 Weekly Commentary  

The NASDAQ Composite was essentially unchanged for the week until Friday when the index gapped up at the open following an overnight cut in Chinese interest rates to stimulate their economy. Although the early gains were cut by profit taking, the index still closed at a new 14 year high. Trading on Thursday and Friday produced consecutive accumulation days but volumes remained well below the 50 day average, showing only moderate enthusiasm for the current rising trend. The index's gain for the week of just 0.5% was well below that of the DJI and S&P 500.

 Weekly Breakout Report  

The number of breakouts surged to 42 this week but the lower volumes and only moderate overall gain for the NASDAQ kept average gains to just 3.4%. Nevertheless, of the 42 breakouts, only three closed the week in the red.

New Filter for NASDAQ Only Breakouts

You can now filter our watchlists to restrict display and alerts to only those stocks listed on the NASDAQ exchange. To do so, set the "Restrict to NASDAQ Stocks Only" filter to 'Yes' as shown below. If not set to yes, then stocks from all exchanges will be shown.

NASDAQ Filter
This Week's Top Tip Tips for getting the most out of our site

Focus Like a Laser on Higher Returns

Last week (see NASDAQ Delivers More Breakouts and Higher Returns), I showed how breakouts listed on the NASDAQ exchange outperformed both the NYSE and AmEx exchanges. To allow you to more easily take advantage of this knowledge, use the new NASDAQ Filter to limit the stocks shown on our watchlist to only those on the NASDAQ exchange. This will mean fewer stocks on which you will need to do due diligence, and should lead to higher gains on average, when combined with other selective filters (see Important Strategy Revisions).

As a reminder, I reproduce the results of last week's study.
