Market Summary:
***REMINDER: THE NEXT MIDWEEK VIDEO WILL BE THIS TUESDAY, JUNE 17TH DUE TO THE U.S. MARKETS BEING CLOSED ON THURSDAY, JUNE 19TH.***
The big institutions started to come back in the market aggressively towards the end of April, and since then, the market has stair-stepped higher in a healthy manner. In addition, during this time, we’ve seen very little distribution, and the price action of growth stocks continues to improve. Again, do your best to shut out the noise and focus on making money during this power trend. Power trends tend to last 6-12 weeks, so hopefully this can take us into mid-July with normal pullbacks along the way. As always, I will take this day-by-day and update you in these videos if anything major changes.

Right now, the big question on everyone’s mind is whether the recent geopolitical tensions will disrupt the markets. Currently, my answer is no because the major indexes are holding their key moving averages and many leading growth stocks continue to act well. Of course, if anything changes, I have the right to change my mind and will update you in these videos. For now, I’m sticking with this uptrend until I see any major warning signs.

Remember the main guidelines during power trends: 1) Use the 21-day as your guide. In other words, if we are extended from this level, don’t be surprised to see minor pullbacks through price and/or through time. 2) Expose yourself to strong stocks and ETFs. Between the Focus List and the other stocks, there are plenty of ideas in these videos. 3) Get strong entry points near the 21-day and 50-day moving averages. 4) Manage your trades as best as possible based on your timeframe, risk tolerance, and overall investment plan. I can give guidelines, but ultimately, you need to decide what position sizes to use, the number of positions to own, when to take profits, and where to set your stop losses. Thank you and good luck this week.
