RISING STOCKS IN RISING SECTORS

Written By: Stan Heller

Despite unrelenting fears about high inflation and a possible recession, almost all global stock markets delivered positive gains in January. To see what’s really happening, we need to check with VectorVest.

Run a QuickTest of the VectorVest US Global Market ETFs WatchList in VectorVest 7 US from January 3rd to January 31st. The WatchList is in the Cherry Picking Folder. Below are the top 15 leaders. Notice Canada, EWC delivered a solid return of 10.11% and the Nasdaq 100, QQQ was up 11.40%. China, FXI, didn’t make the top 15, but it gained 8.46%, which is good news for the global economy.

 

 

 

Notice the average gain of all 43 ETFs was 8.06%, with 41 winners and just two losers. India, INDA, was down 2.17% and Turkey, TUR, was down 10.22%. The VectorVest Composite (US) gained 8.17%. For comparison, the TSX Capped Composite Index, represented by iShares XIC, gained 6.95%. The broad market index VectorVest Composite Canada (VVC/CA) was up 5.82%.

With the market rallying, VectorVest Canada signaled a Confirmed Up (C/Up) call on November 15, 2022. Despite a pullback in early December before resuming the uptrend, it has been an excellent time to buy stocks. There’s an old saying, “Birds of a feather flock together.” So it is with the global ETFs, and so it is with Sectors. The Global Market ETFs WatchList and the VectorVest Composite Indices are a good barometer of global market performance. When the market is rallying, here is a quick search to find rising stocks in rising sectors.

 

 

 

You can, of course, modify the search criteria as you wish. I like that this search shows how you can combine Sector Price Deltas with Stock Price Deltas. Graph the 10 stocks using the NPI Near Perfect Graph Layout. Add the 5, 8 and 13 EMAs as shown below. Favour the stocks in the early stages of breaking out with substantial momentum of the RT 5-Day MA, such as Airboss, BOS, Century Lithium, LCE and, Enthusiast Gaming, EGLX.

 

 

 

Try the search. I think you will agree it shows an effective way to use VectorVest’s Delta operator to find RISING STOCKS IN RISING SECTORS.
