Go with Veeva Systems (VEEV) , that's the one to own," was Jim Cramer's advice to one caller during Tuesday's "Mad Money" show. We looked at VEEV back on March 27, and wrote that, "VEEV looks like it can trade higher in 2020. Traders could go long on strength above $153 and $155 (above the moving averages). Risk a close below $130 for now. Our upside price targets are $175 and then $200 and $215. Take things one step at a time."
Traders should be long VEEV from $153 and $155 and now that VEEV has reached and exceeded our $175 price target, let's raise our sell stop to a close below $170. Let's pay another visit with the charts.

The On-Balance-Volume (OBV) line has improved slightly from the March low and tells us that buyers of VEEV have been more aggressive.
