Chart of Intrepid Potash -IPI
Intrepid Potash Inc -IPI, one of the recent Agriculture IPOS. The stock bounced from the lower trendline marked with dotted red lines. We need to see if it can afford to hold this level. If it does, it will be a good long. If it breaks, the dotted red line, it heads to low 40s.
I have been actively trading for the past 3 years. After 2 years of struggling with stocks, I reached an inflection point in October 2006 and have been making good profits since then. I learnt that identifying trends early and focusing on the fundamentally best stocks in that trend is very important. Moreover just fundamentals are not good enough. You need to complement that with good Technical Analysis to pick great entry points and exits. They say a picture speaks a thousand words and I strongly believe in that. I use trendlines, Fibonacci and Elliott Wave theories as part of my TA tool sets. Last but not the least, one needs to keep accurate trading records and have a sound money management system to succeed.
