THE MARKET’s MESSAGE:  UPtrend holds above its 50-day line - a sign of Uptrend optimism.

I am still amazed at the strength of this Uptrending market – in the last 20 trading days, only 2 days were distribution (selling) days. See the table of the Nasdaq’s last 20 days action later in this report.

Tuesday’s index volumes took a healthy jump higher with increased volume on Tuesday as many first-string traders put in last minute orders before checking out for an extended Thanksgiving weekend. The index volumes are quite a bit under their averages today as expected on a Thanksgiving holiday week.

The current Accumulation/Distribution data is EXTRAORDINARY!!!!

I continue to be excited about the rise in the percent of  “A” and“B” rated stocks (stocks that are being heavily bought.) :

·      The “A” and “B” rated stockhave risen from 38% to 55% in just 2 weeks showing a very strong market in serious dumping losing stocks and buying winning stocks.  

The stocks with attractive “A”and “B” ratings stay at a very attractive 56%. That means you could through darts at the current market and probably hit a winning stock (although that is NOT my recommended buy strategy.)

HERE IS MY SURPRISE FIND TODAY– Catalyst Pharma, CPRX

Catalyst announced earning 2 weeks ago (+86%) which gave it the investor interest to form an attractive handle on a very pleasant cup and breakout today on volume that is 104% above average. I’ve included a daily chart above with its MarketSmith perfect ratings next to it.(Did I say perfect???  Yes.)

The only concern I have is, “What will it open at tomorrow?”  It could skyrocket before I can get my hands on it.  It will be fun to dream about it tonight

What do you think about Catalyst Pharma?

Wishing you and yours a happy and safe holiday.
