The Blue Dot List:

Our newest feature for finding top stocks

Stock Guide // 2019 Q2

At MarketSmith, our team is always looking for ways to improve our product and help our members invest better. Our newest featured stock list is quickly becoming a favorite among both long-time members and our inhouse team: RS Line Blue Dot, better known around here as "The Blue Dot List." Check out this issue's feature article for a full rundown of what Blue Dot stocks are and why you should be checking this new list frequently.

For our featured interview this month, we talked to Joe Fahmy, a professional Investment Advisory Representative with nearly two decades of trading experience. Joe has been using MarketSmith for years to find and evaluate new stock trades through a fundamental and technical lens. He shares some of his experiences in the market, as well as his predictions for Q2.

Finally, we're excited to introduce a new regular feature to our Stock Guide readers. In Good Trade/Bad Trade, we'll talk to one of our in-house experts about two of their recent trades--one winner and one loser--and see what they did right and wrong. This month's subject is MarketSmith Product Coach Andrew Rocco, who dives into some revealing technical analysis of Baozun (BZUN) and talks about his mistakes buying into the volatile Tesla (TSLA).

As always, if you have any questions or comments about your investing research or any MarketSmith features, please call one of our product coaches at (800) 831-2525 or email us at reachus@. We're here to help you make more money in the market.

Feature Article: The MarketSmith Blue Dot

MarketSmith's newest stock list is already one of its most popular among subscribers. It's called RS Line Blue Dot, and if you're not checking it for new stock ideas, you could be missing out.

Here's How It Works

Stocks make the RS Line Blue Dot list when they satisfy two criteria: first, they've hit a 52-week high in their Relative Strength line. This is where you'll notice a translucent blue dot appear on the Relative Strength line of the stock's chart. Second, the stock is currently building a base. If both of these conditions occur, the stock goes on the list for 90 days. You can access the list by clicking on the "Open Stock Ideas" button in the top-right corner on any MarketSmith chart.

What does that mean? Two things.

The first thing stocks on the Blue Dot list have shown is that they are outperforming the market (specifically, the S&P 500) in the strongest way possible. This is important because the highest-potential stocks will show strength by outperforming the market in any market conditions.

If the market's down, good stocks will outperform by treading water and setting up for a spike when the market character changes to an uptrend. In good market conditions, the best stocks will offer the biggest gains relative to other high-performance names. Ultimately, it's all about maximizing opportunity; since you can only buy a finite amount of stocks, it makes sense to prioritize the best ones.

The second important characteristic of Blue Dot stocks is that they're building a base, which means you're not chasing an extended stock that has less potential for short-term growth. After all, even the best stocks take time to retrench after sizeable runs. A stock that's currently in a base will have a clear buy point in MarketSmith thanks to the Pattern Recognition feature.

Blue Dot Case Study: KEYS

Let's look at a recent Blue Dot stock. Keysight (KEYS) is a company that stands to benefit from the forthcoming adoption of the 5G standard in wireless data. To bring 5G networks and smart devices to market, wireless service providers and electronics makers use Keysight's technologies to test and optimize their designs.

The company itself was showing very bullish fundamentals in late 2018: accelerating earnings, steady sales and a strong ROE. KEYS started forming a cup-shaped base in August 2018; as it began to form the right side of the base, its Relative Strength line hit a new high eight times during December 2018 and January 2019! Keep in mind, KEYS was outperforming the S&P during the December market correction that dragged down stocks across the board--a classic sign that a stock is one to watch when a new uptrend starts.

To recap, as KEYS neared its buy point in January 2019, it had very strong fundamentals and eight recent Blue Dot appearances in MarketSmith--a rare combination of superior technical and fundamental strength aligning at the right time.

On January 24, 2019, KEYS broke out in volume 91% above average and rose 4.5% from the day prior. It closed up in price 19 out of the next 21 trading days before entering a +20% profit target zone. Stocks don't get much easier to hold than that.
