My posts often feature stocks from the Dow Jones 30 (as well as other Top 100 stocks, and small cap individual names as well). This post focuses on the Dow.
The charts below show daily, one year charts, but the same principles apply to shorter timeframes such as 60 minute charts. Trading high volume individual stocks is suitable for holding times from hours to months.
The charts below show how trading individual stocks (for multi-day swings, to multi-month positions) can easily outperform the S&P 500 (SPY), The Dow Jones (DIA), and the Nasdaq / Tech (QQQ).
For example, for longs, MCD McDonalds is up 30% this year, vs. 4.7% for the Dow (with SPY at 1% loss and QQQ up 1.68%).
Visa up 42%!
For example, for shorts, AA is DOWN 44% this year. Tremendous profits for those short AA.
In the Charts below, the Dow Jones is the blue line, for comparison. 1 year, daily charts.
