Timing The Market

Last week on Wednesday April 26th, I wrote a post on the subject of "Timing the Market" It stirred a lot of discussion from my readers on tweeter and Linkdin. Market had been consolidating since mid March in a very tight and orderly fashion. Quite a few stocks were building tight bases just like a tightly wound spring. All it needed was a catalyst to propel it further up or down. We had over 70 companies slated to report earnings last week and the market took off Monday. Market got into a "Confirmed Uptrend at the end of Monday session and that was my sign as a Growth Stock investor to enter the market. That is how I time the market for bullish position. I had my upper limit target set on Sunday night for the 3 indexex that I follow:

$QQQ ..... 135
$SPY .... 238
$DJX .... 209

All the targets were met the by end of Monday session. Market began to consolidate the gains for the next 4 days. One exception however was the $QQQ. It kept up the momentum and rose +4.29% cumulative within the last 2 weeks. That is where the strength of the market came from.

My Market Outlook

Currently the market is still in an uptrend and I have a very bullish bias with just 7 distribution days on the books. Once again we have over 70 companies reporting earnings this week - including the $AAPL and $FB. These 2 stocks account for over +11% of the $NASDAQ index. They are both at their all time highs and trending along a the 8 day ema(exponential moving average) I have adjusted upwards, my bullish target for the 3 indexex as follows:

$QQQ ... 138
$SPY ... 241
$DJI ... 211.50

Stocks that are worthy of monitoring this week are

$MCD
$WYN
$CCL
$BSX
$AMZN
$TMUS
