Market Summary:
In recent videos, I mentioned that I would like to see the market prove itself. Over the past two weeks, all the major indexes regained their 50-day moving averages and have held their gains so far. In addition, we’ve seen very little distribution during this recent consolidation. These are all positive steps in the right direction. Regarding growth stocks, the price action continues to improve and I review many stocks in this video. From here, I am expecting continued strength into year-end, but please keep in mind it will not be straight up. As I always remind members, there will be shakeouts and normal pullbacks along the way, so please use the 21-day EMA as your guide and get those strong entry points. Overall, the indexes are acting well, the price action in growth stocks continues to improve, and the Fed is on our side. Let’s not argue with it and do our best to take advantage of it during this traditionally strong seasonal period.
Remember some of 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.
