COTD: $WLK -- Looking for $110
Note: Trading is easier when there are few setups...because you don’t trade as much. And that’s easy.
$SPY -- 50-day MA support
$DJI -- Still squeezing. You had to know that this “breakout” w ... - bRobert: $DWDP . $CC .$WLK + Chemical reaction
- sierramp: @bRobert $DWDP $CC $WLK Good fundies on $WLK
- sierramp: @bRobert mentioned $WLK this morning. It has nice fundamentals, ER 2-19 so not too close. Breaking out from flag. I added.
- woodman: @sierramp $WLK - I mentioned it a few times over last couple weeks. Robert has been mentioning $CC.
- sierramp: @woodman $WLK $CC Thank you for pointing that out. Very prescient on your part, appreciate it.
- bRobert: @woodman $WLK $CC You get the commission on the sale. :)
- Trixie: $OLN, and $WLK, I'm sure there are others out there too.. I admit these are a bit far gone on the day.. however they look to have less pointy bottoms to me. $WLK now over the 50ma 1st time in a long time $OLN reasonable consol for abouta month.. then pushoff and a rest..
- woodman: @bRobert $CC - and $WLK.
- woodman: @Trixie $OLN $WLK - pointy bottoms must be uncomfortable, particularly compared to rounded ones.
- bRobert: @woodman $CC $WLK They were twins separated at birth. So sad
- woodman: @bRobert $HUN - $CC and $WLK too. Also $VHI (low volume stock).
- bRobert: @woodman $HUN $CC $WLK Holding $CC . $SHW set up $KRO . another titanium paint company $DWDP . bottomed. Dividend
- woodman: @bRobert $HUN $CC $WLK $SHW $KRO $DWDP - $KRA too. Seems to be a pattern in the #chemicals #specialtychemicals space(s).
- bRobert: @woodman $HUN $CC $WLK $SHW $KRO $DWDP $KRA #chemicals #specialtychemicals Yes . they all shop at the same store.
- woodman: @bRobert $CC $DWDP - and $WLK in the #SpecialtyChemicals space.
- woodman: #SpecialtyChemicals - $WLK $CC $AXTA (but losing steam) $OLN (same) $KRA (trying) - these are making moves (or trying to in the case of KRA) above their 50 days for the first time in a long time.
- bRobert: $WLK another good chem name ZIG from bottom of channel.
- spmeyers: $MTCH still strong; also pretty good: $WLK
- woodman: $WLK - continues to make new highs out of consolidation.
- woodman: @bRobert $URI $CAT $DE - ... also, $WLK. But it is due to report this month. I don't believe there's a confirmed date, however.
- woodman: $WLK back on track.
- Workinman: @woodman $WLK Happy to see it. I filled out my position during its little excursion to the 20dma.
- woodman: @Workinman $WLK - that's when I entered.
- woodman: $WLK - pulled back with a hammer and close just above the 21dEMA on 1/18. It's been resuming the uptrend since then; back above the 8dEMA today.
- woodman: $WLK - bought it on the bounce off VWAP.
- woodman: $WLK - stalking this one. It doesn't pullback much.
- bRobert: $WLK My favorite chem. nh . A very impressive set of charts. Great holding stock.
- bRobert: $WLK My best chemical employee nh Great holding stock. Rarely a pullback
- Sher: @bRobert $WLK - Mirror image of TRN!
- optionswealth: @bRobert $WLK It's due for one. Look how far extended above the 200 dsma and how high the MACD line is above zero. Not saying it couldn't give more, but... It sure has been a good employee.
- bRobert: $WLK $100 weekly target made. Raised stops
-
rachel: ...
2. $WLK – Strong upside momentum. Extended…and it’s in the chemical sector. Not a super high growth industry.
