Market  Conditions

These are the kinds of markets that every investor and trader is searching for.  Currently the market is in a   "Confirmed Uptrend".   We have only 7   "Distribution Days"   between the  $NASDAQ  and   $SPY.  I had highlighted in my previous posts that November and December are traditionally the best performing months of the year.  Retail investors and traders should have been 100%  in the market as of beginning of October.  Here are my projections for the year end for the 3 major indexes and the leading Technology Sector:

• $SPY  ... 265
• $DJI    ... 24,100
• $QQQ ... 162
• $XLK   ... 67

Performance  of  My  Stocks

I am a Growth Stock Investor and as such I  TIME  the market.  July 12th was a signal to me to start building my positions in stocks gradually.  By the end of September, we had a very clear signal that the market was reaching higher highs and higher lows.  That was a bullish sign to start concentrating stock positions into the leading stocks and harvesting profits from the laggards.  Technology Sector was clearly the leading sector at that time.  With my rules of trading Growth Stocks, the only stocks to buy are the leading stocks in the leading sector.  They offer the best chance of   Out Performing the market.   Here are the results of the  19 stock positions currently.  I have indicated in parenthesis, the date and the price the stock was purchased.

1. $VMW ...   (8/18 ...  $ 95.75)   + 29.73%
2. $CRM  ...   (8/28 ...  $ 93.00)   +15.22%
3. $CDNS  ... (8/29 ...  $ 37.50)   + 21.60%
4. $RHT    ... (8/29 ...  $105.00)   + 22.25%

Average performance of these 19 stocks is  +28.07%  for stocks that are held in the last 14 weeks.  The performance of the leading index  $QQQ  in the same time frame has been  + 10.64%  and the leading Technology Sector  $XLK has been  +13.02%.   These 19 stocks have  Out Performed  the leading index and the leading sector by at least two times.

Happy  Thanksgiving

"Follow  Thru"  Day

Can you  TIME  the market? 

ABSOLUTELY

We had a  "Follow Thru"  day on November 8th 2016 which is a signal that tells us that the new bull market has begun.  This is the day when according to Mr. William J. O'Neil (founder of Investors Business Daily) one must start buying the leading high rated growth stocks.  This is the day that the market status changed to a  "Confirmed Uptrend".  Its like a Green light to the retail investors to start deploying their cash into quality stocks.  Highly rated stocks break out of their bases and they rise rapidly within days from their 50 day sma (simple moving averages) to 10 day sma.   

Every bull market starts with a  "Follow Thru"  day.   Not every  "Follow Thru"  day triggers a new bull market though.  However, no bull market has occurred without a  "Follow Thru"  day.  On Friday Sept 9th, we had a major   "distribution day"   when the 3 major indexes   $SPY, $QQQ  and  $DJI  traded below their  50 day sma.  Market status changed to  Market in Correction.  This was the signal to go into  CASH  and to preserve the capital from eroding.  Within 4 weeks, the market changed on Wednesday Nov 9th and those that knew how to  TIME  the market, were rewarded handsomely by outperforming the market.

Market  Results 

Its exactly a year since we entered the new bull market on Nov 8th 2016.  Here are the results of the performance of the 3 major indexex as well as the performance of all the 9 major sectors of the US stock market:

Major Indexes

1. $SPY ...  +20.81%  
2. $DJI   ...  +28.50% 
3. $QQQ  ...+31.40%

Major Sectors

1. $XLK   ... +34%      (Technology Sector)
2. $XLF   ... +32%      (Financial Sector)
3. $XLB   ... +24.08% (Materials Sector)
4. $XLI   ...  +23.70% (Industrial Sector)
5. $XLV  ...  +19.25% (Health Care Sector)
6. $XLY  ...  +16.49% (Consumer Discretionary Sector)
7. $XLU  ... +13.20%  (Utilities Sector)
8. $XLE  ... +1.21%    (Energy Sector)
9. $XLP  ... +0.87%    (Consumer Staples)

Technology was the leading sector for the last 12 months.  17  of the  21  stocks that I had highlighted in my post last week, were in the Technology Sector.  As a retail investor of growth Stocks, one must identify the leading stocks in the leading sector to  Out Perform the Market.

Market  Conditions

Market continues to be in a bullish mode.  If you are not fully invested in the market than you are missing out on profiting from it.  I still hear traders expressing opinions that the market is topping out and climaxing.  I analyse the market every weekend and the data reflects that we continue to get higher highs and higher lows on the major indexes.  June through September are traditionally the worst months of the year.  Looking at the history over the past 50 years,  $SPY (a barometer for the general market) has delivered  -0.03%.   This year however, it was  +4.06%   This trend has continued for the month of October as well.  The performance of the major indexes for October and the leading Technology Sector is as follows:

• $SPY    ... +2.36%
• $DJI     ...  +4.35%
• $QQQ   ... +4.61%
• $XLK    ...  +7.43%

In order to outperform the general market one must identify the leading stocks in the leading sector.  One must take a position in these stocks by timimg the market.  YES ... You can time the market.  According to  Mr William J. O'Neil (Founder of Investors Business Daily),  he suggests that   "One must buy something on a  Follow Thru Day".   We had a confirmation signal in mid May that gave us a signal to be involved in the market regardless of what the historical data suggested that it wasn't a good time to get in the market.  We had a similar signal on  Feb 16th  and again on  July 1st  and Nov 8th. 

Performance  of  My  21  Stocks

Currently I am  90%  invested in the market.  We are heading into the best 2 months of the year.  Most of the  S&P 500 companies have reported their earnings and we are heading into the tail end of the 3rd quarter earnings season.  This is the time to close out the position on the laggards and harvest profits in stocks that have attained  +15%  or more in profits.  One must have some cash available right now to either add to the position that are profitable and trending along the 8 day ema (exponential moving average)  or to invest in a new position that is approaching its buy area.  Here are the results:

1. $LMT   ...  + 1.64% (8/29)
2. $RTN   ...  + 2.05% (8/29)
3. $FOXF  ... + 4.62% (8/25)
4. $MNST  ... + 4.85% (8/28)
5. $PAYC  ...  + 7.05% (9/18)
6. $MRCY  ... + 9.06% (8/28)
7. $CRM   ... + 10.44% (8/28)
8. $MA    ...   + 12.00% (9/1)
9. $CI    ...     + 12.48% (8/30)
10. $AMAT   ...+ 15.67% (9/28)
11. $CTRL   ...+ 16.45% (9/25)
12. $CDNS  ...+ 17.07% (8/29)
13. $ASML   ...+ 17.94% (9/1)
14. $CGNX  ...+ 18.86% (9/22)
15. $PYPL  ... + 19.73% (8/31)
16. $LRCX  ... + 21.10% (9/25)
17. $YY      ...  + 21.49% (9/5)
18. $OLED  ... + 22.56% (9/6)
19. $VMW  ...  + 23.17% (8/18)
20. $IPGP   ... + 25.51% (8/31)
21. $ALGN   ...+ 39.11% (8/28)

Average gain for these stocks is  +15.37%.  I have indicated in parenthesis the date that the position was initiated.  Most of these stocks have been  held for  5  to  10  weeks.  

Mentoring  Program

Question you should all be asking your hedge fund managers and mutual funds that you are invested in is:

1. Has your portfolio performed as well as mine and if not why not?
2. Did your portfolio outperform the market by twice as much during the June to September period?

You all know the answer to that.  Take control of your portfolio and learn to invest yourself to outperform the market.  $QQQ  the leading index has already performed  +33%  in the last 12 months.  My 21 stocks performed   +15.37%   (80% annualized)  in less than 10 weeks.
