I always have to remember not to anticipate a change in trend, but to wait for the actual signal.  On Monday, the QQQQ went to the edge of support and held.  There were 19 new highs and 8 new lows in my universe of 4,000 stocks on Monday.  Only 3 of the new highs were [...]

The QQQQ completed the 37th day of its up-trend on Friday.  However, there were only 16 new highs and 5 new lows in my universe of 4,000 stocks on Friday.  Five of the 16 were on my IBD100 lists:  VNUS, GMCR, HANS, LINC and INT.  All of these 5 but  VNUS were also on the [...]

The QQQQ up-trend completed its 32nd day on Friday.  When will the up-trend end?  No one knows.  My strategy is to hold growth stocks as long as the up-trend is in place.  Prior up-trends the past 3 years  have lasted as long as 86 days.  So the current up-trend may have a time to go, [...]

The up-trend continues, now in its 30th day.  There were 26 new highs and 6 new lows in my universe of 4,000 stocks on Wednesday.  Fourteen of the 26 stocks were on my IBD100 lists:  CPSI, HANS, PTRY, CERN, BJRI, AAN, QSII, SHOO, JJSF, ICUI, JOSB, NTES, FIZZ and GMCR.  TSYS, a stock I have [...]

Friday was the 27th day of the current QQQQ short term up-trend.  There were 10 new highs and 6 new lows in my universe of 4.000 stocks on Friday.  Three of the ten new highs were on the IBD100 lists from today’s edition:  STAR, HANS and JJNF.  Since the first day of the QQQQ uptrend [...]

There were 16 new highs and 7 new lows in my universe of 4,000 stocks on Wednesday.  Six  stocks on my IBD100 lists from the past year reached new highs:  AZO, GMCR, JOSB, FIZZ, QSII and LFT.  The QQQQ up-trend continues, now in its 25th day.  Stay with the trend and ignore the pundits’ prognostications.

The media pundits claim the market needs to rest.  The market gets tired and needs to consolidate for a while–such utter nonsense! I wrote a few posts ago that the rebound in the indexes thus far is actually quite small, compared with the rebounds in the 30′s.  The Dow is  up only about 24% from [...]

GMI  and GMI-R each lost one.  There just aren’t enough new highs to compute the 10 day successful new high indicator.  There were only 12 new highs and 8 new lows in my universe of 4,000 stocks on Monday. Seven of the 12 are on my IBD100 lists:  SNDA, ALGT, NFLX, NTES, LFT, GMCR and [...]

On page B16, there is a quote from Dr. Eric W., of Maryland.  I am pleased to acknowledge William O’Neil and his newspaper for contributing to my trading success over the past 25 years.  It was only after I began to read IBD that I consistently made money trading.