3. $ALB -- 50ema (135) seems to be holding as support after recent pullback. Trying to decide if to buy the dip once i ... - Ottawagreg: $WLK I was stopped out at 3% drop this morning. The stock has recovered some, only down 1.22% now. I guess I will sit tight and protect capital, but I wish I was still in it. 13% return on that position. When one has a good profit in a position is 3% too tight? I fear the 5 and 6% drop, and lose 40 or 50% of the profit. Oh well I will look for another trade.
- Ottawagreg: $WLK I really should have bought double the shares of what I did when it was at $80. Or added at $85. OH well. Hope it goes to a hundo now.
- bRobert: $WLK Squeeze bo day 2.. Long calls
- bRobert: $wlk squeeze breakout on earnings.
- bRobert: $WLK Target $100. Long calls
- Ottawagreg: $WLK undaunted by the beating about the head and face I took on Kemet the other day, I held Westlake Chemicals through this morning ER and it turned out well. Up today 5.6% and 13.20% overall. Actually I missed that little detail and forgot to close out 50% before the report. So I got that going for me. Thank you Lord.
- bRobert: $SQM . $WLK tight squeeze
- bRobert: $WLK tight squeeze
- bRobert: $WLK . $MEOH . $HUN WLK . trying to peek out. MEOH bounce off support FARO . nice earnings bounce HUN working . along with KRO TROX
- Bridget: $WLK looks good here on this breakout. But I'm still not seeing volume on this move.
- debeers: $WLK-Almost as big a polluter as ~$CC. Vinyl manufacturing fumes can kill you but the regs have been removed just like its BFF $CC and will try furiously to catch up. Today caught two upgrades on the recognition of this fact.
- bRobert: $CC . $WLK breakout continues . CC target $65 . WLK Long term target . $!00
- issues: @bRobert $WLK Congrads Rob. That's the perfect trade/investment. You bought right at the BO and rode up, it never touched the 20 day, and now are ready to take profits. This is such a perfect trade, I would consider holding as a LTH. Instead of stopping out as those prices you listed, perhaps they would be good points to add. Whadda' thunk?
- bRobert: $WLK Raising trailing stops. Strong as death. Target $94+
- issues: @bRobert $WLK Is your stop at $81 or what?
- bRobert: @issues $WLK Put a ruler under the uptrend. Never even touched the 20d. PARTIAL position stop at $82.90 . Rest at 80.90. Cost basis $70. Tempted to sell partial now but decided on tighter stop.
- bRobert: $CC $WLK $DWDP $MEOH Good chemical reaction
- bRobert: $CC $WLK Watching CC ascending triangle. WLK coming in a bit to offer better opportunity to add soon. Long term hold
- bRobert: $Wlk Continues breakout. Weekly has much higher targets
- Bridget: #Notes: $ADSK - gap and run, but now consolidating above squeeze $MRVL - gap and run on earnings $AVGO - failed breakout, now breaking lower $CRM - another new high $WLK - working but too late to enter here $FXE - breakout on volume $TSCO - inverse head and shoulders $VZ - in a squeeze $DPZ - breaking down. weekly topping pattern $JD - failed at 50dMA, now moving lower $TAL $WB - topping $EDU - pulled back to 50dMA $HCC - ipo new high
- JJT1: $WLK VS Breakout np
- JJT1: $WLK $EMN $MLM $WLK I sold as chart started looking bad today and did not want to go from green to red so sold Jan 55 calls for small profit. $EMN also looks bad but missed top earlier today will monitor now. 50 day is piercing lower BB so thinking may be bounce. Hopium? $MLM even more painful but right at 50 day SMA. More hopium? Need to learn to be more merciless on losers.
- JJT1: $EMN $WLK Two chemical stocks breaking out above upper BB.
