                                           Tiger Buy B17 - Sudden Rise in "IP21",
                                               TigerSoft's Accumulation Index        
               

                    I spoke today with a former stock broker who has been a regular Tiger customer
                    and Hotline subscriber for more than thirty years.   As the manager of a large
                    office of stock brokers, his words were most important.  His view is that if
                    someone really wants to make a lot of money in the stock market, he or
                    she should concentrate on individual stocks.   Peerless is great he says,
                    but we should also be looking for bulges of Insider Accumulation and watching
                    what Professionals are doing using the TigerSoft's charts.

                    I was pleased he said this, because I wanted to ask him about the value of
                    the new research I am doing for this Hotline on the Tiger Buy and Sell
                    (not Peerless) signals for individual stocks.   He was glad to see it.  It
                    would help others.

                    In this connection, I posted research this weekend of Tiger Buy B19s -
                    relentless    upward momentum signal.  I showed that certain accompanying
                    key values gave these B19s success rates of 80% or higher.

                    Tonight, I want to post the preliminary results for Tiger Buy B17s -
                    sudden increases in Accumulation (IP21).   You can see the sampling
                    methodology I used.  The success rate here also is close to 80%,
                    especially, when the Buy B17 occurs while the stock appears to
                    be innocently sitting in a base.  To show this, I want to make a list tonight
                    of the B17s in the past 11 months with biotechs.  I will just go through
                    the biotechs we have on our data page and show the first 25 B17s.
                    Sampling this many cases gives us a reliable result.  You can readily produce
                    the B17s exactly like I show here using the commands:

                    PEERCOMM + Charts-2014 + Daily Stocks + All Stks + Signals1 +
                    Display User Selected  TigerSoft Signal + enter B17 + OK + 2 (right side
                    of keyboard to go to next stock.  Num-lock must be OFF.)


                    18 of the 25 (72%) gained at least 10 before a loss of much more than 10%
                    occurred.    Looking at these charts will show you that most of the losses
                    could have easily been avoided by not buying just below the resistance of
                    a 65-dma or where the stock's IP21 was still quite negative despite being
                    far above the 21-dma.  I will work on these B17s studies some more
                    and you can view more complete studies in links I will provide in a few days.
