HPQ Watch

Hewlett-Packard Co., HPQ, is showing a Parabolic SAR bull signal, and I like it!

At $53.71, it's just above the previous higher reversal level, and if it breaks through, the next higher reversal level is at about $60, set way back in 1999.

HPQ $53.71

The stock has been rising since Feb. 5, today's signal comes after a two-day bear whipsaw, and so it is with the trend.

What's not to like?


Well, the earnings release is one thing. The company announces earnings on May 18, before the May options expire. And that makes things prone to news surprises and earnings surprises.

I don't like surprises, unless they rebound to my profit, of course. Also, technically, the MACD really isn't reflecting the Parabolic SAR bull signal very aggressively. That's a point of worry.

You are here:
  • Reversal
    • $60, +11.7%
  • Now $53.71
  • Reversal
