Stock GuideAutumn 2015
It has been a tough and volatile market over the past couple months. Year-to-date, the Nasdaq is up less than 1% after being up as much as 10% in mid-July. Since then, global economic fears and a potential Fed rate hike contributed to the selloff that caused the Nasdaq to drop 18% from its high on August 24, 2015. Over the last several weeks, the Nasdaq has rallied back up to its 50-day moving average line where it found significant resistance. Leading stocks have followed suit. Now is the time to remain patient and disciplined as investors search for new, emerging leadership amidst a global correction.
In this Autumn Stock Guide, we will highlight the importance of maintaining a routine that can find the leading stocks going forward. Market corrections are constructive. As the market rallies, new leadership emerges and recognizable chart patterns form. Lastly, we will analyze the mechanics of a follow-through day—a key indicator of a potential shift in the market.
The screens in this Autumn Stock Guide sift through the MarketSmith database to find potential future leaders. As the market corrects, it’s important to look for stocks that are outperforming the general market and building sound bases.
Best returns,

During market corrections, it is easy to tune out and grow disillusioned with the market. However, a market correction is an opportunity to regroup and find the next cycle’s leaders. The big question is how long you should remain on the sidelines during a market correction. If you jump back in too soon, the rally may fade and you’ll lose money. If you hesitate at the beginning of a new bull cycle, opportunities may pass you by. The best method of determining a market shift is by waiting for a confirmation day of institutional participation, a follow-through day (FTD).
After the market has been hitting lows, it will eventually begin to rally. As it rallies, you will want to look for a bullish signal that will alert you that institutions are participating in the current rally. A FTD occurs on Day 4 or later of a rally attempt. The price must be up at least 1.25% on volume that is heavier than the prior day. In addition, there should be leading stocks breaking out of recognizable bases on heavy volume. Remember, a FTD does not mean you should buy just any stock. It gives you the go-ahead to buy high-quality stocks with strong earnings and sales breaking out of sound bases. Some of the best stocks throughout history have had breakouts that coincided with a FTD, so you should be building watch lists of potential leaders during market corrections. That way you’ll be ready when the next bull market arrives.
How to Handle Market Corrections

Finding the Next Cycle’s LeadersAs the market corrects, it is common for growth stocks to fall 2 1/2 times the index. Former leading stocks will fall and break through long-term support levels, like the 50- and 200-day moving average lines. Some of them may never rebound and will continue to lag the indices in the future. Determining the future leading stocks requires watching the market action on a daily or weekly basis to find which stocks are handling the correction better than others. Two easy ways are the Relative Strength line and the Relative Strength rating. These two indicators measure the stock’s relative performance versus the general market and the other stocks in the database.

However, it is not only about relative price strength. Fundamentals may be an indicator of stock price appreciation as well, so investors should focus on companies with strong earnings and sales growth. An easy way to identify companies with strong earnings is the proprietary EPS Rating that measures earnings growth using the two most recent quarters of earnings growth and the company’s five year growth rate.

RS Line New High
Key divergences are a crucial part of relative strength, especially with abnormal strength on a weak market day.
This screen identifies stocks whose RS Lines are reaching
new highs over the last 52-weeks and is designed to be run
during general market weakness. Stocks that are bucking
the downward pressure may be primed to move significantly
higher once the market pressure alleviates.

Top EPS Rated Stocks
Strong fundamentals are an integral part of stock price appreciation.
Institutions will try to hold onto the best companies
during periods of market weakness, which means that
those companies will typically correct less than the
general market. This screen identifies stocks that have
top EPS Ratings. The EPS Rating measures fundamental
performance based on the most recent two quarters of
earnings and the 3-5 year growth rate.
