5 Must-See Stocks to Trade for Gains
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) --Stocks are continuing to power through the week on the heels of one of the biggest single-week gains in the S&P 500 since 2009. And solid trading setups are coming out of the woodwork right now. Here's a look at how you can take advantage this week.
I kicked off last week's column by saying that it "could be a big week for the bulls." I wasn't just talking about percentage gains (which certainly panned out) -- I was also talking about the technical significance of a bounce in the broad market. Now, with a "floor" set in the S&P, the bulls are certainly back in town.
The last few mini-rally sessions in the S&P 500 haven't been quite as compelling. In the past, stocks have moved higher, but they've largely been missing market breadth. This time, stocks aren't just moving higher -- they're also pushing through key resistance levels. That's a very bullish sign that traders shouldn't be ignoring right now.
