What to do now
The market rally seems to be orderly and constructive. But some stocks are retreating below key levels, while many gainers are still out of position. Investors don’t know if the rotation will continue or if it will be more volatile.
Right now, buying opportunities are relatively few, while investors may want or need to reduce or exit some positions.
Hopefully, market action will create plenty of opportunities, from big winners resetting and potential leaders exploding. Look for these stocks by running the monitor and updating the watchlist.
