9/6 Top Prospects

Thirty-seven breakouts beyond the 55-day price channel among the 600+ stocks and exchange traded funds I screened. All of them have strong trends.

Many of the companies are either headquartered in Europe or have heavy exposure on the contitent, where markets today did a fair semblance of a collapse.

A change in procedure: I’ll no longer be tracking parabolic sar changes in the Top Prospects report. The minimum price that I’m tracking, for stocks, is $15 per share. There’s no lower limit on the price for exchange-traded funds.
