Interesting Charts I'm Watching

5/14/2018

Creating a scan of the markets looking for companies that are pretty sound financially as well as having pretty good estimates forward produces a number of companies worth considering. It's the fundamentals and forward estimates that direct me toward those companies that are doing well from a business sense. But as all traders know, timing is everything. And that's where the charts come in. 

Here's a selection of charts of those companies that visually caught my eye based on a scan of fundamentals. None of these are recommendations but they are companies that are doing well and are expected to do well in the future AND appear to be timely for accumulation. I'll be watching this list over the next few weeks. Each of these may end up in my portfolio.
