I’m probably more excited about my pick up in Church & Dwight this morning than any other stock I’ve bought in quite some time. In fact if it goes well… and that’s a big if in  the market these days, I wouldn’t mind holding on to this stock for an extended period of time – say weeks or months. 

It’s breaking out perfectly today, and managed to get in at $53.95, using a stop loss of $52.81 and a target of $60 or higher (I prefer higher). 

Here’s the short-term trend of the stock and pattern I’m getting in on:

Now  when you look at that, you may say “I come across a dozen of those patterns every day” – but do you see a long-term trend that accompanies it as well?

I didn’t think so!
