Blog Post: Day 21 of $QQQ short term up-trend; 127 US stocks at yearly highs, 46 at ATHs and 70 new lows; Recent IPO, $MRX, has doubled without ever forming a green line top! Check out its monthly and weekly charts

GMI5/6
GMI-27/9
T210850%

MRX has IBD comp=EPS=99 and RS=96. It never rested at least 3 months for me to be able to draw in a green line! It has already doubled in 11 months, as this monthly chart shows.

The weekly chart shows the typical pattern of a strong stock. Since August, it has closed mostly above its 4 wk average (pink dotted line) and its 4 wk average has closed above its 10 week average. These are the characteristics of a rising stock. Possible entries occur with a bounce up off of the 4wk or 10 wk avg (blue dotted line). The 10 wk avg is rising above the 30 wk avg (red line), indicating a Weinstein Stage 2 up-trend.

Blog Post: Day 19 of $QQQ short term up-trend, short and long term up-trends intact; What happened to $DAL after its GLB?

Last Wednesday I posted that DAL looked promising after it had an oversold bounce (blue dot).  Then on Thursday the stock tanked and traded below the green line. I would have been stopped out because the bounce failed. But DAL held the green line and rose on Friday. I have written many times that the buy signal after a GLB is intact as long as the stock closes repeatedly above the green line. So we will learn this week if it continues to be a tradable GLB and closes only above 63.44.

The GMI remains at 5 (of 6).

Blog Post: Day 17 of $QQQ short term up-trend; $DAL had a recent GLB and just bounced from oversold, if I bought it I would place a stop just below the low of the bounce @63.94, study these daily and weekly charts

I love this setup. Find a stock that had a recent GLB to an ATH and then declined to oversold (the blue and black dots on the chart designate oversold levels) and has bounced up. Today’s setup would enable me to place a close stop just under yesterday’s low.  If my stop is triggered, I take my small loss. But I then watch it to see if it bounces again. Some of my best gains come from a stock I have researched and like but have been shaken out of and then buy it back!!!!  Every loss brings me to the next gain. Study this setup. I will explain it in detail on May 21 when I present at the Boston IBD Meetup.

Here is its weekly chart. Note it is bouncing up off of its 10 week average, another promising sign. And the 4wk>10wk>30wk, a necessary requirement. IBD Comp=90. Note also that Sept-Nov of  last year it rode the 4 wk average up for over 10 weeks–the invaluable sign of a strongly advancing stock. Another place to buy is the bounce up off of the 4wk avg.
