(Core Labs--$140.53; -0.52; optionable): Oil and gas service company. Splits July 8.
EARNINGS: 07/19/2010
STATUS: ABCD. Sold back Friday but held the 50 day EMA on the low and bounced to cut the losses. Still a very nice pattern and moved the buy point to accommodate this further test. To recap: CLB is a clear leader in the oil and gas service sector. It was trending higher when it gapped upside on its earnings report. It rallied further on that news and then needed a test. It has come back the past three weeks, stair-stepping back in a nice ABCD pattern, tapping the 50 day EMA on the D point last week in that selloff. CLB bounced modestly, and was testing a bit lower Thursday. Going to be patient and let CLB rebound and show us the new break higher. A move through the buy point that holds to the close is the trigger to enter the move higher.
