More Top Calls From Mike
On March 30, with Salesforce.com (CRM) trading at 210.95, Mike Paulenoff wrote MPTrader members:
"The relentless stair-step decline within the Sep.-Mar. down-channel is nearing completion ahead of my expectation of a powerful upleg that revisits and takes out the ATH at 284.87."
Fast-forward to last Thursday afternoon, April 8, when CRM finally received some long-awaited price support from Wall Street.
On March 8th, when XLI was trading at 95.88, this is what Mike Paulenoff discussed with our MPTrader Members about the S&P Industrial SPDR ETF:
"In addition to the XLB (Materials SPDR), another vehicle (arguably a better one) to ride the infrastructure spending narrative, is via the XLI Industrial ETF.
Soliton (SOLY) rallied 37% in the weeks after Mike Paulenoff highlighted it for MPTrader members on March 10. Where's it headed next?
SOLY is a medical device/biotech company developing a promising product, with a 2-year chart setup that caught Mike's attention early in the year, suggesting sooner than later that price would reflect the underlying company fundamentals.
Early on March 10, with the stock at 13.
On Monday morning March 1, Mike Paulenoff alerted MPTrader members to a potential up-move in U.S. Steel (X):
"If an infrastructure plan really is doable early in the Biden Administration, and if the 440% upmove from the March 2020 low to the Jan. 2021 high has not discounted just about every conceivable growth scenario, then X is turning up into another upleg as we speak. As long as any forthcoming weakness is contained in the 16.40 to 15.
A biotech name closely monitored in our discussion room at MPTrader and that has been on Mike's radar since the stock's explosive upmove during the height of the Covid vaccine and therapeutic drug hype last July-August is Sorrento Therapeutics (SRNE).
Mike frequently discusses the technical set up in SRNE overlaid on related company news about developmental drugs in its pipeline, and its sizable and significant short position.
