Big Weekly Winners: Swing Trading with PowerRatings

November 19, 2012 by Big Weekly Winners

The previous trading week ended with the market oversold after the excessive selling last Wednesday and Thursday. We opened this week’s trading on Monday with speculation around Europe and the looming ‘fiscal cliff’ increasingly becoming the center of focus. Volatility began to implode on Monday, and by Tuesday all four major US indices were trading under their 200-day moving averages. By Thursday the market had reached extremely oversold territory with a mounting concern over a bear market taking hold. Friday’s trading began with the market washed-out and still extremely oversold. The major sectors began to pull away while all eyes were on the lookout for the long awaited bounce. We wrapped this week’s trading with the major indices still under their 200-day MA and with a watchful eye out for confirmation of whether or not a bull market is still in place. The top-performing stocks from this trading week came from the healthcare 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 November 9, 2012.