- shoredriver:
- JJT1: $WLK $MLM couple trades. $WLK 4 red candles, but today green Hammer at support. Jan 55calls. $MLM little early as expect a P&F double top breakout. Jan 230 calls
- traderbren: @Forexpro $DEPO $ESNT $WGO $CGNX $SLCA $WNR $PVH $WB $WLK $PKG -- thanks for posting the results from your initial scan. I look forward to seeing what passes through the sieve after you've fine tuned the list and checked the fundies. As for this evenings news, I received a blurb on Comey's decision from Reuters on my phone and figured the E-mini futures would pop as a result. Let's see what the morrow brings....and Tuesday, and ultimately Wednesday for that matter! Hope all is well, and you are enjoying Worden! ;-)

Again, these are, roughly speaking, stocks that were performing well and that during the recent deluge pulled back, but without breaking what I identified as support. They also have at least average grades for fundamental performance. The ... - JJT1: $WDFC This may be better breakout from winner's circle. Chemicals doing well $WLK $RPM
- champ: $AXLL at $32.48 up $6.63 - I had a post on this stock a couple of days ago on M&A and $WLK acquire all for $3.8b in the PM
- champ: $AXLL at HOD double volume ----M&A going on and has received 2 bids...one from $WLK and the other from Lotte Chemicals never hear of them for $2.6b today ....posted by WSJ ....new Spec swing long at $25.50.

- woodman: @ginny $WLK - made my specialty chems list last week. I set an alert at $79, which it hit briefly last week (though I didn't buy it), or would consider a pullback to test the 200 day with a bounce. No position currently.
- Bridget: $WLK fell today after earnings but bounced really nicely off the 290MA. This stock moves really well. Might look to get in tomorrow.
- pcotton: #scanResults - #penaltybox - smaller list excluding energy. $CX $DDD $FCX $FTK $GTLS $HCLP $IMGN $KEX $MBT $MRC $QIWI $SODA $WAC $WLK $XOOM $YNDX
- pcotton: #scanResults #LowerRightCorner @dunsek @GreenGhost @TunaHelper - my own contribution to this topic based on 1st draft of new scan. Thanks dunsek, some interesting and used those to help develop scan. I missed some of dunsek's because I required a 20% decline. Hey Tuna, I used average of on-balance volume to help validate. Vertical list follows to enable copy to spreadsheet. A lot of energy names, not surprising. $BRGYY $CAM $CIE $CJES $CLB $CLR $CNQ $DDD $EPE $ERF $FET $GPRE $GTLS $HAL $HCLP $IMGN $LPI $MBT $MRC $MRO $NR $OAS $PEIX $PTEN $QIWI $RES $SLCA $SODA $STO $TK $TRGP $TS $UPL $WLK $WPX $YNDX BRGYY CAM CIE CJES CLB CLR CNQ DDD EPE ERF FET GPRE GTLS HAL HCLP IMGN LPI MBT MRC MRO NR OAS PEIX PTEN QIWI RES SLCA SODA STO TK TRGP TS UPL WLK WPX YNDX
- Bridget: Stocks that I am bullish on that I think are at or near good entry points. Probably wait till Monday though to take action instead of before the weekend. $HACK, $EW $VSLR $WLK $GPRO $DLTR $VRX and $YY.
- Bridget: Bought $MDXG today and looking to buy $WLK this afternoon. both are still holding their gaps from Tuesday.
- msb: $WLK - breaking out of an IHS
- beld: $TRN $UA $SWKS took positions with idea of adding if goes further down. Already have position in UA. GTC orders to sell $WLK and $PSX if go lower or if price moves up to a moving ave. on the 15 min.
- LMReeder: $WLK VSBO today, nice steady up trender, Earnings ~8/4
- Neil375: $AGU Agrium Looks like it's trying to put in a bottom. Stochasics crossing in oversold. Bullish candle on Friday and a Doji froming today. Just below the 200 and looks like a low risk entry. Some of the chemical companies are also looking bullish today. $MON, $LYB,$ASH and$WLK.
- Neil375: $ASH - Ashland - Good morning. The last few days I've been remiss in checking my scans. So, I'm late to the party. However these chemical company stocks are working. A couple more - $WLK, $LYB and $CLMT.
