Here is our first weekly newsletter for 2021.

The team here at Sublime Trading wishes you a progressive year ahead. May it be a year of choices that improves your investment portfolio.

From the feedback we received through 2020, many pinpointed the weekly newsletter as one of the key reasons they stepped up their game and joined either the Apprentice or the Phoenix academies.

If you are a regular reader of the newsletter and have yet to make the move across, there is no time like the present to make that decision that will have an instant impact on the wealth you must create before retirement.

A great place to start the year is by working out your personal ‘wealth compound number’ using our FREE wealth calculator. This is an eye-opening exercise that few do and will give you a clear POA of what needs to be achieved year on year.

As a quick recap, 2020 started with the rapid declines of 35% when the fear of the global pandemic first hit. This was short-lived with price finding support in March with the indices and stocks ending the year creating record all-time highs. Who saw that coming at the start of 2020?

Since June, we have been adding the best-performing stocks into the portfolio and sharing signals with our Phoenix members ending the year with the portfolio in healthy profit of around 20%.

This is set to continue through 2021. Our scanning process has already started picking up the strong performers this month which we are sharing with our members.

The FREE Facebook Community is a great place to get involved in conversations around how your portfolio is currently performing and the changes that need to be adopted to start seeing better returns.

Here is how the best performing UK & US stocks, as picked out by our scanning process, have performed this week.

FTSE 100

An excellent start to January and the new year with price moving over 6% to the upside taking price above the major level of resistance in the form of monthly the Piv9 level from 2018 which is currently acting as support. December’s price action attempted to break through it but closed below so it is good to see the bullish momentum in play since the low of November continue at the start of the new year.

On the weekly timeframe, price is above the 50sma and is closing in on the 200sma which is still resistance. The trend filter is green and trading back above the high of June of last year.

On the daily timeframe below, price is above the 20sma, the 50sma and the 200sma and the trend filter is green. The next key resistance above price is the 7000 round number which price should break through. We always look for analysis to favour the trend. We will continue to scan for and add the best-performing stocks to the portfolio.

UK STOCKS

Alliance Trust – ATST

A stock with a solid history of performance and is showing signs of a continuation of the bull run. Since the low of November, price has moved around 15% to the upside taking price out of consolidation and onto new ATHs. Price is now pushing its way towards the £10 round number which may act as a major resistance level. A break and close above this level will be significant for a trend continuation.

On the weekly timeframe, price is still above the 50sma and the 200sma and the trend filter is still green.

On the daily timeframe below, price is above the 20sma, the 50sma and the 200sma and the trend filter is also green confirming alignment with the weekly timeframe and between the MAs. Price is trading back above the high of February when the declines around CV19 hit the market. With this level now as support, we should see price push on to new highs and reward investors positioned correctly with the next leg up.

Games Workshop Group – GAW

A stock that has recently gone through a deep pullback but is now showing signs of recovery and a potential breakout. December saw price bounce off the £100 major round number as support with a move of around 23% to the upside and this has continued through this year with a move of around 5% so far this month.

On the weekly timeframe, price is still above the 50sma and the 200sma and the trend filter is still green.

On the daily timeframe below, price is above the 20sma, the 50sma and the 200sma and the trend filter is also green confirming alignment with the weekly timeframe and between the MAs. We can see the pullback in more detail from November that price is now recovering from. Price needs to break and close above the high of November to suggest a trend continuation and that is when positions will be considered once our trading plan has been met to avoid a fake breakout.

Polar Capital Technology Trust – PCT

A stock in the portfolio that has an excellent history of performance but one that we have had to apply some patience to in recent times but is now showing signs of rewarding our patience with price creating new ATHs. Price has moved around 12% from the low of December which we would like to see give price the momentum to move towards the £30 round number.

On the weekly timeframe, price is still above the 50sma and the 200sma and the trend filter is still green.

On the daily timeframe below, price is above the 20sma, the 50sma and the 200sma and the trend filter is also green confirming alignment with the weekly timeframe and between the MAs. Price is trading above and bounced off the high of September and we are seeing price end the week with another new ATH. We will now look to add further compounds as the trend unfolds.

S&P 500

A 12% move to the upside in November, an almost 4% move to the upside in December and so far a 1.2% move from the high of December pushing price further onto new ATHs and towards that $4000 round number, a complete turn around in price from the 35% record-breaking declines in February and March of last year from the impact of CV19. One of the major lessons you should have learned is to always focus on the charts and to let price dictate the next move. Despite all the fear-mongering through our mainstream media channels, the indices all closed the year printing record ATHs continuing this bull run price has been in since 2009.

On the weekly timeframe, price is still above the 50sma and the 200sma and the trend filter is still green.

On the daily timeframe below, price is above the 20sma, the 50sma and the 200sma and the trend filter is also green confirming alignment with the weekly timeframe and between the MAs. Thursday created yet another breakout printing a new ATH already at the start of 2021. We now need to see how the week ends. Friday is synonymous with profit-taking so do not be surprised if it is a bearish day.

