*Top Stocks have EPS growth rates of at least 40% prior to major advances. This is an easy way to help identify strong potential breakout stocks. Make note, however, that with breakout stocks it is critical to buy at the pivot point that springboards to upside, and to set tight 7-8% stop losses on your buy. This makes it harder and harder to effectively buy a break out stock that won't lose 7 to 8% on any now typical 2% Dow move day.
With the market itself spring loaded, however, for upside profits could now exceed and leap 10% a quarter; that is, if we follow history of recessions.
This is important.
