To review Southern’s stock, please take a look at the 1-year
chart of SCCO (Southern Copper Corporation) below with my added
notations:
SCCO has been in a persistent downtrend since January of this
year. During that time the stock has also formed an important trend line
of resistance (red). Always remember, any (2) points can start a trend
line, but it’s the 3rd test and beyond that confirm its importance. As
you can see, SCCO’s trendline was very important. Now that the stock has
broken that resistance SCCO should either move higher or begin to form a
base.
The Tale of the Tape: SCCO has broken a
downtrending resistance. The stock should be bottoming out and
eventually moving higher. Now would be a good time to watch the stock to
identify a key level of entry, like for example, on a pullback down to
$26.

We just recently Money Weekly‘s first birthday, and this milestone also got me thinking… If I had a magic wand and could instantly pass along a bundle of critical information to my peers,
what would that message include? Since I don’t have a magic wand, I had
to distill a bit of my practical wisdom down to five points (no easy
task).
