Big Weekly Winners: Swing Trading with PowerRatings

August 5, 2012 by Joshua Glasgall

Despite suffering losses on Wednesday and Thursday the market rallied on Friday to close the week, marking the fourth week in a row of gains for the S&P 500 and Dow indices. Traders reacted sharply to the announcements from the European Central Bank but stocks settled coming into Friday’s trading. The July jobs report from the Labor Department announcing an additional 163,000 jobs helped fuel the rally notwithstanding the unemployment rate remaining in the 8% territory for the month. The top performing stocks from this trading week came from the technology and services 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 27, 2012.
