GMI4/6
GMI-26/9
T210883%

With the GMI on a buy, IBD on a confirmed up-trend and my QQQ short term up-trend in its 10th day, I have been tip-toeing back into this market in my trading IRA. However, the longer term trend is not up,  so I am not ready to reinvest my university pension funds. I do think it is okay to talk about some stocks that appear to be showing technical strength. The stocks below all had a recent  green line break-out (GLB). This means they have formed a 3 month or longer top at an all-time high and have just broken through that top to a new all-time high. Such strength can sometimes signify the start of a large multi-month move. I am showing these GLB stocks as a way of explaining how I find promising stocks. When I do buy a GLB, I always exit if the stock comes back below the green line. This is a sign of a false break-out and technical weakness. When a stock breaks through its all-time top, I want to see an increase in volume as others rush in to buy. I often buy a stock back if it then closes back above the green line. Here are some weekly charts of stocks that hit a new yearly high on Friday and that have had a recent GLB. I have not researched them for a possible buy. Some of them had unusually large trading volume last week and there may have been an important announcement that would need to be reviewed and weighed before purchase. Before buying, I  always review the fundamentals of the company, its next earnings date, and other technical indicators. I am putting these GLB stocks in a watch list to monitor over the coming days. Let me know if you find such posts useful. These are weekly charts.

9th day of $QQQ short term up-trend; GMI goes to Buy but I remain vigilant

GMI4/6
GMI-26/9
T210881%

I corrected the reading for the IBD growth mutual fund index component so the GMI actually turned to a Buy on the close of 3/2. Note, however, that the major indexes are still below their declining 30 week averages, indicating the longer term trend is still down. The T2108 is at a nose bleed high of 81% and this weekly chart of the NYSE index clearly shows this rebound is within a Stage 4 down-trend. I am watching very carefully for any signs  this rebound is ending.

8th day of $QQQ short term up-trend; $T is HUGE!

GMI4/6
GMI-26/9
T210876%

The T2108 is at 76%!  Another strong day and the GMI could flash a Buy signal on Thursday. Meanwhile, I am holding some TQQQ during this bounce.

This monthly chart shows that T is breaking out of a multi-year consolidation. My millennial son and former Apple Genius, Mike,  says that T is opening up a whole new way to get TV on his phone. He says this is HUGE! With a dividend yield of 5.2% and a promising chart, I thought it a good idea to buy some T on Wednesday.
