JC's been pounding the table to me about Abbott Labs $ABT for a couple weeks now.
I've been slow playing it, waiting for some new highs. We're getting them now. It's time to get involved.
The base $ABT formed over the last three months is a thing of beauty. And the fact that it's in a hot sector and printing new all-time highs is only sweetener. Then when you add in the fact that options premiums are at the lowest levels since March and I'm starting to get pretty excited.
I don't prefer getting long stocks that aren't breaking through to some kind of major new high or an all-time high. But every so often the stars align to play for the end of a major downtrend with some clearly defined levels of support to lean against.
We're finding that right now in the recently maligned Marijuana stocks space.
This time, we're looking for stocks displaying long-term trends of absolute momentum and relative strength...and we're buying them.
Let's get into the charts.
Here's Canadian national Railway going out at all-time highs last week. From a structural perspective, this signals the continuation of the stock's long-term uptrend and indicates a target up towards 160. If you want to keep your risk management tight, then 128 is the level, but if you want to give it more room then this thesis remains intact if prices are above 120.

In early May we outlined the "Five Bull Market Barometers" we're watching to identify the beginning of a new bull market in stocks.
If you haven't read our initial post linked above, we'd encourage you to check it out so you understand what the rationale behind these five indicators is.
Now, let's see where these indicators ended the week.
Historically, new 52-week lows are not a characteristic of an uptrend. These are things we see when the asset in question is under pressure. With the Dollar Index continuing to sell-off, what are some of the broader implications?
We haven't taken a look at the Marijuana sector in a while, so today I'm going to review where the sector stands on an absolute and relative basis...and which stocks we're buying (if any).
Normally I'd have a pun or two here, but I've decided to take the high road and focus solely on the charts this time.
First, let's start at the index level with the Alternative Harvest ETF (MJ). prices gapped below our price objective at 12.60 earlier in the year, consolidated for two months, and then gapped back above it...forming an "island reversal" bottom on the weekly chart.

Since then, prices have successfully retested support multiple times, so it would appear the bias is higher towards 22 as long as we're above 12.60.
On a relative basis, this thing is sitting down near all-time lows relative to the S&P 500. Momentum...
