25 AUG 2024 Ludicrous Returns Stock Model Update

Stocks recently sold: CLFD, MKTX, MRVI

Sell Now Triggers: BALY, EXFY

Ever since the merger with Affiliates of Standard, the stock price and market price have flat-lined in a straight horizontal line. This pattern is a sell trigger in the model. In this case, it’s best to re-deploy that capital into a stock with potential of upward momentum in the intermediate term.

The 200D started a decline vs the former 200D average close. The first day of 200D average decline occurred on 20 AUG, triggering a sell. Don’t worry on missing anything, I just captured the technical analysis signal myself this weekend. I like to share bits of my model in case you decide to use and exercise more efficiently. This could be a short-term sell. If the 200D starts to affirm a positive incline, which could happen very soon, the buy-back would be triggered.

Stock Model Recent Buy Triggers:

21 AUG: EOSE, NOVA, KRNT, GKOS (as previously updated on last week post, reference reply update)

New Buy Now Triggers: APP, DT, D, DKS, ESOA, IESC, LIN, NMRK, OCX, OPRA, POWL, SG, SHYF, SWIM, UHS, WNS

ESOA has a good business model of repairing and reconditioning gas line repair. I predict regular growth ahead for this industry, given the aging infrastructure. POWL is a great company to invest in relative to the electric utility expansion, given the huge growing needs for more electric utility capacity to support EVs and AI power needs. Sweet Green (SG) is a good play relative to two growing trends: Healthy eating and restaurant automation technology. UHS is showing just too beautiful of a pattern to ignore the uptrend.
