New Candidate Drops

ESRX - Express Scripts $88.13 -1.38 (-2.88)

Express Scripts took a back seat to the solid technology rally today. ESRX dipped below its 10-DMA of $88.09 intra-day, which created just enough follow through selling to trigger our $87.50 stop. ESRX has enjoyed a nice two-week comeback, and some consolidation after this move is not out of the question. If ESRX can re-establish support, we may give this split candidate another try.

Picked on January 9th @ $86.56 Profit/Loss +0.94 (1%) (Stopped Thursday @ $87.50) Best Profit +7.82 (9%)

New Momentum Drops

MSFT - Microsoft $55.63 +2.56 (+2.00)

The strong NASDAQ rally gave shares of Microsoft a nice boost into the close. We officially ended this play on the closing print due to the earnings release. After the close, MSFT reported profits of $0.47 a share, which was in line with lowered expectations. Revenues came in at $6.59 billion, which was above expectations. This positive surprise has sparked a nice rally in the shares of MSFT after the close.

Picked on January 7th @ $49.00 Profit/Loss +6.63 (14%) (Stopped Thursday @ $55.63) Best Profit +7.19 (15%)
