Philip Morris International Inc. (PM: 51.82 0.00%) met our profit target today, but admittedly, the target was set too low.
The rest of the picks from yesterday are still valid.
We have one new pick for tomorrow, and that is The Blackstone Group L.P. (BX: 14.50 0.00%) .

The exit target is $17.11

Both previous CwH picks broke out and have met their target prices.

I know that there haven’t been very many cup-with-handles lately. Well there have been but the criteria I am using to find them is too specific, and needs to be relaxed.
Integral Systems, Inc. (ISYS: 9.58 0.00%) is a very nice setup. I would place a stop just below the handle low and use a [...]

There haven’t been a lot of these lately, which means the criteria may need to be loosened a bit to provide more opportunity.
Today’s CWH is an old Fly favorite, Hansen Natural Corporation (HANS: 42.20 0.00%) .

Placing a stop near $36.50 beneath the recent handle low and setting a profit target near the recent high of [...]

Well the first CWH gained 6.85%. I’m sure it is just a fluke, yet I choose to see it as a good omen.
Friday’s CWH watch is for (ISG: 18.85 0.00%) .
I’ve annotated the chart to show where I’m going to start testing for stops and profit targets.

I’m going to try using the [...]
