What We Learned This Week:

• Tech Stocks - Netflix, Microsoft, Google, FB, Tesla, Apple ...
• Market Sector, Leader vs Laggard, Cousin Theory
• How to Find Stocks - Search for comparative stocks
• Financials & Technical Analysis + Benchmarks

Notes:

Market Sector – Rank the sectors, what sectors have the best stocks in the NASDAQ currently

Ex - Tech, Energy (oil), Consumer, Real Estate, Financials (banks)

Sectors have subsectors – Tech has information technology

Bloomberg or IBD will list the top sectors, top stocks, stocks with best earnings, biggest movers in price, 52 week highs

Search for Market Sector with the highest Relative Strength (RSI) – stocks in that sector outperforming the index

Outperformance vs a benchmark index like the NASDAQ

Cousin Strategy – stocks related to a leading stock, could be the supplier

Leader vs Laggard – what is the top stock in the top sector, vs the worst stock in the best sector

Leaders have strong fundamentals & growth

Laggards are stagnant, price is not moving or going down

Factors of Leaders: 1. Explosive Growth, 2. Brand Recognition, 3. Innovation – new products, 4. Financial Efficiency – ROE, & 5. Price – Price Action going up

Search for best stocks in best sectors

See what search shows, related news stories about stocks in same sector

Comparison Stocks – stocks in the same sector or industry, competitors sometimes

You are looking for a few stocks to be doing well in a sector, as a really good stock can carry other similar stocks

Search for Stocks with the highest Relative Strength

Fundamental Analysis -

Tech stocks tend to have a higher P/E Ratio, you pay more for growth stocks, they are rarely cheap. Look for low debt and sales growth.

Earnings growth or innovation (new products) move a tech stock price up

You want consistent upward trending earnings, quarter over quarter of 20%, also compare to prior year to look for 20% growth year over year in same quarter

High Interest rates can hurt tech stocks, and drive down the price of stocks

Technical Analysis –

Look for a sloping up trend on a chart, 45% angle, vs hyper unsustainable growth of a straight up 90% angle.

Stocks need time to bake and can consolidate for months in a range of $150 - $170 before breaking out to $250 over next few months.
