Market Summary:
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. On Tuesday, we saw a distribution day and many growth stocks were down 3-7%. As I explain in this video, many of these stocks (and the Nasdaq Composite overall) were extended. In other words, I simply view it as normal profit taking. Yes, it sucks if you own a collective group of growth stocks and they are mostly down, but if that affects you too much, you can always use a blend of ETFs and stocks to mitigate some of that volatility. Again, know yourself and what works for your temperament. Also, I do my best to mention seasonal statistics for members who like to be tactical, but please remember that where we are relative to the 21-day overrides any of the seasonal statistics. Sometimes, everything aligns up well, but when it doesn’t, use the 21-day as your main guide. I give some examples in this video.
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 for the remainder of the week.
