Some new rocket stocks to watch

GMI6/6
GMI-R10/10
T210865%

I used TC2007 to scan the market for stocks that meet my most stringent fundamental and technical criteria for rockets.   These stocks have great fundamentals and technicals, have already doubled their price a year ago and are near 5 year or all-time highs.   I have listed in this table the 11 stocks out of 4,000 in my stock universe that met these criteria.  Rocketstocks1218 All of these stocks had last quarterly earnings up at least 100%.   Coincidentally, all but 4 of the 11 are in my records as having appeared on the IBD100 and/or IBD New America lists during the past year. I have also noted in this table where I might place long term or short term stop losses on each long position.   The most conservative stop loss is the short term support level.   With a growth stock I rarely retain   a long position if the stock closes below its short term support level.   However, if I bought near long term support I might use the LT support level as my exit strategy.   I will return to these 11 stocks in a future post to show you how they behaved.   These stocks have already proven themselves as being in strong up-trends, but one never knows when an up-trend will end.   That is why I immediately enter a sell stop or buy a put option for insurance, after buying one of these high momentum stocks. I currently own 3 of these stocks.

Below is a Guppy Multiple Moving Averages (GMMA) weekly chart (click on chart to enlarge) of one of these rocket stocks, RDY. Note how all of the shorter term averages (black lines) are well above the rising long term averages (red lines). This is the type of technical strength I seek in a potential rocket stock.

All indicators positive; beware of gold, STEC, GMCR

GMI6/6
GMI-R10/10
T210864%

My indicators are all positive again.   There were an amazing 398 stocks in my universe of 4,000 that hit a new high on Friday.   59% of the 4,000 stocks closed above their 10 week averages.   Nevertheless, two rocket stocks I have written about weeks ago are now in downtrends, STEC and GMCR.   GMCR has now closed below its 30 week average.   I hold no stocks that close below this critical average.   It may be wise to buy some puts on these stocks. While gold is still in an up-trend, it declined on Friday with the highest daily volume in more than a year.   Gold may have completed a climax run.   Be careful not to give back all of your hard earned profits.   The dollar is rising and bonds were weak. Maybe higher interest rates are coming. Meanwhile, the GMI
