Weekly Commentary
The NASDAQ Composite led the three major indexes to new highs this week with a gain of 1.2%. The index has gained 6.5% year to date, almost double that of the S&P 500. Most breakouts come from NASDAQ listed stocks, which is why we follow it each week. Action on Thursday and Friday took the index above the medium term trend of daily highs, but Friday's 'Doji' candlestick, resulting from an afternoon pull-back, showed that traders feared that the market was getting ahead of itself. Nevertheless, the index closed  at a new high.

The number of breakouts jumped to 27 from 16 last week. Subscribers and regular readers know that our suggested trading strategy is to focus on stocks with an RS Rank of at least 94. If you look at our table of the week's breakouts below, you will see that stocks with an RS Rank of at least 94 filled the top three slots and 8 out of the top 10.

See our table of top ranked stocks below for stocks that met the RS Rank requirement as of Friday's close.
