Stay Alert During Correction
hen the market is in a correction, it's critical to keep a close eye on the market and continually update your watch list. Here are 2 stocks to get you started.
Lululemon Athletica (LULU) has been consolidating gains since hitting a two-year high in mid April. It's working on the eighth week of a new base. The Canadian retailer sells apparel for yoga, running and dancing. It has more than 100 stores across Australia, Canada, Hong Kong and the U.S. In late March, Lululemon trounced views with a 100% pop in fiscal Q4 earnings. Sales jumped 55% - the third straight month of acceleration. Its after-tax margin also climbed for the past three periods. Analysts see Lululemon's fiscal Q1 profit surging 133%.
Decker Outdoors (DECK) has been consolidating for seven weeks and may be shaping a handle to a double-bottom pattern.
The Goleta, Calif.-based maker of Ugg boots and Teva sandals has solid fundamentals, with EPS and sales growth both accelerating in the most recent quarter.
Deckers draws most of its revenue from selling Ugg footwear through retailers like Nordstrom, but it’s opening more of its own Ugg stores.
It plans to open nine Ugg retail locations this year, lifting its store total by nearly 50%. Deckers has said Ugg stores allow it to "capture the full retail margin on each direct to consumer transaction," as well as highlight the "lifestyle nature of the brand."
TJX Cos. (TJX) has been holding up well in the recent market weakness. The stock appears to be forming a base as it finds support at its 10-week moving average.
While most retailers reported lackluster May sales last week, the discount apparel chain posted better-than-expected same-store sales growth of 4%. Recession-hit consumers have flocked to discounters with unemployment remaining high and the economy uncertain.
TJX, which owns the T.J. Maxx and Marshalls stores, benefits from its substantial buying power. It’s the largest U.S. off-price apparel and home goods retailer, with more than 2,700 stores in North America and Europe.
In its latest quarter, the company's earnings rose 60%, beating analysts’ expectations. Sales rose 15% to $5 billion.

Build Your Watch List In Good Times – And Bad
Regardless of current market conditions, you always want to look for leading stocks forming sound bases. This is especially true when the market is in a correction or just beginning a new uptrend: the biggest winners tend to take off very soon after a follow-through day, and you don’t want to miss them.
You can find these kinds of stocks in many IBD features. Below are a few to get you started.
Note: While stocks listed in these features aren’t necessarily near a buy point, they do have many of the traits you want to see before you buy. As always, be sure to do additional research, including checking general market conditions and individual stock charts, before buying any stock.
There will be times when no stocks are highlighted in some of the lists below. This typically happens in a weak market, and it’s a reminder to avoid buys when the overall market is down and leading stocks aren’t showing strength.
Leading Stocks Forming Sound Bases
Three times a week, IBD highlights stocks with solid fundamentals that are currently forming a sound base or chart pattern. You’ll find these in the following stock lists:
-IBD 100 (Mondays)
-Big Cap 20 (Tuesdays)
-Your Weekly Review(Fridays)

Just below the sector name, you’ll find highlights of the top-performing stocks in the top-ranked sectors. Any highlighted names have to pass a tough fundamental and technical screen, so it’s a great source that filters ideas for your watch list.
Stocks Just Out Of Bases
Found each day on the first page of the NYSE + Nasdaq Research Tables, Stocks Just Out Of Bases gives you a list of leaders who have recently broken out of a sound chart formation. Generally, the stocks are still within 5% — 7% of their optimum buy points.
In addition to getting ideas for your watch list, you can use this feature to improve your chart-reading skills: Look at the charts for the stocks listed and see if you can identify the pattern and the buy point. Be sure to view the pattern in both a daily and weekly chart.

