Market  Outlook


Market conditions have improved dramatically since Thursday June 28th.  Market is very efficient and all the news you hear on a daily basis about the North Korean rocket man, tariffs, interest rate hikes by the central banks of US/Euro Zone/Japan or the disruption of oil supplies and immigration reforms or the knee jerk reaction with every tweet that Mr. Trump discharges is all priced in with every stock.  I have often said that the market does not have any political bias or leanings towards any religion.  Markets don't really care for your opinions or your prayers either.  It is best to tune out all the noise in the market and just look at the data to guide your decisions.  Paying too much attention to every tick in the market and looking over your positions too closely on the computer is futile.  I can assure you, that will not move the stock and will only get you frustrated. 


Currently the  'Market is in a Confirmed Uptrend'  as of Friday July 6th.  We have had a rally last several days and the leading index $QQQ  has punched through the resistance of the 50 day sma(simple moving average) line.  It has risen above the 20 day ema(exponential moving average) and is currently sitting atop the 8 day ema.  There is strength exhibited in the Growth Stocks.  $NASDAQ  is up  +11%  year to date.  Mexico is also up  + 2.3%.  Major economies of the world - Euro Zone, Japan, South Korea, China, India, Brazil and South Africa are all in negative territory so far this year.  


July performance with  $SPY (proxy for annual performance of the general market)  on an average is  + 0.32%  looking over the data for the past 50 years.  Last year however  $SPY  was  + 6.30%  from July 6th lows within 3 weeks.  Growth stocks will rise up rapidly within a couple of weeks when the market goes into a confirmed uptrend.  It is not unusual for them to perform 2 to 2.5 times as fast as the  $SPY  does when the market pulse changes to  'Market in a Confirmed Uptrend'.   

Do you have your Stock Watch List ready to take advantage of the improved market conditions? 


Performance  of  My  15  Stocks 


I had identified 15 stocks that were leading the market as of June 15th.  Every weekend I will look over at least 150 stocks to refine my Stock Watch List.  As a Retail Growth Stock investor and a trader, one should focus on the leading stocks in the leading sector.  When the market conditions improve like the way they have as of last Friday, one should start dipping their toes in the market with small positions in several leading stocks.  Leading stocks with good fundamentals and good technical charts will rapidly rise in the first couple of weeks.  

Here are the results of the performance of my 15 stocks since they came on My Stock Watch List 3 weeks ago.  For comparison purposes, I am also posting the performance of the 3 indexex that I monitor for the same time period:

Indexes:
  1. $DJI       ... - 2.52%
  2. $SPY     ... - 0.62%
  3. $QQQ    ... + 0.77%  (Leading Index)

15 Stocks:
  1. $AAXN    ...  + 2.42%
  2. $ABMD    ...  - 9.06%
  3. $BCOR    ...  + 5.61%
  4. $CRC      ...  + 27.41%
  5. $FIVE     ...   - 1.11%
  6. $INGN    ...   + 4.50%
  7. $SHAK    ...  - 1.64%

My stocks outperformed the leading index $QQQ by 5.64 times.
