NYSE:ITW   Illinois Tool Works Inc.
I've been watching $ITW as a manufacturing and infrastructure play. It broke out last week but was unbuyable due to earnings coming up in a few days. Well, earnings are behind and it beat. This is not a growth stock so I doubt it will rocket up. I have an alert set for when it exceeds it's ATH set on the earnings date. I'll wait for that to be taken out with higher than average volume. All TBD. Ideas, not investing / trading advice.

5/4 Bought a starter position as it crossed the short downtrend line. It's on low volume so it's a small position but showing relative strength in a declining market. Let's see how it plays out.
