Plug Power (NASDAQ: PLUG): Pattern Predicts This $5 Stock Will Soar More Than 150%

Plug Power (NASDAQ: PLUG) is nothing if not volatile. The company, which makes fuel cell systems, went public in 1999 at $15. At the height of the tech bubble in 2000, shares hit an all-time peak near $150, up nearly 10-fold in less than five months.

The stock crashed and burned as the bubble burst, falling below $5 in late 2002. By May 2011, with shares near $0.50, management decided to do a 1:10 reverse split to maintain its Nasdaq listing and make shares more attractive. This put the stock in the low single digits, but the slide continued until PLUG hit an all-time low of $0.12 in February 2013.

To lucky shareholders' delight, the stock then began a rapid advance, surging nearly 10,000% to a high of $11.72 in March of this year. (more)

The company acts as an investment adviser for institutional and other private investors, and provides sub advisory services to other investment companies; underwrites and distributes registered open-end mutual fund portfolios; and offers fee-based asset allocation investment advisory products to advisors channel customers.
Take a look at the 1-year chart of Waddel (Nasdaq: WDR) below with my added notations:

WDR has formed a relatively clear down-channel chart pattern over the last 8 months. A channel is simply formed through the combination of a trend line support that runs parallel to a trend line resistance. When it comes to channels, remember that any (3) points can start the channel, but a 4th point or more confirms it. You can see that WDR has several points of channel resistance (blue) and support (red).

The Tale of the Tape: WDR has formed a common pattern known as a channel, in this case a down channel. A long trade could be entered on a pullback down to the channel support, or on a break through the channel resistance, which is currently sitting near $50. Short opportunities would be on rallies up to channel resistance or on a break of channel support.

Ekso Bionics Inc. (OTC:EKSO): A $20 stock by 2020?

There’s a lot happening with Ekso Bionics Inc. (OTC:EKSO), our “Human Augmentation” frontrunner. And I’d like to bring you up to speed on the latest developments.
First, the fact that a lot is happening is, in and of itself, a great thing.
Over the years I’ve seen a lot of potentially great companies get off to a good start, but then fall flat because “nothing happened.” These companies don’t set out to fail; it’s just that they haven’t got the management, the funding, and, most importantly, the client base needed to succeed. (more)

Take a look at the 1-year chart of Whole Foods (Nasdaq: WFM) below with the added notations:

WFM has had a rough go of it for most of the year. Since the low in July, the stock appears to have formed a double bottom (green) price pattern. The pattern is as simple as it sounds: Bottoming, rallying up to a point, selling back off to a similar bottom, and then rallying back up again.
As with any price pattern, a confirmation of the pattern is needed. WFM would confirm the pattern by breaking up through the $40 resistance (blue) that has been created by the double bottom pattern.

The Tale of the Tape: WFM has formed a double bottom price pattern. A long trade could be entered on a break above the $40 resistance with a stop placed under that level. Traders that are bearish on the stock could short the stock at $40.
