Near-term Market Forecast: The market environment is unfavorable for appreciation of these stocks in the weeks ahead.
A dip in the ten-year yield is pushing money back over to tech stocks for now. A crash in cryptocurrencies may be making tech stocks look more attractive to speculative investors as well. Large caps continue to lead small caps as the S&P 500 is back within 1% of the highs while the small cap Russell 200 as measured by the IWM etf is finding resistance at the 50 day moving average more than 5% from the highs. The Nasdaq is trying to regain traction but on noticeably low and shrinking volume. The market will likely be interested in the CPI number due on Friday. The ten-year treasury yield pulled back to about 1.6% over the past few trading days which is helping tech to bounce. The banking index has both a bullish and bearish pattern currently. Perhaps its due for a small pullback followed by a rebound. The NYSE advance/decline line made new highs which is a good sign. The vix volatility index spiked again last week then dropped back below 20 with a declining overall trend which is a good sign. If the S&P 500 were to hit new highs this week we would be back in the modestly bullish camp. The strategy is calling for holding the following 3 stocks until the next update:
This Weeks Stocks:
This week we have 2 new stocks. So, to follow the system, you would sell TX and HVT and use the proceeds to buy equal dollar amounts of GOOGL and CROX. 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 – CUBI
Optional Protective Stop-loss Point: $26.89 (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 – GOOGL
Optional Protective Stop-loss Point: $1,891.79
Stock #3 – CROX
Optional Protective Stop-loss Point: $79.89
CUBI led the way with about a 6% move higher. However, that was negated by a drop in TX and HVT for a loss for the week. The S&P 500 was slightly higher for the week.
A move into new highs for the S&P 500 would be a good sign for the market and this strategy in the weeks ahead.
