This morning was very choppy, and then the market straightened itself out.
I mentioned in the live trading room that we’re really due for a bounce.
And then, late in the afternoon, we got it.

We are riding a fine line.
The $SPX and the $NAS are sitting right at their respective 200-day moving averages. The $RUT is the strongest as of now.
Question is do we break down or start to bounce.

The February hangover is now behind us, and following a month of corrective action, we think stocks will embark on a fresh leg higher soon.
Risk appetite continues to improve, and market internals are as healthy as we’ve seen in years.
This is an environment where we want to be looking for stocks to buy.
Today, we have a newly-public growth stock that is making new highs and has been outperforming aggressively this year.
Let’s dive in.

Welcome to the 2 to 100 Club.
As many of you know, something we’ve been working on internally is using various bottom-up tools and scans to complement our top-down approach. It’s really been working for us!
One way we’re doing this is by identifying the strongest growth stocks as they climb the market-cap ladder from small- to mid- to large- and, ultimately, to mega-cap status (over $200B).
Once they graduate from small-cap to mid-cap status (over $2B), they come on our radar. Likewise, when they surpass the roughly $30B mark, they roll off our list.
But the scan doesn’t just end there.
We only want to look at the strongest growth industries in the market, as that is typically where these potential 50-baggers come from.
Some of the best performers in recent decades – stocks like Priceline, Amazon, Netflix, Salesforce, and myriad others – would have been on this list at some point during their journey to becoming the market behemoths they are today.
When you look at the stocks in our table, you’ll notice we’re only focused on Technology and Growth industry groups such as Software, Semiconductors, Online Retail, Solar, etc.
Then, like any good technician, we filter the list down to those closest to new highs.
This allows the cream of these strong groups to rise to the top and helps streamline our mission to identify technical breakouts in the top-performing stocks.

March has started off on shaky ground.
The $SPX tested the 200-day moving average at 3,940 again.
It bounced, but we’ll see if it can hold this level.
