Buy Tesla While It's On Sale

Some stocks are considered good values, with attractive fundamental metrics such as a low P/E ratio, a low price-to-book ratio, etc. Some stocks are great technical plays, forming bullish double-bottom or cup-and-handle chart patterns.
Then there are some stocks that power higher because they have a genius CEO who brought a product to market at just the right time.
Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA) is one of the latter, and in my judgment, you'd be crazy not to own the stock at current levels.  (more)

To review Anacor’s stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of ANAC (Anacor Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of ANAC (Anacor Pharmaceuticals, Inc.)
After forming a clear double top (green), ANAC confirmed that pattern when it broke below the $16 (blue) support. The expectation would have been for a bigger fall than just down to $14, but now the stock has broken back above $16. Higher prices should follow, most likely a run back up to at least the $18 (red) resistance.

The Tale of the Tape: ANAC is back above $16. A long trade could be made on a pullback to $16 with a stop loss placed under that level. A break back below $16 would be an opportunity to get short the stock.

Cotton Forming A Base And Is Ready To Go

This has so far been the year for agricultural commodities. If you’ve been in this space and stayed away from the US stock market, you’ve been doing great. Good for you. But either way, I think Cotton is worth taking a look at. This nice long base we’ve seen Cotton build over the last few years could be the catalyst to take this much higher. Some of it’s colleagues like Coffee, for example, have been on fire. I think this one can join the party.
The first chart shows a nice big base developing over the past few years. After an asset crashes like Cotton did in 2011, the only medicine is time (i.e. Tech after 2000). This base is exactly what was needed:
4-22-14 ct weekly
Now with those key resistance levels in mind, let’s call it 94-ish, take a look at this daily line chart. This is where we’ve been running into trouble for some time. But as always, the more times that a level is tested, the higher the likelihood that it breaks. This is the 4th test in a little over a year and 5th since 2012.  (more)
