With my $ATPG position up roughly 8% today, the temptation is to run to the nearest bar and “start drinking at 11 a.m.,” like some washed-up mook frat boy who refers to blowing lines of cocaine as “going skiing.” Well, I have news for you: A country is defined by its culture, so quit acting like a scumbag and show some respect to society at large.
Instead of chest pounding, I want to run you through my thinking on this holding, namely why I am not taking profits just yet. As you can see in the updated 5 minute chart below, the stock has smoothly held its gains throughout today’s trading session. I see no sign of sellers loudly arguing that the move higher is unjustified. Instead, note how the issue is calmly coming to terms with the higher price, by way of orderly consolidation.
Even on a 5 minute time frame, all major moving averages are holding, and therefore, so am I.
