Bonde method entry points
Here’s a Bonde-style watchlist built from the philosophy of
finding stocks with strong momentum, then waiting for consolidation or a clean
breakout setup.
Watchlist
|
Ticker |
Why it fits |
Practical setup to watch |
|
APP |
Strong momentum and large upside expectations from analyst
coverage . |
Watch for a tight consolidation above recent highs and a
breakout on volume. |
|
DASH |
Analyst-favored growth name with meaningful upside . |
Look for a pullback that holds prior breakout support. |
|
CRM |
Large-cap momentum/growth candidate with upside listed by
analysts . |
Best if it builds a base after a strong run. |
|
ANET |
Featured among strong earnings-growth names . |
Watch for a continuation breakout after a shallow
pullback. |
|
DDOG |
Included in the high-upside analyst list . |
Prefer a tight range and rising relative strength before
entry. |
|
INTU |
Appears in both upside and earnings-acceleration
lists . |
Look for a breakout from consolidation, not a chase after
extended moves. |
|
GOOGL |
Analyst-favored growth name with strong earnings
profile . |
Wait for a low-risk base breakout. |
|

list . |

Watch for continuation after a first consolidation. |
Why these names
Bonde’s approach emphasizes stocks that already showed
short-term momentum and are then pausing in consolidation, because that is
where breakouts tend to form. The momentum-ranking material also stresses
focusing on the strongest stocks in the market and prioritizing a smaller,
higher-quality watchlist rather than a long one. That means the goal is not
“cheap stocks,” but stocks with strength, sponsorship, and a clean technical
setup.
Breakout rules
A good Bonde-style setup usually has three things: prior
upside momentum, a pause or tight range, and then a breakout with volume. For
entries, the cleanest version is buying as price clears the consolidation high,
or on a controlled pullback that holds support before turning back up. If the
stock is already far extended, it is usually better to wait than to chase.

Commodities Entry points

While these returns may appear modest in today’s speculative environment, such movement in a macro asset of this magnitude could unleash other important trends that are long-overdue.
Currently priced for failure, the mining industry stands out as one of the best distressed opportunities, in my view. Additionally, it's worth noting that historically, every gold cycle has synchronized with a cycle for other commodities, often boosting the valuations of resource-rich economies like emerging markets.
- Historically, low volatility in gold options has been followed by substantial price increases, given gold's role as a major macro asset.
- The undervalued mining industry may see growth if gold prices rise, offering potentially high returns for investors.
- Gold cycles have historically impacted broader commodity cycles, driving up the value of resource-rich economies.
- Increasing exposure to gold and related industries could provide portfolio diversification and help manage risk during uncertain economic periods.
In summary, this situation may present promising investment opportunities in the mining industry and related markets. It's important to conduct thorough research and assess individual risk tolerance before making any investment decisions.

Reaching Euphoria - all time highs...
The markets have rallied substantially since the March'20 bottom. SPACs, IPOs craze is visible in all forums, especially fueled by the new generation of Robinhood traders. Tiktok videos are being made on stock trading. Youtube channels are pumping names and creating significant moves. These are unprecedented times where stimulus money is flowing in - the traders are buying/selling without commissions, and their relatively young age guarantees that they've not had major learnings of how the market forces truly work. The new normal due to fed put and unlimited QE and stimulus has run it's course and may inflate the tulip bubble even further - no one can time a top. Nevertheless, the charts and the sentiments are definitely flagging caution.
