- champ: @Bob E #OT ---- $PRLB $DRN low volume stocks bother some but not others...high volume stocks can really zig-zag..$AMD $RENN.....It depends on the stock and the reason (News) you are holding a position...and it really depends on what you think. $TRHC...started out as a really low volume stock, when I first started posting in the forum.
- bsafriet: $PRLB. Long shares. Anybody know anything?
- champ: @bsafriet $PRLB --- Very nice ...I don't see any news but this stock is extremely strong....Growth Stock....this is one of those stocks with small volume and not many seller....it has great momentum. I would be trailing with bracketed profit saving stops. Had a few buyer on the 1 minute chart that totaled 4,585 shares, this morning. This is a #breakout....could be...suppliers, employees and or customers buying the stock...something trigger this today.
- bsafriet: @champ $PRLB #breakout Hi Champ! I’ll let you know if I figure this one out — all I got for now is traders were buying shares today (I know, kinda lame). Txs for the advice for stop placement. Good to hear from you! Best wishes.
- champ: @bsafriet $PRLB #breakout --- Everything I see is positive, they have had nice growth because of manufacturing acquisitions....I'm guessing this could be customers buying because they like what they see, I'm guessing...but I'm sure traders are in this stock also, on this breakout....Take Care.....LOL.

I’m just sorry that I didn’t jump back in with $GUSH $ERX. My only loser today was $TWTR, but re-entered after the turn. Didn’t have any oil service companies at the open today, but did pick-up some $WFT for a swing trade. Re-entered $APA and $HES, Added to $EOG, new positions in $FANG and $MRO. STO calls on my long shares of $MSFT and $MU, picked up some $INTC as it moved up into the gap, and re-entered $PRLB after it filled the gap. Held over my long calls in $IWM and $STMP. Busy but profitable day — hope yours was as well.

This looks like $SGH, $ETSY, $PRLB and even $TWTR. All have been bouncing down the lane like a kid bowling with gutter guards. Eventually, they will break out.
- DAN: @shoredriver 2532 is the 2018 low from February. I could see that happening. If that's his downside level, then what he's really calling for is another 5% drop in the S&P..which would essentially mean that 2018 would be a flat year of consolidation...which might be a top...or just a higher base. Very important to focus much less on the overall market, and more on the stocks that you own, or want to buy. Stocks are down today. If you've got a stock that's up, then you're in the right places. Look at $ATHM, $CPRT, $DOCU, $ICUI, $ALGN, $TWTR, $PRLB. They're all up today. So you know where money is flowing into. Those are some of the stocks you should be owning (lmany of them are already on the GSL)

Sold off 2/3 of my position yesterday and it reverses upward in the next trading session. Stupid dragon fly killed me the first try on this company. I am done with this POS.

- sierramp: $PRLB I bought yesterday on break above D50 but after today's pullback and very low volume I'm thinking this might be more of a zig-zag play. I thought there might be less red and more green after $HPE Innovation Summit announcing it's fusion 3D printing with $PRLB and others.

- Ottawagreg: $PRLB I am in a 3/4 position and holding a small 2% profit on the trade. Stock is down today and that makes it 3 out of the last four days. It seems to be slipping. Are there any thought on this company in our group? the price is at $123.15 and the 50 MA is at $120.30.
- sierramp: @Ottawagreg $PRLB I am in the boat with you. I have 5% profit on first add but only a fraction on the rest. I have a stop just above my more recent add. Have to say I don't like the lower high put in last week. Fundies are impressive though and IBD ranks it #1 in the group with a 95 composite rating. I bought it for the 3D printing quick turnaround. That story hasn't changed. No ER risk. It tends to drop below the D50 every month or so. If you get out you can keep it on your radar to buy back closer to that.
- Ottawagreg: @sierramp $PRLB #1 just stopped out at 1.5% profit. I don't want to give anything back. Thanks for advice. That is the trick isn't it? To keep things on the radar so one does not miss out. Oh well I start looking for the next trade.
- sierramp: @Ottawagreg $PRLB #1 Stopped out too for small profit. As @Dan recommended, it's probably a good one to trade around a core. I'm going to set an alert for 119.11 and see what I think then.
- DAN: Proto Labs ($PRLB) is up 40% since we put this on the Growth Stock List in November. I'd suggest taking 1/2 off the table now. The stock is still in consolidation and may ultimately move higher. But 40% in less than 6 months is a really good trade, and you've got to respect the market. If you sell half, then even if you rode the stock all the way down to the $86 entry, you'd still have a 20% profit on the entire trade. By the way, there's nothing wrong with selling the entire position; but I've said that selling everything at one time is essentially calling the top of a stock, which is difficult to do. So I'm managing risk here -- the risk of giving back a good profit vs. the risk of missing out on more profits. Sell at least half of your position. --Dan
- sierramp: @Ottawagreg $PRLB I had no idea it would drop below the D50 today! I'm not going to be the first one out of the foxhole though unless something dramatic changes today.
