Remember that overnight action in Dow Jones futures and elsewhere doesn’t necessarily translate into actual trading in the next regular stock market session.

    What To Do In The Stock Market Rally

    Now is an important time to read IBD’s The Big Picture column with the stock market trend in a “confirmed uptrend.”

    A confirmed uptrend gives IBD readers the green light to purchase top stocks breaking out past new buy points. Despite the acknowledgment of better action in recent sessions, IBD’s recommended exposure in stocks remains at 20% to 40% of your portfolio due to the ongoing news-driven volatility.

    Two useful IBD MarketSmith lists to check right now are “Breaking Out Today” and “Near Pivot.” The latter shows stocks nearing buy points in bases, and the other flags stocks rising past buy points during the session.

    To find more stock ideas, check IBD Stock Lists, like IBD 50, Big Cap 20 and Stocks Near A Buy Zone. These features identify bullish patterns and buy points and should be checked every day.
