Top five Chinese stocks to watch now
Tesla delivery discount
Tesla has begun offering $7,500 for U.S. delivery of the Model 3 or Model Y before the end of the year, Electrek reported late Wednesday. That’s up from $3,750 at the start of December, with 10,000 free Supercharger miles included, too. Tesla is trying to increase delivery numbers in the last quarter of the year.
Many potential buyers may delay delivery until January 1, when new US tax credits of up to $7,500 begin. Tesla sales in the US may also face a negative impact from Elon Musk’s Twitter actions and politically charged tweets.
Tesla stock tried to rally on Wednesday but was unable to end its losing streak on a strong market day. TSLA stock fell 0.2% on Wednesday to 137.57, marking another bearish low. Shares are down 8.4% so far this week and 29% in December.
Stocks to watch
First Solar rose 3.5% to 162.06 after falling to 150.25 on the day, finding support above the 50-day line. FSLR stock is now up 5.7% above the 10-week line and is at a short-term high. Solar Commander may be working on a new base, but it needs a few more weeks.
MEDP rose 3.4% to 210.59, bouncing from the 50-day line and regaining the 21-day line. Investors can buy Medpace shares now, or wait for the trend line to break starting November 15th. MEDP stock has a buy point of 235.82 from a deep consolidation of 16% alongside a deep cup base of 45%.
PI rose 2.3% to 117.15, continuing to rebound from the 10-week line but only 4% above that level. This RFID chip run is doable from this pullback after the earnings hack in late October.
AEHR rose 1.3% to 22.80, bouncing off the 50-day line. A move above the 21-day line would provide an entry into volatile stocks. Electric Vehicle Prone Chip Testing Company is achieving buoyant revenue growth.
SLB stock rose 3% to 53.31, extending Tuesday’s rebound from the 50-day and 21-day lines. Now clearly breaking a trend line in a short consolidation, Schlumberger stock is still very actionable here.
Market rally analysis
Well, the stock market has now rebounded. After making gains on Tuesday, the major indices had a strong session on Wednesday.
The Dow Jones index, supported by Nike, continued its recovery from the 50-day line.
The S&P 500 and S&P MidCap 400 just recovered the 50-day moving average, but only by a hair. The S&P 500 needs to move decisively above the 50-day line, and that would only be the first step for the market to go higher.
The NASDAQ and Russell 2000 remain below the 50-day averages.
More blue chips found support or rebounded from key levels, including First Solar and Aehr Test Systems. Some are issuing flash buy signals, but in a fragile market.
It’s time to market with IBD’s ETF Market Strategy
What are you doing now
After last week’s ugly downtrend reversal and Monday’s losses, the past two days have been positive, but don’t get excited.
Market exposure should remain light. The upside remains under pressure with the S&P 500 at a key level, with many other hurdles ahead.
Even if the market rally regains a lot of the previous week’s losses, there is still a risk that this will be another trap to lure investors in before the immediate decline.
So, while some stocks are flashing buy signals, investors should be wary of taking any new trades. Yes, if the main indicators continue to recover, the new purchases of the past two days are likely to work. But if the S&P 500 drops to its lowest levels on Tuesday or worse, those new buys will likely fail.
If you try to play in the current market, keep the positions small and take at least partial profits quickly. Broad market ETFs can be a way to get involved in a small rally without the risk of individual stocks.
But, a lot of equity is being created. So investors must be prepared to act, update watchlists and stay in touch.
