Welcome to this holiday week Diamonds Recap. I hope everyone is having a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! This week we get another prize for beating the SPY again. While that isn't the goal of DecisionPoint Diamonds, I always feel satisfaction when we do...
The Diamond PMO Scan only produced two results. I always get concerned when this happens because it suggests there are not that many momentum trades available and that could signal market weakness. This is why I have more than one scan...
I decided to stay up late and do the DP Diamonds Report today instead of Wednesday to prep for Thanksgiving. I wavered somewhat as I sat down to write this given the late hour, but I knew I would be unhappy with myself on Wednesday if I didn't do it now...
The purpose of the Diamonds Report is to do the scanning for you, select candidates that are bullish based on the DecisionPoint Analysis Process and then explain the analysis...
After sifting through the reader requests today, I decided that clearly great minds do think alike. I ran my scans and picked my "diamond in the rough" for today before sifting through the requests. One of today's reader requests was Big Five Sporting Goods (BGFV)...
Before I begin, I want to remind everyone to register for Friday's subscriber-only "Diamond Mine" trading room at the registration link provided below or here...
I had been wondering why I wasn't seeing many Energy sector stocks coming through on my scans when it occurred to me that except for a few bottom fishing scans, my regular scans all require the 50-EMA to be greater than the 200-EMA which means it would be on a "Golden Cross" as f...
While we often see Diamonds outperform, this was a particularly good week for one of our Industrial sector picks. As far as our "Diamond of the Week" for free subscribers, Netflix (NFLX), it was up on the week and continues to hold important support...
Not a great trading day so yesterday's "diamonds in the rough" felt the pain today. It's an excellent example of why we study overall market conditions and indicators in the DP Alert...
Before I begin, I want to extend my sincere thanks to all veterans who have served or are serving our country today. I would especially like to thank my father, Carl Swenlin (20 years USAF), and my husband, John Wood (22 years USN)...
For those of you who have attended the DP Trading Rooms and Diamond Mines as well as viewers of the DecisionPoint Show, you are well aware of my recent "Diamond of the Week" pick of Netflix (NFLX). I hadn't officially added it to our spreadsheet, but I am today...
Excellent market week! I gave everyone a preview in today's Diamond Mine that Monday's DecisionPoint Show "Diamond of the Week" would be the ever popular...... Netflix (NFLX). Rather than looking at the biggest winner today, I'll look at NFLX instead...
So far we're having a very good week in the market and with this week's Diamonds. Not a surprise given the SPY is currently up 7.16% so far this week. I mentioned that I would be adding positions last night. I ended up adding three recent Diamonds to my personal portfolio...
The market rallied strongly today and with that we saw sector rotation moving toward Health Care as well as the Technology sector. Communications Services (XLC) remains strong. My selections today came from two scans: the Diamond PMO Scan and my Momentum Sleepers Scan...
It was interesting, we ended the Diamond Mine Trading Room last Friday with all of us agreeing it may be better to look for short positions since the scans were showing slim pickings going into this week. I said that I likely would look for shorts the following week...
Time to reveal the spreadsheet for this week's "Diamonds in the Rough". The market decline didn't leave our diamonds unscathed, but ultimately the SPY was down -5.56% on the week and Diamonds were down on average -3.62%. Nothing to brag about, a loss is a loss in my portfolio...
This morning "The Pitch" aired where Mark Newton, John Kosar and I presented five actionable trades. I presented four of Tuesday's Diamonds in the Rough in addition to Repligen (RGEN). They had a better day today after pulling back during yesterday's blood bath...
It wasn't easy to pick out today's "diamonds in the rough" given the huge decline in the market. However, it could be offering us good entries on a few of these stocks. You'll note that a few of the stocks I picked today finished higher on the day...
It shouldn't surprise my readers that the Communication Services sector, the Internet industry group in particular, continues to heat up. In my Recap last week, I suggested we watch that area closely...
This week's Diamonds in the Rough performed quite well. Our big winner finished the week +7.47% and the two runners-up were up +4.26% and +4.07%; not bad on a week where the SPY was down -0.48%. One thing I would like to take into consideration from here on out are stops...
