by TOM GENTILE

Volume

by Andrew Snyder

Here are my three rules for tracking volume:

1. Always ask who is buying and why - retail investors, pension funds, insiders, etc. There's almost always an obvious reason for a volume spike - earnings reports, product release, etc.

If the reason isn't clear, don't walk away. It's often a good sign of positive news to come.

2. Insider volume counts the most. This is vital and won't show up on a simple volume screen. Instead, you need to track SEC Form 4 submissions. If insiders are loading up, don't wait. Buy now. It's the equivalent of the manager of the car lot jumping in the driver's seat.

3. If the price spikes as volume soars, wait for it to drop. As the initial rush wanes, the price will drop.

Often, waiting until the price retraces at least 25% of its spike is a smart move. In other words, if a volume spike sends a stock from $10 to $15, wait until it's at $13.75 or lower to make your move.

The Single Best Way to Play Gaps For Major Gains

by TOM GENTILE

The best way you can play it: simply wait until after the gap and let the stock tell you which way it may go.

To do this, identify the high and low of the gap day.

If the stock closes above the high of the gap day, go bullish and vice versa.

A simple trailing stop loss is the simplest way (15-20% on stock / 30-50% with options).

200 DMA

You need to consider two main things when looking at the 200-DMA...

1. During bull markets, stocks tend to spend most of their time above the 200-DMA.
2. During bear markets, they spend most of their time below it.

The direction of the 200-DMA itself is the trend.

When it's moving higher or lower, stocks often continue to move in the same direction.
