Big Weekly Winners: Swing Trading with PowerRatings

June 3, 2012 by Joshua Glasgall

As of the close of the trading week on 6/1 the market can be considered to be in oversold territory. News from Europe is still causing serious turbulence, while US job growth numbers have slowed to a crawl. The DOW gains have been wiped for the year and the S&P500 dropped below its 200-day moving average by Friday’s close. In light of all of that, the top-performing stocks over the last trading week came from the basic materials and technology sectors.

The stocks in this week’s Big Weekly Winners: Swing Trading with PowerRatings all earned PowerRatings of 8 or higher one week ago on May 25th, 2012.
