UVXY a volatility fund that has wrecked many accounts is set to do a reverse split next week on 1/12/2017. Since its inception, UVXY has reverse split six times, these funds typically split after a prolonged move higher in the market.

Lions Gate (LGF.B) and Potash (POT) are two stocks that are trying to emerge from bases. I'm always intrigued by bases because typically a prolonged period of contraction leads to an extended period of expansion. We have covered bases extensively here (SEE BELOW) on the blog, and they are one if not my favorite set-up.Stan Weinstein, the author of Secrets For Profiting In Bull and Bear Markets, has a great definition the "basing area," specifically the one's that are formed after several down months.The Basing Area: "After XYZ has been declining for several months, it eventually will lose downside momentum [...]
