Making a Quick Buck off Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO)
Posted on: Feb 5th, 2009 | By Charles Delvalle | Filed under Chart of the Day
I hate Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO) as much as the next Google-loving fan boy does. But that doesn’t mean that I won’t at least look for a way to make a quick buck off of them.
Lo and behold, I ran across this chart…
Notice how Yahoo couldn’t pass around $13.50 in December and January? Also, take a look at the Slow Stochastic (at the bottom of the chart). When Yahoo peaked in December and January, the Slow Stochastic peaked near 80.
Technical charting is all about discovering previous patterns that have a high likelihood of repeating in the future. This is one of those patterns.
Today, the stock is at its resistance line AND the Slow Stochastic is peaking around 80. There is a high-probability that the pattern we saw the last two times (a drop in stock price) happens again this time.
That would mean selling Yahoo shares short or buying a put option could be an extremely profitable move.
