The stock market’s pullback of the past two days has created plenty of doubt among traders as to whether or not the major indices will continue to trend higher throughout the rest of the year. But even though the S&P 500 and Nasdaq have suffered a few “distribution days” (higher volume selling), our market timing system […]
On August 2, small-cap stock Cambrex Corp ($CBM) reported quarterly earnings that blew away analyst estimates by 50% (33 cents EPS vs. 22 cents EPS). That day, traders piled into the stock, driving its price 22% higher on volume spike that was nearly 500% greater than average (highlighted by the pink ellipse on the chart […]
