Recent breakouts

Our latest scan for breakouts turned up only one candidate on the ASX:

Premier Investments (PMV)

Premier Investments is an Australian company that operates six specialty retail fashion chains in the specialty retail fashion markets in Australia & New Zealand and also operates the unique Smiggle brand, retailing children’s stationery in Australia and overseas markets.

Not your normal candidate for a growth stock but PMV has been appreciating steadily, with shallow troughs and regular breakouts since March last year. Trend Index is declining; so we would want to see an upswing, respecting the zero line.

Russell 3000

The Russell 3000 yielded a few more promising candidates:

Inspire Medical systems (INSP)

Penske Group (PAG)

SVB Financial Group (SIVB)

Texas Instruments (TXN)

Walker Dunlop (WD)

Look for a strong Trend Index, holding above zero, and shallow corrections.
