As seen in Figure 7.22, the price is about to cross over the EMA giving a buy signal and the MACD looks like it is about to cross, which indicates an impending upward trend. Also, the stochastic oscillator just went over 80% for fast, and the slow, more reliable oscillator is increasing and about to get to 80 percent. For these reasons, 2,000 shares were bought at $37.17 apiece. The stock was then sold on March 14 at a price of $38.18 a share to give a net gain of $2,000.
