Follow  Thru  Days


According to Mr. William J. O'Neil (Founder of Investor's Business Daily)

"You must buy something on a  'Follow Thru'  Day"

That is How You Time The Market. 

You won't hear this on CNBC or FOX or Bloomberg TV.  You don't hear the hedge fund managers or professional money managers ever say this.  Do you ever wonder why that is?  Professional money managers are expected to have all of their monies invested fully in the stock market, even when the stock market plunges.  We as retail investors are much more nimble and we can quickly go into CASH when the market goes into a correction.  We can also quickly get into the market when the market gives us a signal to enter on a   'Follow Thru'  day. 


In 2018, we have had 3  'Follow Thru'  days.  Stocks rapidly break out on such days and they rise up +10% to +20%  within a few sessions.  If you do not pull the trigger on such days than you would quickly fall behind and be tempted to chase the stock beyond its critical buy zone.  Market will begin showing distribution days (institutional selling) within a few sessions usually and the major indexes will begin to lose momentum.  The last  'Follow Thru'  day we had was on May 10th (32 sessions ago) and currently we have 11 distribution days between the  $SPY  and the   $NASDAQ.  IBD (Investor's Business Daily)  has called the  "Market Under Pressure"  as of Wednesday June 27th.  The last 2 days we had up days and the  $SPY  and  $QQQ  are now trading above the 50 day sma(simple moving average).  Market could just as well have a rally attempt this week and the tone of the market could just as easily change back to  "Uptrend Resumes".  Have you prepared a Stock Watch List?


Performance  of  My  15  Stocks


In my post 2 weeks ago (June 17th blog post), I had listed 15 stocks that I was monitoring.  13 of those stocks are up and 2 are down since the last  'Follow Thru'  on May 10th, 32 sessions ago (7.5 weeks).  For comparison purposes, I am also posting the performance of the 3 indexes that I monitor for the same time period:

  14. $WWE     ... + 70.98%
  15. $ZTO      ...  + 19.05%
Average performance (13 winners n 2 losers) was   + 23.97%  since the  'Follow Thru'  day 3.5 weeks ago.  Average performance per week is  + 3.20%. (+166.40% annualized).  My stocks outperformed the leading index  $QQQ  by 10.65 times.
