Trade Like a Stock Market Wizard: How to Achieve Super Performance in Stocks in Any Market: How to Achieve Superperformance in Stocks in Any Market

by Mark Minervini

A proper stage 2 uptrend provides evidence that institutions are indeed stepping up to the plate, just as a stage 4 decline clearly demonstrates the opposite. Having the long-term trend on your side is like sailing with the wind at your back. If there’s no wind, you’re dead in the water (stage 1), and if the wind is against you, you have little chance of moving forward (stage 4). The proverbial wind in your sails is the long-term trend of big money that’s buying in sync with you. You should look to align yourself with this powerful force. Stick with stocks that are in a solid uptrend and you will be much more likely to own a stock that has the potential to skyrocket and become a superperformer.
