Market Summary:
In the first part of this video, I present a statistic that I discussed in early August. It basically shows that the second half of October tends to be weak and volatile, but November through January tends to be strong (based on the statistics, previous setup, and the study presented). The main point is that we could see some volatility over the short-term, but as long as the major indexes hold their key moving averages and growth stocks continue to act well, I’m going to be patient and wait for the stronger seasonality later this year. As always, if you are too nervous, reduce your position size and expand your timeframe.

From here, I’m going to continue to shut out the noise, keep things simple, and 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. Thank you and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
