This is typical of pharma stocks. It's almost impossible for tech analysis to predict those moves, good or ill ... sort of a crap shoot. So imho it's best to keep them out of mechanical trading focus lists. I'll very likely be coming out with a suite of Scans that deal with this and other "personality" features, later this year. | |
