Spring Stock Guide // 2017 Q2

We’re excited to share some new changes to the MarketSmith Stock Guide.

We surveyed our customers and asked what they found useful and what
they’d like to see in future issues. Overwhelmingly, customers asked how
other MarketSmith users discover new stock ideas. They wanted more
screens, previews of new features, and ongoing tips and information to
improve their investing research.

We decided to focus this edition completely on customer success stories


and asked one of our favorite MarketSmith users to help tell them. Amy
Smith, IBD Market Commentator and author of How to Make Money in
Stocks Success Stories, talked with three MarketSmith users about their
recent stock successes and the screening criteria they use to surface
winning stocks.

Amy will be a permanent addition to our Stock Guide content team and
will be sharing more success stories from MarketSmith users. We hope you
learn from their stories so you can find greater investing success.

As always, if you have any questions or comments about your investing


research or any MarketSmith features, please call one of our product
coaches at (800) 831-2525 or email us at [email protected].
We’re here to help you make more money in the market.

Customer Success Story: ABE CHRISTENSEN

Apple’s Low Composite Rating Inspired


This Investor’s Winning Screen
Abe Christensen is one of the IBD Meetup Leaders from Sausalito,
California and has used MarketSmith since it launched in September 2010.
Abe has been an avid investor for many years, using IBD and Daily Graphs
prior to MarketSmith.

Abe has always looked for new, reliable data points to help him find solid
growth stocks. After trying a variety of screening criteria, Abe’s success
finding market winners really picked up when he added these parameters:

• Composite Rating of 99

• Using MarketSmith’s Pattern Recognition, stocks near


a pivot in a first or second stage base

• Relative strength line in new high ground ahead of the


price

Always looking to improve his results, Abe was inspired to buy Apple’s
powerful breakout in 2004. With a Composite Rating at a paltry 57, Abe
created a screen that would capture a stock that didn’t necessarily have a
high Composite Rating but still had great potential.

After several screening iterations, Abe developed the 29/29 screen. He


uses 29% expected EPS growth for the next quarter and 29% expected
growth for the next year. To refine the list a bit, Abe also added 20%
increase in revenues for the most recent quarter.

In June, 2016, Mobileye had been struggling for several quarters and

4
the Composite Rating was
lackluster. But it had earnings
projections above 29% for the
2nd quarter and for the full
year. This earned Mobileye
a spot on Abe’s watchlist
and when it began to rally up
off its lows in March/April,
2016, Abe began looking for a
proper buy point.

Following a first stage eight-


week double bottom base,
Mobileye shot up through its 50 DMA on June 17. Volume was 52%
greater than average and the RS line tilted up sharply around the 1 o’clock
position. Abe bought his full position that day and the next.

Of course, buying is just half the battle. Knowing when to sell a stock and
lock in profits is important for successful investing. Abe used a sell rule
found in How to Make Money in Stocks, by William O’Neil, “the first short
term correction”. Using MarketSmith Pattern Recognition to support his
decision-making, Abe sold Mobileye on July 28 when it achieved a 20% gain.

_________________________________________________________________________________

“As IBD Founder William O’Neil often said,


‘Never stop learning.”
– Abe Christensen

29/29 Earnings Expectation

Look for stocks with current and forward


guidance of 29%+

Super stocks usually have a high Composite


Rating, but there are exceptions. Looking for
stocks with strong quarterly earnings as well as
expected growth for the coming year, can alert
investors to stocks that they might not have on
their radar otherwise.

Customer Success Story: LEE TANNER

Curious About Weibo, This Investor


Knew to Wait for the Proper Base
Lee Tanner became interested in stock investing in 1985. His father had
been a big fan of IBD Founder William O’Neil and Lee soon became an IBD
and Daily Graphs subscriber. Lee heads up the Petaluma, California IBD
Meetup group.

Lee began using MarketSmith when it launched in September 2010. It was


through the MarketSmith forum that Lee met Abe Christensen from the
Saulsalito IBD Meetup and the two friends have been exchanging investing
tips ever since. Since the two Meetup groups are within 30 miles of each
other, Abe is also a regular contributor to Lee’s group.

In fact, Lee has been using Abe’s 29/29 stock screen on a regular basis
to find high growth stocks. It was at the end of March 2016 that Lee first
noticed Weibo on the 29/29 screen.

The stock was forming a cup-shaped base. It was a bit deep at 41%, but
this was due to a market correction. Lee bought the stock early based on
quiet trading in the low of the handle April 1. He based the buy rule from
The Successful Investor by William O’Neil, which states that “professional
money managers get in even earlier around the bottom pullback point of
the handle when volume has subsided substantially.”