2 Things Everyone Should Know About Follow-Through Days
IBD's Kate Stalter discusses recent market swings, how you can handle them, and why the latest correction gives investors a second chance.
IBD: On Wednesday, June 2 we had a follow-through day, which changed the “Current Outlook” in The Big Picture from “Market in correction” to “Market in confirmed uptrend.” But then we quickly saw heavy selling, and the outlook went back to “Market in correction” on Tuesday, June 8. How should investors handle that kind of volatility?
Kate Stalter: Well, there’s no question these kinds of market swings can be frustrating. It’s easy to let emotions take over, but the market is telling you something significant at each juncture.
That’s why we constantly emphasize the need to follow buy and sell rules! When the market is this volatile, that’s when having good rules really pays off. They protect you from being too eager — and too fearful.
The follow-through day concept is a case in point.
There are two things everyone should know about follow-through days…
First, not all follow-throughs work.
About 30% fail to create a sustained uptrend, and the market slips back fairly quickly into a correction. That’s what happened this week.
So based on that historical fact, use some caution. Get back into stocks gradually, making sure the market continues to go up. Also, you want to see leading stocks show strength before you commit more of your money. Investors who followed that rule over the last week most likely avoided any significant damage.
Second, no new uptrend has ever started without a follow-through day.
Even though some follow-throughs won't work, it's really important to remember: Every bull market since the 1880s has begun with a follow-through. Every single one. That's how crucial it is.
So when people ask how they should handle markets like the one we’re going through now, the answer is: Follow the rules! Wait for a follow-through before buying stocks again. And once you have a follow-through, get back in gradually, not all at once.
Ignore The News. Watch The Market.
IBD: We should also point out that follow-through days tend to occur when the news is awful. So it’s easy to miss the start of a new uptrend, or not believe it’s really happening, if you only let the news and your own emotions guide you.
KS: That’s right. And March 2009 was a great example of that. A lot of people missed out on great gains last year because they were focused on terrible economic news and the financial crisis instead of looking at what the market itself was actually doing.
When we had that the follow-through day in March 2009, no one knew if it would lead to a strong uptrend or just fizzle out.
For weeks and months, even experienced investors kept debating whether the rally was for real or not. Meanwhile, the market kept going up, and stocks like Green Mountain Coffee Roasters became huge winners! So investors who understood the indexes had followed through on the rally attempt were making money — while a lot of other people were sitting on their hands, and didn't take advantage of the opportunities right in front of them.

2 Things Everyone Should Know About Follow-Through Days
Posted 12:26 PM ET
IBD's Kate Stalter discusses recent market swings, how you can handle them, and why the latest correction gives investors a second chance.
IBD: On Wednesday, June 2 we had a follow-through day, which changed the “Current Outlook” in The Big Picture from “Market in correction” to “Market in confirmed uptrend.” But then we quickly saw heavy selling, and the outlook went back to “Market in correction” on Tuesday, June 8. How should investors handle that kind of volatility?
Kate Stalter: Well, there’s no question these kinds of market swings can be frustrating. It’s easy to let emotions take over, but the market is telling you something significant at each juncture.
That’s why we constantly emphasize the need to follow buy and sell rules! When the market is this volatile, that’s when having good rules really pays off. They protect you from being too eager — and too fearful.
The follow-through day concept is a case in point. (Here's a video on follow-through days if you want to learn more.)

Not “IBD’s Rules.” Just How The Market Works.
There’s another thing we should note: There’s no IBD “secret sauce” or mystery to spotting a follow-through day and a new uptrend. It’s just history. We say often that it’s just how the market works, as we’ve learned by studying every market cycle since the 1880s. It’s really as straightforward as that: You can try to second-guess and outthink the market, or you can follow time-tested rules based on always-repeated market history.
I can say from personal experience that you will sleep better at night and do much better over the long term if you keep your emotions at bay and just stick to the rules!
Failed Follow-Through Gives Investors Second Chance
IBD: What’s the silver-lining we can take away from the market’s drop into a new correction?
KS: It gives investors a second chance to prepare for the next uptrend. If you didn’t build a watch list or if you didn’t pay attention to the market during the last correction, now’s your chance to do it right this time!
Read The Big Picture every day. Start tracking leading stocks that are setting up in bases. The big money is made in the early stages of a new uptrend, and the preparation you do right now will pay off big time when the market inevitably rebounds and starts a new run.
