This week was all about finding themes that were starting to work, jumping on them as early as possible, setting up a trailing or other kind of stop, and then sitting back and denying oneself the opportunity to meddle with them.

Case in point: quantum. The Federal Government’s announcement of $2bn equity investments in the sector put a light under $IBM, pushing it up and over the 21-day EMA. Personally I had been waiting for it to be over that level to buy it, so I took the opportunity and jumped in. So far the stock has continued to perform well. The 200-day SMA is at $270, which I expect to act as resistance for a while if the market does climb in value.

We talked about momentum investing methods - how to get in, how to say in - during Monday’s live, interactive real-time webinar for our Inner Circle members. The replay is available below, together with a summary of all the Cestrian staff personal account trades disclosed this week.
