IBD 200 Opportunities

Lets look at this weeks To identify the best and handful of opportunities with best potential, here is what I do.

chan said...: Hi Pradeep,

I got stopped out of most of my positions on Thursday. How soon can we reenter into this market if something breaks out with 4%.

Is it safe to enter right next week or do we have to wait for 'Market Monitor' to turn up (200 plus breakouts and less than 5 50% a month) BEFORE we start putting capital into any of these breakouts.

Some stocks had breakout due to Friday's rebound. But I am not sure if I should enter so soon after stopping out of most of my positions just a day ago.; Jun 10, 2007, 7:32:00 PM
Nashasa said...: Hi Pradeep,

I narrowed down EPS 70+ list from "Stock in focus" using the factors you mentioned in your DIY exercise. Following is the result:

Step 1: 30 days or 65 days growth less than 10%
AKAM, CAE, GROW, INFY, IRIS, ISIL, MXIM, SPTN, TNC, TXN, WST, X

Step 2: Relative strength >= 65
All in Step1 (Don’t have IBD or TC. So manually calculated using formula: 0.4 * (C * 100 / C65) + 0.2 * (C * 100 / C130) + 0.2 * (C * 100 / C195) + 0.2 * (C * 100 / C260))

Step 3: Price within 15% of 52 weeks
CAE, IRIS, ISIL, MXIM, SPTN, TNC, TXN, WST, X

Step 4: No 4% plus breakout in last 10 days
CAE, IRIS, ISIL, MXIM, SPTN, TNC, TXN, WST, X

I did this exercise because it is helping me in understanding the concepts. Your critique/comments will be highly appreciated.; Jun 10, 2007, 9:06:00 PM
Anonymous said...: you have an interesting concept behind the idea to reduce IBD 200 to the stocks, which appreciated less then 10% during the last 65 days. Have you tracked the performance of such stocks?; Jun 10, 2007, 11:58:00 PM
Pradeep Bonde said...: Chan
In 4-5 days it will be clear. If market is going down we will see more 250 plus down 4% days.

nashas
The list was pre selected for breakout. So your analysis is mostly wrong. Plus the relative strength formula is rank not value so unless you have rank for all stocks , you can not decide which are ranked 65 plus.

I am a trader primarily not interested just in tracking things. Only select few stocks out of the IBD 200 I buy even if they meet the 65 days weakness. After that they have to have 4% breakout for me to buy. After that on that day there has to be money in the account to buy that position. So in reality I end up buying only around 20 to 22 stocks out of the list in a year. Some you get stopped out , some go on to make triple digit.; Jun 11, 2007, 6:39:00 AM
mgold said...: Pradeep,

When you say they have to have 4% breakout to buy, are you watching this intraday and buy when the high is 4% or does the 4% have to be the price at close? What if the high drops from 4% intraday?; Jun 11, 2007, 8:54:00 AM
Pradeep Bonde said...: I buy both intra day or next day once 4% plus on high volume (v>v1) second condition is also true.
What if the stock goes up 10% intra day after buying 4%. Probability of a stock making further move after making 4% intra day is higher than it going down. You can test this.; Jun 11, 2007, 9:28:00 AM
mgold said...: OK I got it. I had a couple of stocks on my list and those that hit 4% have maintained that 4% + thus far today. I will continue to watch the 4% breakouts. One of those stocks was actually KMGB which I picked up as a result of your 70plus concept a week or so ago which is up 20% since I bought it. Although my universe of stocks was more limited than yours. But I am continuing to learn the processes......Thanks for your teachings!; Jun 11, 2007, 1:51:00 PM

Unknown said...: hi Pradeep,

Sorry if I am confused, to reduce the list would it be useful to apply your 70+ EPS and 65+ RS method on this list of IBD 200? thank you.; Jun 11, 2007, 3:23:00 PM
Pradeep Bonde said...: Allmost every stock in IBD 200 is 70 plus EPS and RS of above 90, so you would get all 200 stocks.; Jun 11, 2007, 3:43:00 PM
