Admiring the Symmetry in Eggs – Calmine
- Posted by Greg Harmon
- on December 10th, 2014
Eggs are not a perfect round sphere. They are oblong ellipses. But there is beauty in that shape. Symmetry of a simple ellipse no matter how you rotate it. Perhaps better than a sphere. Noticeable.
One company that sells eggs, Calmine, $CALM. And it has that same symmetry in it s chart of the stock price. The chart shows a symmetrical triangle pattern building. This pattern looks for a move equal to the wide end of the triangle on a break out in either direction.
A 12 to 13% move. But which direction? That is the beauty of the pattern. You do not know and you do not care. The momentum indicators do not give a clue. The RSI is running along the mid line and the MACD is flat. Once it does break then you can just follow along with a long or short trade.
Be prepared. There is a catalyst as they report earnings December 23rd, but it looks like it may not wait that long.
