Market Performance For September

Historically, September is the worst month to be in the market. The returns are normally -0.47% on an average for $SPY when u look at the average performance over the last 50 years. For the month of September of 2017, the 3 major indexes had an above average positive performance as indicated below. I have indicated in parenthesis the year to date performance as well:

$SPY ... +1.51% (+12.39%)
$QQQ ... -0.52% (+22.76%)
$DJI ... +2.08% (+13.37%)

This is the first month this year where the $QQQ had a negative performance. This suggests that there was a lot of profit taking from the technology sector this month. This is the reason why I was suggesting to my readers last month to make sure to have trailing stops on your positions. Institutions have been harvesting their profits from the Technology Sector ($XLK) this month and deploying their cash into the depressed Energy Sector (XLE), Industrial Sector ($XLI) and the Financial Sector ($XLF)

Where Are We Headed

I still have a very bullish bias towards the market. I pore over a 100 stock charts every weekend and study the performance of the Leading Growth Stocks that have a Relative Strength ratings (RS) above 90. I continue to locate opportunities to profit from Leading Growth Stocks consistently. We are heading into the best 3 months of the year in the market. My projections for the year end performance for the 3 major indexes are:

$SPY ... 260 (+16.52% for the year)
$QQQ ...154 (+30.00% for the year)
$DJI ...23,300 (+17.83% for the year)

We only have 4 "distribution days" according to to IBD(Investors Business Daily). This should indicate to us that the overall conditions of the market is very healthy.

Performance Of My 17 Stocks Was +5.63% For September

Currently I still have the 17 stocks with trailing stops in place. None of the trailing stops have been triggered either for loss or for profit yet. They have all been adjusted before the market opens on Monday for the first session of October. Here is the summary of the results of those 17 stocks.

Total entry price for 17 stocks ... $2144.89
Total current price for 17 stocks ... $2265.55
Total Profit for 17 stocks ... $120.66
Total % profit for 17 stocks ... $+5.63%

My stocks once again outperformed the leading index $DJI by +271% more than 2.5 times the leading index. This is over and beyond the 2.56 times the average profits over average losses incurred in the 10 positions that were closed last week.

I have added 4 more positions from the profits that was harvested.

$CGNX $111.80 (9/22)
$CTRL $ 27.50 (9/25)
$LRCX $171.00 (9/25)
$AMAT $ 48.85 (9/28)
