Stock Market Ready for Profit-Taking | Ford Mach-E Unveiled
The stock market has traded into six consecutive well-bid weeks.
It's time to place that trailing stop-loss. The Santa Clause rally has completed. Take your profits and have a nice holiday.
Why? Because starting new trades without a significant decline sets up horrible reward potential for the risk needed to justify the trade.
I'm not buying new breakouts. I'm looking for bullish stocks closing on the lows.
Can stocks continue to climb? Sure. Is it a good NEW long? No.
If you want to be a great trader you must learn to answer these questions with clarity:
"Is it a good long? Is it a good long now?
Clearly the first answer is yes. The second is no.
If you feel you must be long today, here is a list of stocks that traded double their normal volume on Friday and meet the criteria for bullish order flow.
Have a great day.

The Streaming Era Has Finally Arrived. Everything Is About to Change.
LOS ANGELES — Every three decades, or roughly once a generation, Hollywood experiences a seismic shift. The transition from silent films to talkies in the 1920s. The rise of broadcast television in the 1950s. The raucous “I Want My MTV” cable boom of the 1980s.
