Buy

2 December 2009. OK, I've been suffering from seller's regret. I jumped out of Sonic at the first bump, to my increasing chagrin as the price has continued to soar. It pulled back after the recent peak, so I decided to try jumping in again.

  • Percentage price oscillator (PPO) — about to cross above the signal line again
  • Volume — up since earnings, with most higher-volume days being up-days

Based on technical analysis, MarketEdge calls SNIC a "buy" in a "strong upward trend."

9 Dec 2009. The SNIC PPO line failed to complete the cross-over above the signal line, so I closed out the position with a very small profit.
