Tuesday Morning Thread

Gator's Chart of the Day: JBHT
I looked at over 200 charts Monday night and this was the most attractive (from a long perspective) one I found.  They just reported good earnings with a beat on both top and bottom so that is not a near term concern.  Volume has been above the 50 day average both before and after earnings but today's bar is a little shorter than Friday's.

I think the better entry is on a pull back to the 20 day sma but if you just have to buy something a small position in JBHT should be OK.  Just keep a stop under the previous day's low in case buyers have got all they want for now.

Remember, cash is a position too.  Right now it might be the best one.
