Stocks or Exchange Traded Products
Another week with no exits, as our core strategy of buying our top ten names and holding them until they get stopped out (and then replacing them with a new top ten name) continues to perform well. As we noted in our top names post on Thursday, 16 out of 20 of our top names cohorts from this year have outperformed the market over the next six months.

We placed seven earnings trades this week using our current methodology, which we outlined here:
Of those seven trades, five were winners (unfortunately, we didn’t get a fill on one of the winners, which was Dick’s Sporting Goods (DKS 0.98%↑). But this looks like progress. We’ll enter the 5-day returns of all the stocks we analyzed for earnings trades this week (including the ones we passed on) in our spreadsheet this weekend, and we’ll update the weightings on our factors for next week’s earnings trades.
