Big Weekly Winners: Swing Trading with PowerRatings

October 28, 2012 by Big Weekly Winners

We wrapped up the previous trading week with pullbacks on Thursday and Friday into neutral territory after the unintended earnings release from Google, and entered Monday’s trading with the market oversold. With a short-term bounce looking likely, the market rallied from its oversold condition and settled into neutral territory once again by the end of Monday’s trading. Most media outlets blamed Tuesday’s volatile trading on earnings releases and Spain’s financial crisis, but the reality of the situation pointed more to the market beginning to tighten its grip on the Presidential election. By Thursday the market was oversold again and continuing to move in-step with the likelihood of an Obama re-election. We closed this trading week with the market in oversold territory and due for a bounce. Keep a watchful eye out for higher volatility and lower prices over the next two weeks. The top-performing stocks from this trading week came from the healthcare 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 October 19, 2012.
