UNTD sell at $6.32 - 3% profit in 4 days

A modest gain on this short term swing trade, entered last week. 3% profit in 4 days from entry on the 23rd. Volume is dropping off and the trend looks weak and uncertain. Additional technical indicators that I don't trust this trend: trading on the upper Bollinger band (I interpret this as tension to the downside will pull the stock down quickly and without warning). Plus an RSI of 84. An RSI over 80 is one of my 'possibly sell' signals. An RSI of over 90 is 'you are crazy not to sell".

What I suspect may happen here is a rest or minor drop back, which might give another re-entry point. For the  long term goal of this stock, which was a price target of $7.25 over 4-6 weeks.

UNTD buy at $6.10

This UNTD trade is based on the article here on Street Authority, which I regard as a reasonably 'hype-free' publication.

Technicals look good, with not only a dividend, but parabolic SAR showing support, EMAs flat indicating the recent sellers have tailed off. Downside risk is that that it completely breaks out downwards towards last the low of last August in the $5 range.

Target price is $7.25 over 4-6 weeks, although because of the dividend, you could feel comfortable holding this stock longer term. My buy price was just about the level the candles penetrated the lower bollinger band. Everything indicates a solid base from which to rally.
