Introduction
Last night, the world celebrated the sun completing one more revolution around the Earth. Despite the similarity of this point in the sun’s revolution to anything other point, people sat down, reflected on the past year, and made decisions for the future. One group that has been hit harder than many other this past year is oil companies. After peaking at more than $100 per barrel in mid-2014, oil prices began fall hard to an early 2016 low of less than $30 per barrel. Even with 2016 as the best year for oil prices since 2009, oil prices are still less than 60% of their mid-2014 highs.

canadian stocks: Liquidity Services Inc.(LQDT)
Advisors’ Opinion:
- [By Jon C. Ogg]
Liquidity Services Inc. (NASDAQ: LQDT) was raised to Buy from Underperform, and the price target was raised up to $45 from $28.50, at Merrill Lynch.
- [By Roberto Pedone]
Liquidity Service (LQDT) is an online auction marketplace for surplus and salvage assets. This stock closed up 14.9% at $34.44 in Monday’s trading session.
Monday’s Volume: 1.60 million
Three-Month Average Volume: 402,622
Volume % Change: 336%
From a technical perspective, LQDT skyrocketed higher here right off its 50-day moving average of $30.94 with strong upside volume. This move briefly saw shares of LQDT trend back above its 200-day moving average at $34.60, before it closed just below that level at $34.44. Shares of LQDT are now quickly moving within range of triggering a big breakout trade. That trade will hit if LQDT manages to take out Monday’s intraday high of $35.21 and then once it clears some more near-term overhead resistance at $35.71 with high volume.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in LQDT as long as it’s trending above $32.67 or above $31.60 and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 402,622 shares. If we get that breakout soon, then LQDT will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $38 to $40.90.
