Winners and losers

Here at The Pivotal Perspective we are trying to catch the winners, hold those, then take some gains and rotate into other winners. This can be long term, medium term or short term depending on your style and role in the market. 

We avoid the losers, or hedge, or short. 

A lot has changed this week. Here's a rundown of the things I track. 

Strongest
DIA - above all pivots, above YR1
IWM - above all pivots, above YR1
SOXX/SMH - continuing strong above all pivots, above YR1, above 2HR2
