How to find stocks likely to go up a lot
Big earnings explosions create big trends. Doubling of earnings is good but the stocks which really make big monster move have huge earnings and sales.
and I can go on and on. Many of the mortgage stocks which were the biggest winner in 2003 bull market first phase had earnings growth of 500% plus. All of them have gone bankrupt now. But they made 1000% plus price moves in few quarters because of explosive earnings.
Those are the kind of stocks one should look for if you are looking for explosive gains. All the above stocks were unknown , neglected stocks , before they were noticed by market because of their explosive earnings growth. In current market some of those kind of stocks with explosive earnings have started to move now.
You can spend lot of time drawing trend lines, support and fib extensions, or looking for value stocks and cigarette stubs and turnaround situation or search for macro theme, or latest charting techniques or exotic Japanese charting technique, or listening to Crammer, but none of that stuff matters.
