Near-term Market Forecast: The market environment is modestly unfavorable for appreciation of these stocks in the weeks ahead.
The market averages continue to make lower highs after the bearish market signal 3 weeks ago. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 rebounded briefly last week on news of a debt ceiling deal but then found resistance at the 50 day moving average and 50 EMA for the Nasdaq. The small cap Russell 2000 continues to be near the mid-point of its 8 month consolidation as measured by the IWM etf. The VIX volatility index fell on the rebound but formed a bullish reversal bar today. Perhaps ready to move higher again to test the September highs just below 30. The ten-year treasury yield continues to trend higher and closed last week above 1.6% at 1.614%. The CRB commodity index is making new highs again as oil breaks out to 52-week highs again above $80. Earnings season kicks off later this week with the banks reporting first as always. The strategy is calling for holding the following 3 stocks 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 – GOOGL
Optional Protective Stop-loss Point: $2274.00 (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 – TSLA
Optional Protective Stop-loss Point: $619.32
Stock #3 – CNQ
Optional Protective Stop-loss Point: $29.96
It was a good week with a gap higher when selling AMD and NTR and a nice move out of CNQ as energy continues to rally. The strategy was up over 3% while the S&P 500 was about flat.
If the strategy can about match the market during large pullbacks and corrections, it sets us up nicely for the next market uptrend where the strategy usually does very well.
