Ten Rules for Pocket Pivots
1. As with base breakouts, proper pocket pivots should emerge within or out of constructive basing patterns. 2. The stock's fundamentals should be strong, i.e., excellent earnings, sales, pretax margins, ROE, strong leader in its space, etc. 3. The day's volume should be larger than the highest down volume day over the prior 10 days. 4. If the pocket pivot occurs in an uptrend after the stock has broken out, it should act constructively around its 10-dma. It can undercut its

The day I dumped all my Airline stocks
2 days ago, I dumped 2 prominent Asian airline stocks — Singapore Airlines (C6L) on SGX and Cathay Pacific Airways (293) on HKEX. It is a late move on my part due to expectations of possible recovery towards the end of the year. However with the onset of second wave and even third wave for COVID-19 in some countries, I strongly believe that it is a move that is better executed now than never. Both SIA and Cathay had recent rights issue (Jun and Jul respectively) as part of a
