Market Summary:
***REMINDER: THE NEXT MIDWEEK VIDEO WILL BE THIS TUESDAY, JULY 1 DUE TO THE U.S. MARKETS BEING CLOSED ON FRIDAY, JULY 4.***
We’re still in a power trend because the major indexes are above their key moving averages, there’s very little distribution, and many growth stocks continue to act well. Two things stuck out to me this past week: 1) The market’s resilience following the geopolitical tensions last weekend. As I always say, it’s not the news, but the market’s reaction to the news that matters. 2) We didn’t see the seasonal weakness that normally occurs the week after June OpEx (around June 20-27). That is the market giving us information and showing us its resilience. I still see this power trend lasting until mid-July, and I explain in this video some of the reasoning behind that time frame. As always, I will be open-minded and take this day by day.
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 enjoy your weekend.
