Date updated:06-20-2009

Portfolio with stocks bought according to Nicolas Darvas' trading strategy (Darvas Boxes). The idea is to buy a stock that is going to break through the top of the current box which should be the same as the stock's all time, or at least 52-week, high.

The stock reached a new all-time high on May 12 (38,28). A box was established when the stock didn't breach that mark and a bottom was created in the same manner (ca 34). The stock bounced within the box until June 16 when a new all-time high was marked at 39,58. As the stock had not falled back into the box in the following day, I bought.

This stock has just got my attention. Since May the volume has increased largely and the stock has passed its old all-time high marks from 2003 & 2005. There has just been a break out with the peak at the close mark at 21,76 from the box 17,55/21,33 and I intend to buy. If it does not establish over the box and falls back, dismiss this stock for the moment.

This stock is showing strength by not falling back into the box it broke out of. Hopefully, the stock will establish a new box, in which it can bounce, to then again break the roof and advance. If it does not, HMS is not what I had hoped for.
