We are in the last week of April, and technology stocks have generally fared well.
In fact, stocks in the other sectors have also fared well, especially our stock picks in April: Fresenius Medical Care and Linde.
May has traditionally been a tricky month for stocks, but I think that you can benefit from these 2 stock pick analysis, Fortive and International Business Machines.
Let me share why!
Fortive (NYSE: FTV)
Source: fortive.com
1. About the Company
Founded in 2015, Fortive designs, manufactures, and services products and software, globally.
It operates in the scientific & technical instruments space, providing valuable high tech solutions to many sectors, including the healthcare, and industrial sectors.
With more than 16 companies under Fortive, Fortive looks like a force to be reckoned with.
Does its price chart support this stance?
Are the shares of Fortive ready for a long position trade?
Let’s find out in the next section.
2. Position Trading (Daily)
Looking at the chart of FTV, what can you tell?
There isn’t any technical drawings.
No support and resistance lines, trendlines, Fibonacci levels.
Instead, you see 2 main indicators which are sufficient in helping you come to a conclusion – the arrow and Trend Impulse Factor indicators.
Do you notice a green arrow under the latest candle of FTV?
The presence of a green arrow tells you that a new bullish move has occurred.
To increase your chances of success, you’ll want to look at the color of the bar of the Trend Impulse Factor indicator too.
When it’s dark green in color, it tells you that the momentum is likely to continue, enabling you to profit more!
Thus, FTV is not ready for a long position trade yet.
I think that there’s a good chance the opportunity will arise in the next week or so.
International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM)

1. About the Company
International Business Machines, better known as IBM, was founded way back in 1911.
It provides integrated solutions and services, in the software, consulting, infrastructure, and financing space.
As a well-known company, how have its shares been performing?
Let’s have a look at its price chart to find out!
2. Position Trading (Daily)
Here, you don’t see any technical drawings because they aren’t necessary.
As with FTV, you’ll want to see the appearance of an arrow at its latest candle.
You’ll also want to see a dark green bar of its Trend Impulse Factor indicator.
Shall we first spot if there’s an arrow?
I see a red arrow above the latest candle of IBM.
This tells you and me that this is a new bearish move for IBM.
However, is this bearish move likely to continue for some time?
No.
This can be inferred from the color of its Trend Impulse Factor indicator which is in light green.
Therefore, it’d be best not to rush to short the shares of IBM just yet.
Conclusion

FTV and IBM belong to the technology sector, but both have contrasting price trends.
The share price of FTV is trending higher while the share price of IBM is trending lower.
One glance at the 2 main indicators suggest that both are not ripe for a position trade just yet.
However, I think that this could change soon. Hence, you should watch both FTV and IBM in the month of May
Given the more volatile environment we are in, it’s a great idea to place a stop loss level to protect your trading capital. There’s no need to hold onto a losing stock on the way down as there are many more strong and uptrending stocks.
Trading stocks without a proper system can be highly risky. This is why TGPS was created. The indicators will help you determine if a stock is ready for action to be taken. You won’t have to feel in the dark and make wild guesses.

1 Simple Strategy To Reap Explosive Profits This Year (2023):
2022 by far has been one of the toughest years to trade in the past 5 years.
Lots of Singaporeans who dabble in trading or investments have suffered badly this year.
From inflation, interest rates, Ukraine war, financial tensions between US & China, and most recently, the dramatic crypto meltdown…
We’ve seen nothing short of constant volatility and a persistently declining stock market this year.
Many people I know have incurred 5 to even 6 figures losses and others are holding on to 20-80% unrealized losses.
It’s unfortunate to see that the goals of becoming financially independent to provide better lives for their family have turned into losses for many.
Yet, as a matter of fact, all these losses could have been easily prevented and turned into profits instead if these people had the right knowledge.
Having the right knowledge, and having a tested and proven methodology for trading strong stocks
– This is exactly what helped me and over 5000+ of my students to end the year with decent gains in our portfolio despite the odds stacked against our favor.
Within our SMT community, we use a really simple yet powerful 3-step system that allows us to identify and capitalize on strong stocks.
This is why even amidst the poor performing market this year, we are still able to extract extensive profits from the market – by identifying ‘hidden gem’ opportunities.
And if we are able to reap decent gains in such a bad market this year, think about how immense the profit potential would be like in 2023…
Especially when the market is poised to trend stronger upwards in 2023 and the number of opportunities would be greater than ever.
