trend is up for RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust. All the real estate invest trusts (REITs) listed on the TSX have performed very well over the past two years.
What is the definition for the major trend? The three-year weekly candlestick chart is best for establishing the major trend (in effect for six months to a year) for a stock or an index. The major trend for RioCan is up with current resistance at $24.
