CRM was added as a long-term swing short candidate back on April 4th at a split adjusted price of 41.78.  The stock made a large gap up today following their earning release which bring the stock just above one of the suggested stop areas.  In that original post, a stop around the 48.40 level (around 3% above the previous split-adjusted highs) for those targeting T3 and more aggressive or more liberal stops for those targeting the earlier or final target (T4).  At that time my preferred target was T3 but with my current expectations for considerable downside in the broad markets [...]

The CRM short trade had a 4 for 1 stock split on Thursday so I've updated both the daily & weekly charts, including the price targets, to reflect the split adjusted prices.  Also note that since the previous post and short entry on April 4th, CRM did indeed break below the nearly 4 1/2 year primary uptrend line as expected.  This helps confirm the short entry based off the daily chart and makes CRM one of my favorite long-term swing trades at this time, with a potential gain of over 50% to the final weekly target (T4 at 19.25).  My preferred [...]

Although I made the decision, for various reasons, not to have an open discussion forum on this site, at least not while I continue to build it out, I do welcome feedback, questions, and trade ideas via the Contact link found under the Resources tab at the top of the page.  Last night, a follower of the site brought the recent CRM short trade, which was stopped out about a month ago, to my attention.  I had taken the stock off my radar but as Rick has pointed out to me, CRM looks as good, if not better, for a long-term [...]
