HW has been trading mostly sideways for all of 2014. During that time, the stock has run up against a very strong resistance at $14 (blue). The stock is now starting to look like it wants to test the $14 level again, and may be looking to finally break thru that $14 resistance. That break would also constitute a new 52-week high.

The Tale of the Tape: HW has a 52-week resistance at $14. The possible long position for the stock would be on a breakout above $14.
