Blog Post: Day 4 of $QQQ short term down-trend; GMI=1, see table; Look for leaders among those hitting ATHs; See list of 14 promising stocks at ATHs on Friday, 5 of them are in insurance industry, see daily chart of one of them, $PLMR.

GMI-22/9

These 13 stocks on my list of 559 promising stocks reached an all-time high, ATH, on Friday. They are ranked in descending order of the last column, close today divided by close 250 days ago. Only one of them, CCB,  is more than twice its price a year ago. The fact that 5 of them, PLMR, AXS, PGR, BRO, AJG are in the insurance business is noteworthy. As we all know, insurance costs have skyrocketed, thus growing profits for the industry. PLMR held its green line on above average volume after having a GLB  after recently releasing its earnings. During a weak market, stocks that can reach an ATH are showing incredible strength.  See PLMR’s daily chart below.

The GMI is RED and both QQQ and SPY have closed below their 10 week averages. Time for me to be in cash and/or  very risk adverse with close stops in my trading accounts. I may nibble at a stock for insurance, however, ha ha. It is so much easier to be profitable trading long when the GMI is Green and registers 5 or more.

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

GMI5/6
GMI-27/9
T210849%

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).
