With the GMI and GMI-R at their maximum levels, growth stocks continue to rise. AAPL continues to rise, along with PCLN, RMD, GMCR, NFLX and CREE, all of which I own. As you know, I concentrate my trading in stocks at or near their all-time highs. I also like to see good earnings trends. Some of these stocks had recent quarterly earnings increases of 100% or more. The current short term up-trend in the QQQQ has now reached 14 days. During that time, the QQQQ has increased +5.2%, QLD by 10.6% and TYH by 11.1%. In the same period, only 15% of the Nasdaq 100 stocks (and 14% of the S&P 500 stocks) rose 10% or more. Again, we find that in an up-trend, one can beat most Nasdaq 100 stocks (and S&P 500 stocks) by simply buying the ultra long tech ETF’s, QLD and TYH.

AAPL breaks out–T2108 near peak? Tech up-trend looks strong.

KCI–A cup-with-handle break-out?
The short term up-trend in the QQQQ finished its 6th day on Friday. I like the fact that AAPL is holding up. We need to watch the leaders for signs of where the market is headed. I went through the new highs on Friday using the methodology I described last week. In doing so, I found a stock that appears top have broken out from a cup-with handle pattern. So, I am showing it below to provide my class with an example of this important bullish pattern, described by William O’Neil in his book (listed to the lower right).
