QMCO exploded 146% in one week.

This setup was fast, high conviction, and packed with lessons.

Here’s how to spot performance enhancer trades, manage risk, and lock in profits during explosive breakouts like this:

Performance enhancers are volatile, fast-moving stocks with big upside.
Not for core positions.

Use 10-15% of your account.

QMCO was a textbook example, breaking out from a tight range at the 10ema.

How to discover setups like QMCO:

- Track Deepvue leaders
- Sort by 1-month absolute strength
- Look for RMV 5 under 5 and a tight range against the 10ema

SOUN and RKLB were recent examples too

Bob Fehrmann has quietly been a top fund manager for 5 decades.

He's made it through the '73 crash, '87 Black Monday, all the way to today's market, and at one point managed nearly $11 billion.

Here are his 10 timeless growth stock trading rules (that still work in 2025):

1) The more simple you keep it, the longer you'll be in the game

"If it's above the 50-day moving average, I'm interested. If not, I ignore it."

Fehrmann keeps it dead simple. No need for 20 indicators when you can focus on a simple moving average to identify trend.

2) Do anything you can to stay in the game

Trading is a game of attrition.

"You just have to find a way to keep yourself in the game."

Keep your lists up to date, know which stocks are holding up the best, and be ready to deploy capital when the market environment shifts.

Most traders dream of a 409% return year.

Leos Mikulka did it at the US Investing Championship.

Here’s how he trades with precision, disciplines emotion, and captures big themes:

Free rolling = freedom

✔️ Lock in gains
✔️ Move stops higher
✔️ Take partial profits

→ If stopped out, worst case is break even

Stress-free trading starts with risk-managed freedom.

Hit 2R? Time to pay yourself

✔️ Scale out at 2x risk
✔️ Trim earlier if trade is extended or entry was aggressive
✔️ Respect overhead supply zones

→ Selling into strength helps lock in profits and reduce exposure.

Stan Weinstein just issued a warning: leadership is narrowing, and danger signs are flashing.

• He called the 1973 crash early
• Nailed the 2022 top
• Warned on Nvidia before it broke down

For 50+ years, Stan’s edge hasn’t been news; it’s been price stages, breadth, and repeatable patterns.

The Market Never Changes

In 1973, 2022, and now — the signs were the same:
• Indexes hit new highs

• Breadth quietly deteriorated

• Only a few names led

These “narrow rallies” are classic topping behavior. The advance/decline line gives the warning before prices do.

Oversold ≠ Buy

Oversold is potential, not confirmation.

Stan compares it to gas in a room; until someone lights a match, nothing happens.

Wait for reversal action: a sharp up move that confirms the shift. Otherwise, you're just guessing.

Identifying support near market lows is key to getting positioned for the next uptrend.

∙ Momentum shifting
∙ Clear lows to play against
∙ Tight action allows for better entries

Let's take a look at the market's current action, and some positive signs we're seeing:

Positive Sign #1: 3 Gap Downs In A Row

While some may think this is negative... "Why would it be positive for the market to be gapping down 3 days in a row?"

...it's the close that matters!

Here's $SPY:

As William O'Neil famously said, in bull markets you want to see weak opens with strong closes, and in bear markets you'll see strong opens with weak closes.

Stacking multiple sessions of weak opens and strong closes is a good first step to the market finding some rhythm again.

Most traders miss the best opportunities because they can't recognize a new bull market early.

Here’s how to identify major turning points using:

• Breadth signals
• Historical case studies
• Moving average trends

🧵 Let’s break it down:

Before you can spot market turns, build a solid foundation:

• Technical analysis (charts, trends, breadth)
• Fundamental analysis (earnings, revenue, leadership)
• Macro context (inflation, GDP, Fed policy)

All 3 pillars must align.

You're in a confirmed uptrend when:

• 10-day EMA > 21-day EMA
• 21-day EMA > 50-day MA
• Price holds above 30-week MA for 2+ weeks
• New highs outpace new lows

This is your confirmation window.
