Stan Weinstein's Stage Analysis

No worries, it's good to talk to someone about it. Like I said it will help me focus and learn myself as I think you always learn better in an interactive manner. Although I do have to pop out for some physio in a bit, so will be offline after this for a few hours, as I have a broken collarbone at the moment.

Precious metals are my main focus at the moment. There's a short covering rally today across the board so I'm watching how they react at key resistance levels this week.

ATK.L does look similar to AML.L - the weekly is on the 30 week MA, but needs to have a good close above it to move into Stage 1A, as it's at the critical point where it can easily reverse to continue in Stage 4.

On the daily 640 looks a good level to clear, but look at the weekly as there's some strong resistance there from January's low, so that might take a while to overcome as the resistance is within the last year.

Relative strength and volume are more positive than AML.L though.

I noticed both of your picks are stocks that have fallen hard like the market has and so have resistance to fight through still. A big component of the method relative performance versus the market. You want to buy strength and sell weakness, so I'll give you an example of one of my current trades to illustrate this. The market trend was down when I bought this, so it breaks the rules a bit, but I think it's a good example of a good relative strength stock breaking out and currently retesting the breakout level. It might fail because the market is still negative, but has potential to move higher because of the size of the base and lack of resistance above it.

ouch. my mum broke her shoulder a 6 weeks ago, and they unable to even consider operation for another 6 weeks..
i can see why you bought rr. the other day.

what you think of this as a potential traders entrance... had a 4 then a pullback to 30wma.. now if starts falling dsay below 350 with stop above 383?

good first and second entry with volume, rel strength shooting etc..

wat you think to ppc? on weekly broke out stage 1?, then pulled back, now looking to go off again.
only thing is breakout volume was low?
do you find uk volume on breakouts work? i must admit in all years i traded ive ignored it as there not a lot of it in general unlike usa shares

It's an interesting one. The Oil & Gas Producers Sector is outperforming the market currently and has pulled back to support. PMO.L however, is under performing it's sector, but performing inline with the market - which is in a downtrend. On the daily the trendline support is around 345 and on the weekly there's a rising trendline at 320, so I'm not sure I'd personally take it as the risk reward ratio is only about 1:1 for a short term play unless you bring you stop in tighter above the daily 30 week MA around 365.

So it's a weak stock, in a strong sector, in a weak market. So I think the method would say pass, as the key is to only try and pick the A+ winners and avoid the mediocre ones. It might go down, but if you are using the method you'd want a weak stock, in a weak sector, in a weak market for shorting candidates I think.

not sure if it interests you, but have gone through about the top1000 uk shares this afternoon, and these are the ones i found interesting..
