LO Watch

The tobacco company Lorillard Inc. (LO) has moved to bear phase on Person's Proprietary Signal and has dropped to within 1% of the 20-day moving average.

LO $80.55

On Wednesday I wrote of LO, "I like it best best on a retracement below 80.76, which is 1% above the 20-day moving average. But I'd take it on a push above the $83.03 high."

The break to within 1% of the 20-day moving average has happened, meeting my initial criteria. However, some words to live by: Don't buy into a falling stock. It will ruin your week.

So, for my own account, I would open a bull position on LO upon one of these events: 1) A move back above 1% from the 20-day moving average, 2) a decisive bull phase from the fast stochastic, or 3) a whipsaw back to bull phase on Person's Proprietary Signal.
