NDW Spotlight Stock
PLSE Pulse Biosciences Inc R ($28.55) - Healthcare - PLSE is a 5 for 5'er that ranks in the top half of the favored healthcare sector matrix. In Thursday's trading PLSE reversed up $25 for the third time in the last two months, indicating strong support around this level. Long exposure may be added in the mid-to-upper $20s and we will set our initial stop at $23, a potential spread triple bottom break on PLSE's chart that would also violate its trend line. We will use the bullish price objective, $36.50, as our target price. PLSE is expected to report earnings on 8/14.
