Today’s dual scan surfaced 101 candidates (actionable 0, watch 0, avoid 101). Market regime: Confirmed Uptrend. Published 2026-09-08 17:39.
The Market Comes First
The tape reads Confirmed Uptrend. I never fight the general market — three out of four stocks follow it. I only put money to work when the market is in a confirmed uptrend; when distribution stacks up or a correction sets in, I raise cash and wait. No individual chart is good enough to override that.
How I Screen — My Rules, Not Opinions
| Rule | Threshold | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Quarterly EPS YoY | ≥ 25% | current earnings power (C) |
| RS Rating | ≥ 80 | buy leaders, not laggards (L) |
| Price | ≥ $15 | avoid low-priced stocks |
| Trend | above 50 & 200-day MA | buy only in an uptrend |
| Entry window | buy point to +5% | never chase extended (N) |
| Reward/Risk | ≥ 3:1 | 8% stop vs ~25% target |

Nothing to Buy Today
Not one name earned a buy under my rules today. That is a decision, not a failure: in a hostile or extended market the money you don’t lose is what matters. I scan every session and publish the moment leaders set up — subscribe to get the exact buy points, stops and annotated charts as soon as they trigger.
