For busy investors that don’t have time to Swing Trade, we now have a simple Strategy:
Top Pick of the Week. You Buy the “Pick” on Monday morning, and then Sell on Friday’s Close. It’s a time-efficient approach designed to capture short-term gains without requiring constant market monitoring.
This “Pick” is emailed to you with this Weekly Commentary (see Pick below & more details here).
The Top Pick of the Week is still: ADTRAN Inc. $ADTN was down last week after Gapping Up 6% on last Monday’s Open. We will keep it for another week, and Sell on the Close this Friday. Too much short term Buying demand has been causing Gap Ups lately, so maybe WAIT a while before Buying). Second option: $FORM.
You can view the superior Weekly Stock Performance.

5/17/2026 Markets were mixed again for the week, after the historic Semiconductor / AI Stocks had a Buying Climax and Short Squeeze. This has not been seen since the Internet Bubble in 1999. The S&P 500 & NASAQ 100 Funds were able to make higher highs again this week, but weakened on the Close.
The Small Caps were down over 2 % this week and only 44 % of the S&P 500 Stocks are still above the 50-day averages, which historically is a big Warning Sign. This is why the Swing Trades are not successful now. The Indices that are not loaded up with Semis are hardly moving (DOW 30 & NYSE).
The major indices are extremely over-bought and back up in the Red Zones (probably too late to Buy for the short term). FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and GREED from the Magician / Media has Dumb Money Panic Buying now, so we are Raising CASH on Stocks that are not able to get back up near the Highs.
WAIT to Buy the Leaders that made highs recently, once they correct back down to the Green Zones. SEE WATCH LIST If you follow the Green Line System and you should continue to win more than you lose.
With the Green Line System, your Money should flow into the Strongest areas and your Account value should be able to grow in both Bull and Bear Markets. Follow the MONEY, not the MEDIA.
