Market Summary:
As I mentioned in Tuesday’s webinar, the one word to describe my market stance right now is patience. I am bullish into year-end for all the reasons I’ve discussed in recent videos, however, we still need to get through this seasonally weak period. I am still expecting volatility over the next week or two, so make the proper adjustments based on your timeframe. I like how the Nasdaq Composite had its first accumulation day (on Wednesday) in the past 10 trading days. It doesn’t mean we are out of the woods, but at least it’s a step in the right direction. What we need to see over the next week or two is a follow through day and some of the Mega Caps regain their 50-day moving averages. Again, be patient until the market proves itself a little better.
In this video, I review many stocks that are holding up well. During market pullbacks/corrections, I always use relative strength to let the market guide me into some of the strongest stocks. If you have any questions, you can ask them during the next webinar, which will likely be next week. Also, I am scheduled to be on CNBC this Friday, October 8th at 5AM EST. I will post the video clip as soon as it’s available. Thank you and good luck for the remainder of the week!
