The stock market remains in pullback mode after a strong surge off the lows, but leading individual stocks continue to hold up and show clear relative strength. Yesterday, for example, 4 of the 11 stocks in our swing trade newsletter gained at least 1.5%, even though the NASDAQ Composite was flat. Yelp ($YELP), which is […]
Since I just made two new blog posts yesterday, I am a bit hesitant to post another today because I don’t want to overwhelm readers. However, this swing trade alert is timely and actionable, so I wanted to make sure you knew about it ASAP. As you may recall from my August 18 blog post […]
Until last week, our market timing model was in “buy” mode for many months. As such, we have only been focused on swing trading stocks and ETFs on the long side of the market. However, now that our timing system has shifted to “neutral” mode, our trading rules allow us to selectively initiate new short […]
With the market in substantial pullback mode, the number of leading stocks showing relative strength and still presenting low-risk swing trade buy entries has dwindled.

Going into today, US Oil Fund ($USO) is a new ETF swing trade setup on our watchlist for potential buy entry. In case you are not familiar with it, $USO is a commodity ETF that approximately tracks the price of crude oil futures contracts. For nearly a year, the price of crude has been in […]
On April 14, we wrote a blog post titled How To Profit From The Break Of 6-Year Uptrend in Gold. At that time, we said of SPDR Gold Trust ($GLD) that a bounce into new resistance of its prior support level (around the $150 area) would provide an ideal, low-risk short selling entry point. But […]
After a nasty shakeout from a false breakout in mid-February, MagnaChip Semiconductor Corp. ($MX) (which IPO’d in March 2011) has tightened up nicely above intermediate-term support of its 50-day moving average, and is holding above near-term support of its 20-day exponential moving average as well. Big breakouts are typically preceded by a tightening of price […]
