Is the market in a position to move higher?  Yes.  Should you jump back in with both feet?  No.  You need to wade in slowly.  That’s exactly what we’ll be at Noram Asset Management.

Wade in to what?  That is the question you have.  You’ve heard me discuss and talk on the radio show I co-host that about the importance of only investing and trading in the top 2% of the market.  That means only buying the best merchandise or stocks.  When you’re screening, screen for stocks with superior fundamentals and superior technicals.

Pull a chart of EOG Resources (EOG) and Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG): do your stocks look like these two watch-list candidates?   These two stocks meet our stringent demands – does that mean that you rush out and buy them right away – no!  There is no rush.  Like us you should have defined process of what triggers you into the trade, how you’re going to scale in and what are your pre-defined exit points.  This is critical.  Have a plan and then stick to it!

You also don’t have to buy shares of the companies on your watch-list.  Utilizing a credit spread is one of the most forgiving ways to make money in the market.  Is it guaranteed? Of course not – can it become more consistent and predictable way for you to make money in the market?  I believe so.

If you’d like to talk to me on twitter my handle is @TJReazor – I often talk stocks and markets there.

 

Best Regards,

Tim