Weibo’s fundamental data was very strong, and the RS line had been
moving into new high ground. In addition, there were two weekly spikes
in volume showing professional buying the weeks of March 4 and March
11. Lee had been anxious to own this stock and made note of the quarterly
triple-digit earnings and high double digit sales numbers.

10
Daily

Weibo earned a 215% gain from the low of the handle April 1 until it began
to pull back. It then began a new double bottom base from November 2016
– January 2017.

Besides the 29/29 screen, Lee runs an accelerating screen, looking for three
quarters of both accelerating EPS and sales growth. To further refine the
stocks, Lee adds another criteria, ATM (after tax margin), accelerating for 3
quarters. That cuts the results to about 1/3 of the above screen.

_________________________________________________________________________________

“Never give up, re-read Bill O’Neil’s


books; if investing was easy to master,
there would be no money to be made
doing it.” – Lee Tanner

Accelerating Growth

Find stocks experiencing growth in revenue


and earnings

Historically, some of the market’s leading stocks


will show not only a strong EPS growth rate, but
an acceleration in both earnings and sales. In
Bill O’Neil’s book, How to Make Money in Stocks,
he writes “take particular note if the growth of
both sales and earnings has accelerated for the
last three quarters.”

Customer Success Story: MIKE ZIMMERMAN

This Investor Finds Stocks That Hit on


Multiple Screens
An active investor, Mike Zimmerman leads the IBD Meetup in St. Louis
Missouri and began using MarketSmith in September 2010. Mike likes
using MarketSmith’s Pattern Recognition as it makes it easy to identify big
breakouts or secondary buy points.

As with Lee Tanner, Weibo also surfaced for Mike when he ran some of
MarketSmith’s preset screens. Weibo’s technical and fundamental action
caught Mike’s attention as it was forming a cup-shaped base in March
2016. Mike first noticed Weibo on a weekly chart in early March because
volume on both the daily and weekly charts moved sharply higher due
to a stellar earnings report. Professional buyers were beginning to take
positions in the stock.

Mike made note of the 5 quarters of triple-digit earnings prior to the


breakout in April. Weibo also
had a dominant position in
its industry group (Internet-
Content) with a “Twitter-like”
platform in China. Unlike
Twitter, Weibo’s model was
generating larger user growth
as small and medium-sized
businesses continued to
use Weibo to promote their
products.

*All screen results are computer-generated and were run on April 13, 2017.

16
Unfortunately, Mike learned an important lesson when he forgot to set
an alert and missed the actual breakout. It was still in the buy range so he
bought it the next day and held the position until it broke the 10-week
moving average in late October 2016. He sold half his position at that
point, and waited to see if Weibo would hold the 40-week line.

______________________________________________________________________________

“I’m always looking for strength, and


I tweak the parameters slightly on a
daily basis with some of the screens
based on how the market is acting.”
– Mike Zimmerman

100% Volume Increase

Identify stocks experiencing institutional


support

The biggest winners often have volume


that spikes 100% or more on the
breakout or as the stock is building
the right side of a base. This display of
volume shows professional buying power
coming into a stock.

Marketsmith.com // 2017 Q2 l MarketSmith Features

MarketSmith Features Highlight

MarketSmith has expanded its alerts capability with our


newest feature called Smart Alerts. Customers can add
up to 200 individual stocks to the Smart Alert lists to help
them monitor daily action.

Our first Smart Alert is Pullback to 10-week and is designed to identify


the first or second pullback to the 10-week line. This signal helps investors
identify a good point they might add to their positions when the market is
in a solid uptrend.

The second Smart Alert is the 50-Day Break on Volume and is more
defensive in nature. It is designed to detect a break of the 50-day moving
average. The alert will trigger if a stock falls 5% below the 50-day and
the volume is 50% or more above average. The 50-day Break alert only
triggers for stocks that have broken out of a proper base and had been in
an uptrend prior to the break.

The MarketSmith team added this new alert to help customers recognize
when a stock may be breaking down and sending a sell signal.

Another timely MarketSmith feature is the Earnings


Gap Up and Gap Down email. Earnings have become a
quarter-by-quarter game, so it’s vital to stay on top of
your stocks that could gap up or down on their earnings
reports.

While the list came out in August 2016, subscribers can now get these
notifications via email, desktop alerts and mobile app notifications. The
reports are also available through the Stock Ideas button on the desktop
platform and the Reports section in the List Manager.
