Mike Scott Webinar Today
I will be conducting a free online webinar today at 1:30 PM California time. It is part of a new IBD effort called a National Investors Business Daily Meetup. Many people live in remote areas and don't have a meetup to join so this will run something like monthly to serve a wider audience. Different Meetup leaders will conduct the webinars in the future. In case anyone is wondering, I receive no compensation for these efforts nor do I advertise any services. Today I will review the general market, then talk about how I manage a portfolio with an example of how I handled TSLA last year for 130% gains.
To Join the Webinar:
Please join us this Friday for a special webinar and forward this invite to all your Meetup members.

Hi, Mike
Thanks a lot for the webinar. It's great to see how you manage and trade the stocks. I am wondering if it's possible to get a copy of your slide so that I can learn more and study it.
Thanks,
Wei

Archive?
Hi, Mike.
I was gone yesterday and didn't even know about your presentation until just now. Is it archived anywhere for people to view at a later date?
tnx

This link will be good for a few weeks.

Mike,
In your slide 21, you state the bar count rules.
Where do you start that bar count?
Can you provide a few typical rules of where to start?
For example," since the high before the previous pull-back started" or "max past 20 days."
The bar count summation will be different depending on the starting point.
Also, are recent patterns more important than past patterns? For example, if you count 20 days, are the last 5 days more important than the previous 15 days?

Pascal, The bar count starts at the beginning of a base formation. The beginning of a base is the first down week after a closing high and counts up to but not including the breakout week which is possibly the breakout above a handle formation or a move to a new high in case of no handle. Minimum length of a base is usually 7 weeks however flat bases can be 5. Cup formations can be as much as 65 weeks.
The whole process is to help gauge whether institutions are accumulating or distributing. How the price closes at the end of the week helps tell what they are doing. As such more recent bars on the right side of the base are more important than the left. The method I described makes no such discrimination however it is a subtly that I might bring into a close call.

Hi Mike, I also enjoyed your presentation and I thank you for it. One clarification I'd like to get is on counting the tall bars. Does it mean any bar over average volume (ie, 1% or more above avg.) or do you want to see some height over the average volume say 10% or more?
Best,
Pablo

Pablo, the tall bars mean the bars that touch or are above the 10-week moving average volume line.