US STOCKS

AGCO – AGCO

A stock that has moved almost 230% from the low of March taking price out of a period consolidation it has been in since 2007 with the high of the consolidation at $80. Price is now trading at just under $120 rewarding investors with excellent profit.

On the weekly timeframe, price is still above the 50sma and the 200sma and the trend filter is still green.

On the daily timeframe below, price is above the 20sma, the 50sma and the 200sma and the trend filter is also green confirming alignment with the weekly timeframe and between the MAs. The start of the year has seen price storm out of the block with a move of over 10% at the time of writing. The $100 round number acted well as support with a classic bullish flag formation being formed at the high of November. Price is now likely to make its way towards $150 which is the next major area of resistance above price.

Aptiv – APTV

A stock with a top history of performance and one which we have been sharing signals on since November with price creating new ATHs. Price has moved around 40% since breaking out of consolidation it had been in since June 2018 with $100 acting as resistance. This stock is now trading at just under $150.

On the weekly timeframe, price is still above the 50sma and the 200sma and the trend filter is still green.

This week, price has moved up around 13% at the time of writing. A break and close above $150 will be significant for further strength to the upside towards $200.

Broadridge Financial Solutions – BR

A top performer for us with an excellent history of trend moving in a very reliable fashion from $25 in 2013 to $140 in 2018, a move of over 440% to the upside. Price then went through a lengthy period of consolidation with price eventually breaking out in November and has since pushed onto new ATHs. An excellent history of trends plus breaking out from consolidation forms a major part of the foundation of the assets that make it into the portfolio.

On the weekly timeframe, price is still above the 50sma and the 200sma and the trend filter is still green.

On the daily timeframe below, price is above the 20sma, the 50sma and the 200sma and the trend filter is also green confirming alignment with the weekly timeframe and between the MAs. This was added to the portfolio this week with signals being shared with our Phoenix members and we will continue to do so as the trend develops. The next major level of resistance is $200.

YES, Let me watch now!

Deere & Co – DE

A stock that has moved from $200 to now $300 where it is finding resistance since we started sharing signals with our Phoenix members back in September with multiple signals and compounding opportunities shared. This stock has moved over 70% since breaking out from consolidation in August.

On the weekly timeframe, price is still above the 50sma and the 200sma and the trend filter is still green.

On the daily timeframe below, price is above the 20sma, the 50sma and the 200sma and the trend filter is also green confirming alignment with the weekly timeframe and between the MAs. This week has seen price move around 13% to the upside towards $300 where it is finding immediate resistance. A break and close above this round number and confirmed as support will be significant for further strength towards $400. This is a good example of letting a stock dictate how far it can go.

Keysight Technologies – KEYS

A steady performer since the low of 2016 soon after its IPO moving around 570% from the low of $20 to $140 today. This is a stock we have been sharing signals on and have in our portfolio since the trend was confirmed in December with multiple positions in play. December and January have seen a combined move of almost 18% so far.

On the weekly timeframe, price is still above the 50sma and the 200sma and the trend filter is still green.

The moves of this week are pushing price towards the $150 round number which will be the next major area of resistance. A break and close above this level will be a sign of further strength and when we will consider further compounding opportunities.

Nike – NKE

A slow performer since being entered into our portfolio back in October with price having only moved around 10% since but trends unfold in different ways. Currently price is finding resistance at $150 which if cleared is likely to see price push on to new ATHs and when we could potentially see a change in trend structure towards $200. We can only let price dictate and we can act accordingly.

On the weekly timeframe, price is still above the 50sma and the 200sma and the trend filter is still green.

On the daily timeframe below, price is above the 20sma, the 50sma and the 200sma and the trend filter is also green confirming alignment with the weekly timeframe and between the MAs. This week has seen price bounce off the daily 20sma as support. A break and close above the current ATH of December will see price through $150 and after which we will consider compounds for the portfolio.

Starbucks – SBUX

A stock we have been monitoring for some time and has now been added into the portfolio with signals being shared with our Phoenix members. This stock meets all our criteria, a good history of performance, good volume, a cheap stock with good upside potential, creating new ATHs and breaking out from consolidation. The first part of putting a good portfolio together is being able to identify high-probability assets. The second part is being able to extract profit SAFELY for the lifetime of the trend and this is where our trend following strategies and the signals come in which we share with our Phoenix members.

On the weekly timeframe, price is still above the 50sma and the 200sma and the trend filter is still green.

On the daily timeframe below, price is above the 20sma, the 50sma and the 200sma and the trend filter is also green confirming alignment with the weekly timeframe and between the MAs. Price has since settled into a mini consolidation since being triggered into our position but this is part and parcel of natural price movement. Never expect instant gratification which is where many go wrong. We will hold and compound as the trend unfolds. If this fails, this is where stop-losses and risk management come in. We will let price dictate and react accordingly.

So these are the top stocks that have come up on our radar this week as we are seeing such good momentum in the first trading week of the year. This is what we wanted to see but it does not guarantee how the year will pan out so we must always remember to manage our positions based on our trading plans.
