New Split Plays
| ACAI - Atlantic Coast Airlines $46.38 +2.44 |
Ladies and Gentlemen, ACAI continues its ascent for the following
reasons: First, soaring energy prices, one of the biggest
expenses for airlines, have pulled back and appear to be
stabilizing. Secondly, the company announced a 2:1 split on
January 25th. The split will be made payable on February 23rd.
The stock did not immediately lift off following the split
announcement, however, because Salomon Smith Barney downgraded the
stock to "outperform" from "buy" right after the announcement.
With any luck, the good analysts at SSB are kicking themselves
now. Today, ACAI soared to a new high after breaking out of a
flag pattern. Today's volume of just over 589,900 was more than
three times the three-month average daily volume of 190,000.
Despite the recent gains, look for momentum traders to drive the
stock higher for the next couple of days. The MACD is positive
and rising and the Money Flow is making new highs. Perhaps the
key indicator that supports the possibility for a continued
advance is the RSI, which has room to run before indicating an
overbought condition. As long as the stock does not gap up more
than three points on the open, aggressive traders can probably
jump on board.
