Episode notes
Favor Tight Bases And Use Chart Stops
- Prefer bases with tighter price action and signs of accumulation when choosing swing trades.
- Use recent red-day lows as final swing-trade stops for volatile names like BWXT.
Laggards Are In Position But Less Attractive
- A laggard within a hot group is technically 'in position' but may underperform group leaders.
- Increasing allocation to extended leaders can be better than buying the laggard.
