Centene is Bullish

147
Centene posts earnings results pre-market tomorrow

20DMA about to cross the 50DMA. Very strong bullish daily candle today closing near the highs. It's formed a clear cup & handle. Implied price target included.

Watching closely this week.

*No Position but this will have an effect on other healthcare stocks all of which had a strong day today. Humana earnings on Wednesday and Cigna next week

Note
No position. Moving to a neutral stance. I would like to see this hold the 50DMA (green line) as support before considering entry.
Trade active
Long @ 66.75 20DMA support. 1/2 position.

Let's see a 20D - 50DMA cross and move upward.
Note
On watch for adding second half.

Add to position would be at ~67.25 (50 monthly MA).
Trade active
my buy zone added for position add (daily chart).

I also just read the company's quarterly conference call transcript and they purchase 300million in stock during April in the 66s.

CFO purchased several thousand shares open market in the low 70s and CEO nailed the bottom with a 30,000 share purchase on the open market in the 62s.

Company is trying to put a floor in on the stock. If they are buying almost 1/3 billion in stock in the 66s, better believe I'm a buyer in that area as well.

Buy Zone to Add
Trade active
Auto-filled on a GTC limit order yesterday @ 67.50.

Max position: $67.13 average
Note
Full position still active here. Patiently waiting for break-out.

Stop @ 67
