Market Summary:
Over the past 6-8 weeks (from approximately mid-July to early September), growth stocks corrected and consolidated while the overall market held up very well due to sector rotation. On Monday and Tuesday (9/8 and 9/9), there was very strong price action in growth stocks and that led me to increase my investment levels for the reasons I explained in the Market Note to Members dated 9/9/25.
From here, I’m going to stick to my 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. If you have any questions, you can ask them during the next LIVE webinar which will be this Monday, September 29th at 7PM EST. Thank you and good luck for the remainder of the week.
