MARKET OVERVIEW
nasdaq
The overall market is in an uptrend. Last week, the price of the Nasdaq 100 was slightly extended but for now, it seems to be in a good healthy uptrend.
This means that the price has pulled back a bit but is still above key moving averages and doesn’t look extended – the price is just 1.8% above the highest moving average. Usually, more than 3% looks a little extended (unless the price is not breaking out of the base).
Here’s the NASDAQ chart:
s&P 500
The S&P 500 is in a similar situation to the Nasdaq – in an uptrend, not extended.
Here’s the S&P500 chart:

Overall, since these two indexes are in a clear uptrend and not extended, it seems to be a good time for taking positions. That being said, we always need to be cautious and ready to make adjustments in our decisions.

nvidia (nvda)
- Industry Rank: 3/197
- Maximum Favorable Buying Price: 126.91
- Stop-loss: 119.97
- Profit Target: 147.72
- Position risk, %: 5.47
- Maximum position size of a portfolio, %: 5
- Pros:
- It’s in a leading industry.
- It is accumulated by the market and institutions.
- The stock is outperforming 99% of the stocks out there.

NVIDIA has been an obvious choice for a while. It may sound cliché, but the stock is still actionable.
Taking a small position with concrete stop-loss and profit target would make sense right now because the price is testing its smaller moving averages.

#1 Stock Article For The Next Week
It would make sense to take a small position somewhere between the EMA 21 line and 55.83 and see how it turns out. The stop-loss price should be at a relatively high level, since the price is not breaking out of a base, adding some risk.
nu holdings a (nu)
- Industry Rank: 14/197

- The stock is in the leading industry, providing additional support to the price.
- The stock is under accumulation by institutions and the overall market, making it safer to take a position.

Since the price has just broken out of the base and is in the buy zone, I would risk taking up to a 10% position in the stock.
7 more market leaders
Let me introduce you to some more strong stocks that don’t quite fit the CAN SLIM criteria but are actionable. The sequence starts with the best performer:
Ticker | Company Name | RS Rating | Comments |
SUPV | Grupo Supervielle ADR | 98 | The stock is adavancing very well but it doesn’t fit the CAN SLIM criteria because fundamentals and price don’t add up |
PSTG | Pure Storage CI A | 97 | Sales growth is not high enough. Otherwise it’s a good stock. |
THC | Tenet Healthcare | 97 | Sales growth is not high enough. Otherwise it’s a good stock. |
GSL | Global Ship Lease CI A | 96 | EPS and sales growth are not high enough AND there have been quite a few downdays. These facts add some risk, otherwise, a good candidate. |
FN | Fabrinet | 96 | Sales growth isn’t high enough. That being said, the stock has fairly good fundamentals. |
TER | Teradyne | 94 | The stock is technically good but fundamentals are not good enough. |
SEM | Select Medical Holdings | 91 | The stock price is close to breaking out of its base. A good buying point would be 35.08. A good stock but sales growth is less than acquired 20%. |
victor’s holdings
Here’s my stock portfolio as of this writing. The sequence starts with the best performer:
Ticker | Company Name | % Of The Portfolio |
NVDA | NVIDIA | 5.54 |
CVLT | Commvault Systems | 10.88 |
NTAP | NetApp | 11.54 |
GSL | Global Ship Lease CI A | 5.15 |
ATGE | Adtalem Global Education | 6.11 |
TXRH | Texas Roadhouse | 7.68 |
PINS | 9.87 | |
NU | Nu Holdings A | 5.77 |
RCL | Royal Caribbean Group | 7.13 |
ALKT | Alkami Technology | 6.41 |
AMZN | Amazon | 8.65 |
HIG | Hartford Financial | 4.5 |
As a default, my goal is to have about 10% of each stock in my portfolio. Usually, I start with a smaller size (5% for example) and once the price proves itself, I’m raising the position to 10%.
But there are some exceptions – if the stock is a very good performer, I might increase the position to up to 25% of my portfolio. But this means that it has at least two stop-losses by that time.
conclusion
As you can see, there are plenty of candidates in the market right now. All of them are good. We will never know exactly which ones will do better in the future and which ones will not.
This is the reason we must always use stop-losses.
And honor them.
Use this knowledge as a part of your research, go out there and try things out!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
stock REQUIREMENTS
Choosing the right stocks isn’t a game of chance; it’s a deliberate strategy. This time, with a plethora of options at my fingertips, I could afford to be pickier. So, what were the non-negotiables?
First off, industry leadership was paramount. I zeroed in on stocks from the top echelons—specifically, the TOP 10 out of 197 industries. Why? Because these represent the crème de la crème, the TOP 5% leading the charge. It’s not just about being good; it’s about being outstanding.
Next, the foundation matters. I looked for stocks with base depths signaling strength without overextension—ideally, between 10-20%, stretching up to 35% for those in a cup pattern. It’s a balance between stability and potential, ensuring our picks have solid ground beneath them.
Moreover, the up/down ratio needed to be above 1.0, a clear indicator of upward momentum. Similarly, the trend in institutional ownership couldn’t just be stable; it had to be climbing. These are the signs that savvy investors are not just watching but actively betting on these stocks.
The RS line and rating were the final seals of approval. An uptrend in the RS line and a rating of at least 85 out of 100 ensures we’re backing winners, not just participants.
By setting these stringent criteria, we’re not casting a wide net; we’re spearfishing for the best. In a sea of choices, we’re not looking for just any fish; we’re after the prize catches that promise not just to survive but to thrive.

STAGE 1: BASING OR BOTTOMING STAGE
Definition: A period following a stock’s decline where it starts moving sideways, forming a base. This stage signifies the easing of downward pressure and the beginning of stabilization, indicating that the stock is not in an uptrend yet but is preparing for potential future growth.
STAGE 2: ADVANCING OR UPTREND STAGE
Definition: The phase in which a stock breaks out of its base on significant volume, indicating a strong buying interest and the initiation of a new uptrend. This stage is considered the most opportune time for investors to purchase the stock, as it is expected to achieve substantial gains.
STAGE 3: TOP OR PEAKING STAGE
Definition: A stage characterized by the stock beginning to exhibit signs of losing momentum after its upward movement. The stock may start to move sideways with increased volatility compared to Stage 1. This suggests the stock might be reaching its peak, and the existing uptrend could be weakening.
STAGE 4: DECLINING OR DOWNTREND STAGE
Definition: This final stage occurs when the stock breaks down from its Stage 3 pattern and enters into a downtrend, marked by a sequence of lower lows and lower highs. It signifies that selling pressure has surpassed buying interest, usually serving as a signal for investors to sell the stock to mitigate further losses.
