May 18, 2020
Near-term Market Forecast: The market environment is neither favorable or unfavorable for appreciation of these stocks in the weeks ahead.
The S&P 500 fell last week and recovered those losses and more today on positive, early vaccine trial results. After falling quite a bit last week, the small cap Russell 2000 finally had a strong move higher today. The Nasdaq continues to be the leader as it tested the May high today. The S&P 500 cleared the prior swing point which is a good sign that we are not entering a multi-year bear market. The price of oil has broken out of a second high tight flag and continues to recover but is still in the low $30s. The ten-year treasury yield moved nicely higher today to close at .74%. Perhaps it will start to trend higher for a while to test the 150 day moving average. The VIX volatility index continues to make lower highs but is still about twice the longer-term average. The NYSE advance/decline line completed a small A-B-C down pattern but looks like its trending higher again. The market uptrend is still in place and the strategy is calling for holding positions in the 3 stocks below until the next update:
This Weeks Stocks:
This week we have no new stocks. So, to follow the system, you would do nothing. 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 – DOCU
Optional Protective Stop-loss Point: $87.40 (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 – NFLX
Optional Protective Stop-loss Point: $329.60
Stock #3 – VRTX
Optional Protective Stop-loss Point: $209.69
Another nice week with some modest gains about matching the S&P 500 over the past week. May has been another good month for the strategy after enormous gains in April.
A great year thusfar, especially compared to the overall market. The performance tracker has been updated so you can compare your entry/exit prices and pinpoint any problems with your online broker or weekly routine. Again, being consistent over the years is so important for a shot at great long-term success with this strategy.
