Quick post highlighting a stock trading idea near its all time high. Overall HAWK – Blackhawk Networks looks very constructive. The chart displays a thrusting move and a triangle consolidation right below the all time highs. Technically speaking the trend leading into the triangle pattern should resume soon. That would give us a likely target around 31 – 32$. Earnings are due in October so a breakout into new highs would be supply demand induced. Such a situation where a stock moves due pattern pressure and supply demand imbalances is sometimes preferable. It significantly reduces being at the mercy of news induced moves. I bought an initial position.

The less I cared about whether or not I was wrong, the clearer things became, making it much easier to move in and out of positions, cutting my losses short to make myself mentally available to take the next opportunity. – Mark Douglas
