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

  • the Strongest may be meme-stock mania candidates prone to breakouts, and
  • the Weakest may be prone to large bottom-fishing/short-covering-driven pops... and may also be primed for 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 7:22 (13% and 39% of total) 09/11/23 to 09/18/23.
