+8% Trade on POT
by Mike Paulenoff
April 23, 2016 • 2:06 AM EDT
In his chart analysis of Potash (POT) on April 13, Mike noted that POT appears to be in the early stages of a rally that will challenge the March 7 high at 19.38 into key trendline and EMA resistance at 20.20/90 in the upcoming days.
On top of the strong techincal trend off the January 26 low of 14.64, he saw that POT could benefit from stronger energy, a softer USD, and recovering commodity prices in general.
So Mike added POT as a swing trade set-up on April 13 at 16.61 and added to the position on April 15 at 16.32.
He exited 1/2 the position at 17.51 on April 19 and the second 1/2 at 18.05 on April 21, for a gain of 8% on the average entry and exit prices.

Back on July 17, with ARKK trading at 44.22, Mike Paulenoff commented:
ARKK (Cathie Wood ARK Innovation Fund) ... my attached 4 Hour Chart shows the price structure has carved out a May-July Rounded Bottom formation that is putting upward pressure on a key resistance zone from 46.70 to 48.12, and if hurdled, will trigger upside projections to 58-60...
Since then ARKK in fact climbed to a new 7-week recovery high at 49.
