I remember long before the internet that the major media typically called a bear market bottom or bull market top about 6 months after it had occurred. It took that long for the editors to believe a major change in trend. So we cannot trust the pundits to tell us when to get in or out of the market. However, my objective GMI indicator suggests that it may be time to wade back into the market. When the GMI is 6 (of 6) it is likely that a longer term up-trend has begun. Don’t dwell on  the news. The market turned up at the end of March, 2020 near the beginning of the pandemic while most people remained skeptical and were too scared to enter. If we focus on the Fed, the debt crisis and refunding of the government and the war, we have many reasons to stay out. However, as I hear pundits saying to stay away from tech stocks and to invest in income stocks instead, it makes me think a new bull market for growth stocks is on the horizon.

Below is a list of stocks on my IBD/MarketSmith watchlists that reached an ATH on Friday. The list is sorted by earnings release date. Somewhere on this list are some major market leaders. Time to research and monitor them.

One stock not on this watchlist that has a very interesting weekly chart is BWMN. It is a recent IPO and had a GLB (green line break-out to an ATH) recently. As long as it closes above the green line, 22.82, it is a successful GLB. (I could not resist taking a very small position.)

Another interesting chart with a GLB is $WIRE.

 

The GMI is 6 (of 6) and Green.

With its second consecutive day above 3, the GMI flashes a Green signal. Set-ups are beginning to work out. However, I am much more confident of the market’s new up-trend when the GMI=6. But it may take a while for the remaining 2 components of the GMI to turn positive. However, with the QQQ short term trend now up, I have started to accumulate some TQQQ in my trading IRA. Now that the media pundits are talking up dividend stocks, it may be time to go back into growth stocks?

You know that I  (and Nicolas Darvas and many leading traders) mainly buy stocks breaking out to an ATH after a period of consolidation. That is why I developed the green line break-out (GLB) set-up. I draw a green line on a monthly chart at the highest price bar ever reached after that bar has not been exceeded for at least 3 months (3 bars). I may or may not buy the stock the day it goes through the green line and closes at a new ATH. But one does not have to buy the stock on the day of the GLB. One alternative is to buy it after the GLB when it becomes oversold. Here is an example.

This monthly chart shows ACLX had a GLB in December. The green line was drawn at $26.91.

The daily chart shows the GLB on December 9. The next day it traded below the green line but closed the day above it. That is why  I sell a GLB only if the stock closes a day back below the green line. Note the gap and huge volume on the day of the GLB. If I did not buy the day of the gap, I could wait until the stock has an oversold bounce (OSB). The OSB is signified by the black dot. If one bought on the day of the bounce s/he could place a stop loss order right below the low of the bounce day, hopefully ensuring a small loss if it failed. Or one could wait for a close below the green line.

AGYS has a similar pattern. But it traded around its green line for a while.

I use TC2000 to find GLBs intraday and sometimes tweet notices @wishingwealth…..

The GMI is now 4 (of 6). The indexes are back above their 10 week averages. Stay tuned…..
