Going long—FFIV and other Darvas Scan stocks

Now that the GMI is 6 and many stocks are hitting new 52 week highs again, I am looking for strong stocks to buy.  As you know, I prefer to buy stocks that have already doubled in the past year and that are trading at or near their all-time highs.  I also [...]

Some Stocks Near All-Time highs; Since June 4, IBD100 Stocks 3x more likely to rise 10%+

I often search for new market leaders by scanning stocks that hit new 52 week highs.  This table  (click on to enlarge) shows stocks that hit a new high on Friday,  that are near their all-time highs, and had most recent quarterly earnings increases of  at least +50%.  The first EPS column is the most [...]

Great Washington Worden Seminar; Market in short term down-trend; Mainly in cash

On Saturday,  I had the opportunity to present for 2.5 hours at the Worden software work-shop.  I showed the audience how I use TC2007 to manage my trading. It was gratifying to see the warm reception I received from a  local, primarily older adult group.  I just finished two courses at the university and have [...]

With iPad debut on the horizon, AAPL shines; Tech Up-Trend Continues, but QLD beats most IBD100 stocks again

Well, we will finally see if the iPad success is already built into the stock’s price.  While a lot of pundits think that the stock is over priced, a look at the monthly chart suggests to me that the stock has just broken out of a 2 year base.  This stock may have a long [...]

How to use IBD 100 and New America stocks and TC2007 to find potential rocket stocks; Market rally begins

I am writing this post primarily to teach my students how I search for potential rocket stocks–stocks that have been launched and appear headed towards new peaks.  As I said in class this week, it makes the most sense to buy stocks that have the best fundamentals and technicals.  This strategy has been advocated both [...]

Short term down-trend deepens; QQQQ Guppy chart ominous; In cash

I started teaching two classes on technical analysis last week and will explain more of my concepts and include informational links, as many students will be new readers.  My General Market Index (GMI) keeps me trading with the general market’s trend.  The GMI is a count of 6 short and long term indicators.   Because I [...]

My post from the bear market bottom; weak TJX; GMMA shows QQQQ in strong up-trend

“Last week, a person who knows nothing about the market asked me how to short stocks.  This is reminiscent of the stories of the shoeshine boys providing stock tips, near the roaring 20’s market’s top.  The sentiment is just too negative right now.  Does this mean the market has to turn up?  Not necessarily, but the [...]

Some new rocket stocks to watch

I used TC2007 to scan the market for stocks that meet my most stringent fundamental and technical criteria for rockets.  These stocks have great fundamentals and technicals, have already doubled their price a year ago and are near 5 year or all-time highs.  I have listed in this table the 11 stocks out of 4,000 [...]

IBD 100 list top ten stocks do outperform!

From time to time I attend stock meet-ups and listen to members opine about how useless the IBD 100 lists are.  People just like to denigrate things without examining the evidence and these untruths tend to get passed on unchallenged.  Each Monday, IBD publishes a list  of the top 100 growth stocks that meet their [...]

Up-trend in place; Time to be long; 9 IBD100 stocks at new highs

The market up-trend is in place and I am almost 100% invested on the long side in my trading IRA.  I am also largely invested in mutual funds in  my university pension. This is the time to ride the train and not to fight it.  No one knows when the up-trend will end.  The idea [...]
