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

  1. The Strongest have the least amount of overhead supply to dampen breakouts
  2. the Weakest may be prone to volatility, subject to big pops from bottom-fishing and short-covering BUT ALSO to bigger and faster falls.
  3. (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.

  1. 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.
