Big Weekly Winners: Swing Trading with PowerRatings

July 22, 2012 by Joshua Glasgall

After 3 consecutive days of gains this week, stocks slid back on Friday amid worries surrounding further bailout measures for Span’s financial industry. A tepid opening on Friday set the pace for the day’s trading with majority of the main indices closing in the red. Positive earnings reports boosted markets throughout the week and with several influential tech companies scheduled to release their respective reports in the upcoming week, earnings will continue to drive trading. The top-performing stocks from this trading week came from the technology and basic materials 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 July 13, 2012.
