July 6, 2020
Near-term Market Forecast: The market environment is modestly favorable for appreciation of these stocks in the weeks ahead.
The Nasdaq continues to lead the market higher as it broke into new highs again over the past week. Meanwhile the S&P 500 and Russell 2000 small cap indices are still well below the highs. However, the S&P 500 is near a good technical entry point. The NYSE advance/decline line continues to rebound towards the highs. The VIX volatility index slid lower last week but found support again at the top of the prior multi-year range. We may see it rise again as the Nasdaq is extended and we have earnings season starting next week. The yield curve continues to be positive enough and relatively stable. After a July 4th rally you often see a pullback ahead of earnings season heating up later in July so we could see that here – especially in light of surging cases of the coronavirus in certain areas of the country. In either case, the strategy is calling for holding positions in the 3 stocks below until the next update:
This Weeks Stocks:
This week we have 1 new stock. So, to follow the system, you would sell TSLA and use the proceeds to purchase CMG. If you are just starting, you would buy equal dollar amounts of all 3 stocks when the market re-opens in your risk-capital account dedicated to this system. Be sure to view the complete introductory video before getting started.
Stock #1 – VRTX
Optional Protective Stop-loss Point: $233.90 (Be aware that a tighter stop-loss will likely severely reduce performance over the long-term based on back-testing for this strategy. See upgrade and performance video for further information and insight on optional stop-loss orders.)
Stock #2 – CHGG
Optional Protective Stop-loss Point: $51.94
Stock #3 – CMG
Optional Protective Stop-loss Point: $886.90
Wow, quite a week with TSLA soaring over 31% as of Monday after hours. CHGG was up over 5% and VRTX over 2%. As a whole, the 3 stocks were up about 13% for the week while the S&P 500 gained about 2.5%.
You never know when the strategy will hockey stick upwards but we have certainly seen that again this year. As always, its important to be consistent each week to have a shot at the largest gains over time.
