It was a difficult day on Wall Street on Tuesday, with a very nasty slide in the morning. They did bring back the markets, but still finished lower. I’m not enamored with that rally. I think that there is still a possibility that if we don’t follow through with that rally and rollover, we’re going perhaps substantially lower in the next few days. For now, let’s take a look at some longs and shorts that have been highlighted here.
Advaxis, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADXS), a stock that we like, is really looking good suddenly. On the deal with Amgen Inc. (NASDAQ:AMGN) on Tuesday, it exploded 2.61 to 11.08, or 31%, on 6.4 million shares. That’s the biggest volume for quite a while. It broke out of a base, through the declining topsline and moving average, in one fell swoop. The near-term target is 12.90-13 range, and the 14 1/2-3/4. It has 12.9 days to cover.
Xencor, Inc. (NASDAQ:XNCR) looks really good. Going back to Nov of last year, this stock based, broke out, popped, coiled, and on Tuesday it was down slightly, but moved up couple of points in after hours. I think this stock may have a shot at getting into the mid 20s. It has 5.35 days to cover.
Stocks on the Short Side…
L Brands, Inc. (NYSE:LB) worked out very well for us back in March-April, then dropped about 25 points in a four-week period, formed a 3-wave corrective ID, moved to resistance, and is now waiting for the next leg down that could conceivably take this into the low-to-mid 50s.
Red Robin Gourmet Burgers Inc. (NASDAQ:RRGB) got hit on Tuesday for another 2.08 to 46.36, or 4%, on 200,100 shares traded. It’s right on support and seems like it’s going to crack. I’m looking for a test of 40.
