I am dumbfounded!   I recently taped some of Cramer’s shows and reviewed Friday’s show this weekend.  At about 10 minutes into his show, Cramer responded to a caller who asked him about the use of stop loss orders.  Cramer ranted on about how he did not want his “h ... Read more

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 earning ... Read more

The market closed strong on Friday, as AAPL broke out to a new high.  Technology is where the action is right now.  However, one caution flag is that the T2108 is now at 81%, very near to being in overbought territory.  Last May, the T2108 reached a peak at 92%. ... Read the full ... Read more

However, there were 167 new highs in my universe of 4,000 stocks on Wednesday, the most since January 21. And 53% of the Nasdaq 100 stocks closed ... Read more

While the short term down-trend is still in place, a lot of stocks I watch are gaining strength. And surprisingly, short term rates are starting to rise, perhaps in anticipation of a recovery in the economy. First, note that the GMI-R, which is more sensitive to  short term changes, ha ...

Last October, I wrote a post showing that in the market’s rise, 70% of the top 10 stocks in the IBD 100 list outperformed comparable stock indexes.  Well, I repeated the analysis for the top ten stocks in the IBD 100 list published on 01/11/2010.  I compared the closing price ... Read more

For the first time since early November, there were more new lows than new highs in my universe of 4,000 stocks on Friday. Furthermore, the Worden T2108 indicator is getting near the level (below 20%) where declines sometimes end.  Friday was the 11th day of the current QQQQ short term ... ... Read more
