How To Invest In Stocks In Both Bull And Bear Markets
Dun & Bradstreet broke out earlier, but has fallen back below the prior 12.74 entry from a cup with handle. If a stock you're watching climbs above a buy point then declines 7% or more below the original entry price, it's considered a failed base. It's best to wait for the stock to form a new base and breakout. Also understand that the latest pattern is a later-stage base, and those involve more risk.
Dun & Bradstreet showed 0% EPS growth last quarter, while sales growth came in at 4%.
