Trade of the Day: Wait for a Pullback in St. Jude Medical

St. Jude Medical Inc. (STJ) — This medical equipment company that designs, manufactures and distributes medical devices for heart-related and neurological conditions, has been in a bear market since January 2004.

On April 24, at just over $34, I wrote, “Since December, STJ has been forming a bullish right triangle, and a breakout through the 200-day moving average just above $37 would change the trend to bullish and set a new price objective to $53.”

And, on June 8, I said, “STJ has successfully broken out from its right triangle, and I’ll stick with the target of $53.”

The target of $53 is still there, but we may get a pullback to $38, which would give us another opportunity to buy shares of this bullish stock in a defensive sector.
