If you are wondering what this means, I used it in the last post. Let's get to the heart of it and why I said it seems the technical indicators are looking favorably towards this style of selecting investments for portfolios.
From last time...."The bottom up buying of stocks or ETFs despite what the overall market is doing is becoming more attractive based on our technical indicators" When 3 of 4 stocks (on average) go lower due to the overall negativity of the market declining (top down), bottom up (selecting stocks or specific sector ETFs) is a way to help what we buy as we use technical indicators as a guide
This won't always work. This past week, our process has been building some stocks with higher yields to accumulate for the expected 2025 volatility. Earnings news caused declines. Chance to buy more? Check out our action on your account(s) to see the answer.
Bottom line with Bottom Up.....we work to find stronger stocks/etfs based on technical analysis and own them within our Growth Stock and Technical Trader allocation models. But we also like to buy Bottom Up in our Core and Dividend stock models over longer periods of time -which often means a larger range being used to accumulate a position.
Confused? No sweat - you have us! We do this for you. Or please call to learn more as it relates to you and your plan!
