	  						- Buy VRTX near  465.9 target 512.36 stop loss @ 464.55  Details
 
	  						The technical summary data tells us to buy VRTX near 465.9 with an upside target of 512.36.  This data also tells us to set a stop loss @ 464.55 to protect against excessive loss in case the stock begins to move against the trade.  465.9 is the first level of support below 471.76 , and by rule, any test of support is a buy signal.  In this case, support 465.9 is being tested, a buy signal would exist.
