Blog Post: The market is strong with many growth stocks setting up; Here are 13 stocks that have all doubled over the past year, reached an ATH on Friday, and 9 of them met my criteria for a weekly green bar setup, indicated by the last column. See weekly chart of $PHM.

GMI4/6
GMI-27/9
T210870%

My weekly green bar setup looks for rising stocks that bounced up off of their rising 4wk average and reached a 20 week high in relative strength vs SPY.  I buy them and place my stop just below the week’s low. They are sorted by current price/price 250 days ago. All of these are at least 1.9x their prices a year ago. Note that 3 of these are residential builders (MHO. PHM, TOL).

Note the weekly green bar on PHM, which is riding its 4 wk average higher (red dotted line). My GLB Tracker table, to the right, shows that PHM is up over 50% since its GLB last April.

The GMI remains Green and is at 6 (of 6).

I have noticed that in a strong market, it is sometimes profitable to buy a stock that has reached an all-time high after a recent GLB, declined to oversold, and then turned up. I scan  for such stocks with TC2000 and found GNE today. I bought a little GNE and placed my stop below the low of the bounce. If I am wrong, I get stopped out with a small loss. If I am correct, maybe GNE will go on to new highs? It has already tripled this year’s low. Maybe it will triple again?I had noticed GNE when it came up on my GLB (green line break-out) scan on October 11 (see GLB tracker to right). It since has held its green line (at 17.80) and advanced to as much as +43%. Now that it has bounced from oversold I couldn’t resist a small purchase. GNE has an IBD/MS Composite rating= 96 and RS=98. Note the black dots designating oversold. My late co-instructor, David McCandlish, built this tutorial showing people how to add the back and green dot signals to their charts using TC2000. His youtube page shows more tutorials he built for my class.

Here is its monthly chart.
