10 Best Forestry Stocks To Own Right Now

T he Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) has withstood another challenge. The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued its opinion in the case of Matt Sissel v HHS.

Mr. Sissel is an artist and small business owner, who from time to time is on active duty with the National Guard.  He was arguing that the requirement that he buy health insurance violated the Commerce Clause and that the ��hared responsibility payment��violated the Origination Clause.

Mr. Sissel had indicated that he did not have, need or want health insurance and that he could pay for his medical expenses out of pocket.  The act requires him to purchase federally approved health insurance or pay the ��hared responsibility payment��

The Court ruled that the Supreme Court decision in National Federation of Independent Business had taken care of the Commerce Clause exception.

Although the Chief Justice stated that the individual mandate ��ould ��be unconstitutional if read as a command,��he concluded that it is not unconstitutional as beyond the scope of Congressional authority because it ��an reasonably be read��as not imposing a command. The Court�� decision to sustain the constitutionality of the whole of Section 5000A under the taxing power necessarily disposes of Sissel�� Commerce Clause claim.

  Another enterprise software player that looks ready to trigger a major breakout trade is Tableau Software (DATA), which provides software products helping people see and understand data. This stock has been under the control of the bulls so far in 2013, with shares up 43% so far.

  If you take a look at the chart for Tableau Software, you'll notice that this stock has been uptrending strong for the last month and change, with shares ripping higher from its low of $51.99 to its recent high of $74.97 a share. During that uptrend, shares of DATA have been mostly making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. Shares of DATA have started to break out today above some near-term resistance at $69.89 a share. This stock is now quickly moving within range of triggering another major breakout trade above its all-time high at $74.97 a share.

  Traders should now look for long-biased trades in DATA if it manages to break out above its all-time high at $74.97 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above that level with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action 239,908 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then DAA will set up to enter new all-time-high territory, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets off that breakout are $80 to $90 a share.

  Traders can look to buy DATA off any weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right below some near-term support levels at $67.50 or $65 a share. One could also buy DATA off strength once it takes out its 52-week high at $74.97 a share with volume and then simply use a stop that sits a comfortable percentage from your entry point.
