Opportunity Buffet Part 1

“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.”- Thomas Alva Edison



A day like today involves more work as we have 177 breakouts on bullish side and 46 on bearish side. What a difference a day makes.

The opportunity on long sides are becoming more risky as we are now entering runaway territory on some sectors like shipping, but that is the fun and challenge of trading runaway stocks.

So lets look at what Mr. Market has to offer .

Bullish IBD 70 plus EPS

We have 60 breakouts with 70 plus EPS, clearly showing where the pocket of strength is located and where money is flowing.

They are the ones which go on to form the patterns like flat bases and cup and handle bases which IBD likes.
If you go through the entire list everyday, you can detect sector trends much before they show up on relative strength measures. Plus the early movers in sector are the real leaders.

Bullish Distressed Stock
Out of 17 stocks in this list CACS and RIGL are worth researching. If you noticed PILL the stock which I highlighted from this list is up 28% today. In such stocks there is seller exhaustion, so breakout often work. But this game is only for nimble short term traders.

Now that is the opportunity landscape on long side. In part 2, I will cover short opportunities and in Part 3,the more learning and tracking kind of stocks from 50% plus list.

Hi Pradeep,

Regarding your suggestion that CLWR may still be buyable, are you thinking that the short sellers are getting squeezed here and there will be even more UP days ahead, even after today's huge 34% gain? In general, what are the criteria that put some of these "opportunity buffet" items on the "buyable" plate?

Thanks!

Tom -

Look at all the ones marked buyable. You will notice they all moved relatively sideways for 1+ months prior to today's move up.
