Discover the Market’s Strongest Stocks
Issues
There was definitely some churning in the leading areas of the market from early February into last week’s Fed meeting, but there wasn’t much abnormal action, and the past few days have seen the buyers back at it, helping many leading stocks of all stripes pop. Now, we don’t consider the action as a brand-new buy signal, but the major evidence of the market (trends are up for most indexes and sectors) never wavered, so we’re holding most of our winners and looking to increase exposure in names that are enjoying big-volume accumulation. We’ll nudge our Market Monitor up at level 8.

This week’s list is a bit of a hodgepodge, with different types of names from varying sectors. For our Top Pick, we’ll go with a name from a strong sector that has seen its business turn up in a major way while the stock’s recent action looks like a major change in investor perception.
Updates: Movers & Shakers
It’s been a relatively quiet holiday-shortened week from the big-cap indexes, with all of them about unchanged on the week. That said, there have been two main themes in recent days.


The first is rotation—small-cap, mid-cap and equal-weight indexes are up in the 1% to 2.5% range on the week, and not only that, we’ve seen more and more old world/value-type names perk up, with more than a few bounding to new highs. (The Russell 2000 and S&P 600 SmallCap are both testing recent highs as well.)
