On verge of renewed up-trends; recent GLB, $MZOR at new highs; Mark Minervini presents to my class

GMI4/6
GMI-28/9
T210856%

An up day will likely change the GMI signal to Green and the QQQ short term trend back to up after only 5 days. I have written that 40% of short term down-trends since 2006 lasted only 5 days or less. The more sensitive GMI-2 is already 8 (of 8). With interest rates so low, there is no other game in town, except for real estate. So the market up-trend is likely still alive. The QQQ is back in a 12/6/6 RWB pattern (see my glossary for definitions) having closed above all 12 moving averages.

And MZOR keeps rising to all time highs on above average volume.

When I attended Mark Minervini’s terrific 3 day workshop in October, he volunteered to someday speak to my students. Well Mark is a man of his word and he visited my class yesterday and gave a phenomenal 3 hour lecture. If  only I had heard such a lecture when I was in my 20’s!  Mark has just published his third trading book and I will comment on it after I have read it. His lecturing to my class reflects his strong commitment to teaching young people (and the rest of us) what he has learned from trading the past 30+ years. I highly recommend his workshop and books.

3rd day of $QQQ short term down-trend; Daily RWB charts get one out of $IBM and $GS and into $MCD and $GLD

The RWB daily charts would have warned one to get out of IBM and GS long before their earnings inspired declines. Note when each went from RWB up-trends to BWR down-trends with 0/0 patterns.

It’s all in the chart! I own RWB stocks and get out of BWR stocks. Note how nice the chart is for MCD–pure RWB and a perfect 6/6 pattern.

And of course there is GLD, 6/6.
