So what to do?We’d say just let the “market” worry about itself for now. Don’t bother with the imponderable. Instead, spendthe remainder of the year in search of winners—winners due to a winning story, or a winning chart pattern, orwinning valuation, or winning yield in this low-yield/no-yield environment… winners (short or long) that offersomething beyond the impossible/imponderable subject of whether equities as an asset class in the autumnof 2010 are a good buy or not.As chartists, we confine the search for winners to charts.On the pages that follow we’ve singled stocks that, by our work, are winners.Group 1 is composed of stocks judged to be in the throes of
“Bearish-to-Bullish” Reversals
… whose
bottoming-out formations are well defined and imply meaningfully higher prices in the weeks/months ahead.Group 2 is composed of
“Conventional” Buys
… stocks at or just below well-defined intermediate tops
toying with the prospects of breakout-type moves above said tops.Group 3 is composed of
SELLs
(of all types) with the majority of the names being: 1) stocks in the throes of
“Bullish-to-Bearish” Reversals
(stocks judged to have taken on “rollover” casts); and 2)
“Rallies to Difficult Levels
(heretofore weak stocks that have rallied hard of late and now are back up to levels whereoverhead supply comes into play and/or are back up to a declining smoothing mechanism (the 150-daymoving average).
