CANDIDATES: Outlier Stock Perspectives
Current 1Strongest and 9Weakest
What: stocks currently rated Strongest/Weakest (highest/lowest of 9 strength ratings)
Why: these are interesting stocks for available capital because
- The Strongest have the least amount of overhead supply to dampen breakouts
- the Weakest may be prone to volatility, subject to big pops from bottom-fishing and short-covering BUT ALSO to bigger and faster falls.
- (Not guaranteed and not a recommendation - weak stocks in weakening sub-industries may be better shorts than high-flyers.)

1-Week Large % Changes
What: stocks with atypically strong or weak performance this week
Why: these are interesting stocks for available capital because
The journey to 100%+ returns begins with 10% returns...
- Strength can beget strength
- So too weakness
- Momentum and trend-following are time-tested.
- A multi-month rally begins with one up week...
- Meaningful moves last
- And can last longer than expected.

5-Year Highs/Lows
What: stocks at 5-year highs and lows
Why: potential large and/or rapid price movement
This section shows the strongest of the strong and the weakest of the weak, hitting 5-year highs and lows, respectively. The strongest are the leaders of the market. Meanwhile, there is no rational reason to hold weak stocks that are at multi-year lows. There are far too many other attractive choices to waste time or capital (long positions) on such candidates.
