2. SUB-INDUSTRIES AND STOCKS DETAIL

2A. Sub-Industries Overview

Strengthened: 0/8 sub-industries
Weakened: 0/8 sub-industries

STRONGEST at Stronger rating/3rd strongest of 9 levels:

  • Semiconductor - Memory Chips (4 stocks)

WEAKEST at Weaker rating/7th strongest of 9 levels:

  • Semiconductor - Integrated Circuits (14 stocks)
  • Semiconductor - Specialized (17 stocks)

2B. Sub-Industries 10-Week Strengthening Analysis

What: recent week-by-week strength changes for the industry and each underlying sub-industry
Why: objective measurement of strengthening and weakening enabling comparison within and across industries and sub-industries

2C. Stocks 1 Week Strongest and Weakest

What: stocks currently rated Strongest/Weakest (highest/lowest of 9 strength ratings)
Why: most interesting stocks for available capital because

  • the Strongest have the least amount of overhead supply to dampen breakouts while
  • the Weakest may be prone to volatility, subject to big pops from bottom-fishing and short-covering BUT ALSO to bigger and faster falls.

(Not guaranteed and not a recommendation - weak stocks in weakening sub-industries may be better shorts than high-flyers.)

Strongest to Weakest stocks ratio is 14:41 (11% and 34% of total) 09/28/23 to 10/05/23.
