place to find investing ideas!
IBD¡¯s founder created the first daily stock computer database
in the 1960s. IBD now has models of all top-performing stocks
each year from 1880 to 2008. We analyzed all key fundamental
& market variables present just before these super-winners
increased 100% to 1000% and up. They all emerged from one
of seven classic price consolidation structures (chart bases of
seven to 65 weeks). Crucially, over 90% of these bases were
formed during general market sell-offs that occur once or twice
a year.

IBD¡¯s 197 Industry Sub-Group
Rankings Help You See New Trends!
So, the correct time to learn to buy the next potential big new
leader that has accelerating earnings and sales is when a key
general market index finally rallies. The signal occurs on a
fourth or later day of its attempted rally, when the index has a
follow-through day up a huge percentage in price on a volume
increase from the day before. Once this happens, the best
stocks typically move up in price and emerge from properly
formed bases.
Specific industry groups lead every new market
uptrend, & specific stocks within those groups
are the drivers. Group action also influences at
least half of a stock¡¯s performance.
IBD¡¯s 197 Industry Sub-Group Rankings filters
stocks into very specific sub-groups to help
you find where the real leadership resides.
This helps you focus on key stocks driving
the trends and making better price gains! It¡¯s
essential information you can¡¯t get anywhere
else!
Therefore, you need to learn to read charts and track IBD¡¯s
market indexes. IBD¡¯s The Big Picture column will help you by
pointing out follow-through days as well as periods of excessive
distribution (selling) days over any 4 or 5 week period.
So, keep learning more from IBD and discover how to
capitalize on America¡¯s relentless parade of remarkable new
entrepreneurial leaders!
Industry rankings are computed based on
performance over the past week, three, six and
seven months. Strongest groups each day are
boldfaced to identify potential trends early on.
The weakest are underlined.
