TOP STOCKS 2020 A Letter from Scott O’Neil
Adversity Leads to Opportunity

Here are three understatements about 2020: It was difficult. It was uncertain. It was scary.

But it’s not an understatement to say this: It was also a year that showed us our best selves— ingenious,
unwavering and unwilling to give up.

The only thing more powerful than the global pandemic was the strength of our resolve in the face of
adversity. So too did the stock market fight back as unprecedented events threatened the way we live,
work and play. We emerged from the coronavirus market correction with a new outlook. We adapted to
a new way of living while battling an invisible enemy.

The market in 2020 had tremendous moves to both the upside and the downside. There were very few
precedents for these market moves, meaning predictions and punditry were more useless than ever.
That’s why chart reading is so important. In an echo chamber of dire news, it’s human nature to feel fear
and act accordingly in your trading. But the chart will always tell the story.

Even if the events of the year were unprecedented, the market always has patterns. Perhaps that’s why
2020 turned out to be a good test case for the CAN SLIM Investing System and its reliance on data-
driven rules. These rules pushed you out of the market early and protected you from the March selloff.

Similarly, the all-important follow-through day brought us back into the market in early April, at the
beginning of a market rally that would lead to record highs. Most commentators thought a V-shaped
recovery was unlikely, but once again, the market proved that it does not care about opinions. In the
end, we experienced one of the greatest trending markets of the last 20 years and growth stocks
performed even better than expected.

I can’t stress enough how important the follow-through day concept is, and how important it
was in 2020 in particular. My father taught me that when you get a follow-through day, you buy
something—period. It’s an important mental shift to get back in the market, even if you’re skittish. It
will pull you back into the market ahead of a majority of investors out there when it works, and some
of the biggest profits are made in the beginning of a new uptrend.

this book fit within the stay-at-home theme. President, MarketSmith, Incorporated

So, as investors, what is our big takeaway from 2020? For me, it boils
down to this: Keep an open mind at all times and don’t get caught flat-
footed when conditions change. How many people thought in March that
we’d be at all-time highs by the year’s end? Even in a dire correction, you
should be doing your weekend routine, keeping your watchlist fresh and—
most importantly—be willing to change your mind.

Remember: You won’t be right on every stock, and you don’t have to be.
The key is keeping your losses small and letting your biggest winners run.
That’s where post-analysis comes in. Print out charts of all your trades in
2020 and mark the points where you bought and sold. Now compare your
biggest winners and biggest losers. What did they have in common, and
where do they differ? It helps to recognize any unconscious patterns you
have in your trading style.

TOP STOCKS 2020 Post-Analysis: Improving with
Adversity Leads to Opportunity Every Trade
Think about your biggest winning trade of 2020. Ask yourself, “Why did this stock perform as well as
it did? And could I have added to my position for bigger gains?”

Now focus on your worst trade of the year. Ask a similar question: “Where did this trade go against
me? Did I buy a weak stock, or just mishandle a good stock?”

That’s the essence of post-analysis: examining all your trades with the benefit of hindsight and using
that knowledge to refine your process. Every investor is going to experience winning and losing
trades; the key is learning from each one and improving your skills as you go. After all, if you’re not
learning from your experiences, you’re bound to repeat your mistakes.

The infographic on the next page features a few key steps you can apply to all of your stock trades
to help you improve with each trade. There are also two example trades from 2020 that illustrate
how to conduct post-analysis to maximize profits and avoid common pitfalls.

Post-Analysis the O’Neil Way


Not everyone can do post-analysis like William O'Neil, but as long as you put in the effort, you’ll
get better with every trade.

Legendary investor (and founder of Investor’s Business Daily) William O'Neil is known for his
extensive post-analysis of his trades. His annotated charts are famous around IBD for their
comprehensiveness, if not their legibility.

O’Neil wrote a lot of notes to himself about potential ways of handling a big leader and cues that he
wanted to remember in case he ran across similar action in the future. He used many of his post-
analysis notes and insights as the basis for what would become the CAN SLIM Investing System.

Know a Stock’s Personality – Twilio Inc CI A (TWLO)
Stocks have their own “personalities,” or a way that they behave in terms of price and volume action. Some are slow-moving
stair-steppers, some are volatile rollercoasters, and some (like TWLO here) are not great breakout stocks. It pays to analyze a
stock’s history to get a sense of how it tends to move.

TOP STOCKS 2020 Featured Stocks
Adversity Leads to Opportunity

The story of the stock market in 2020 comes down to one overriding event: a swift and powerful
correction caused by the global pandemic, followed by a V-shaped recovery that led the indexes to
record highs. No one could plausibly say they knew how the stock market would react to Covid-19,
which is why keeping an open mind and adhering to your trading rules was more important than
ever. When the crash in February and March pushed many investors to the sidelines, the early
April follow-through days pulled CAN SLIM investors back in during the early stages of the strong
recovery.

You may notice a lot of similar themes in these featured stocks. That’s because the pandemic’s
disruption of everyday life forced people to change the way they live, work and play. “Stay at home”
stocks figured prominently in the biggest winners of 2020, along with technologies that enable and
undergird a remotely connected world like cybersecurity and cloud computing. Conversely, you
won’t see nearly as many stocks in this book from some of the groups hit hard by the pandemic,
including energy, travel and utilities.

This section highlights 60 of the 824 stocks that passed the screening criteria listed below. It
begins with seven charts marked up by MarketSmith Product Coaches to indicate the kind of
technical and fundamental review crucial to post-analysis. Weekly charts for the featured stocks
appear next, each with an accompanying article that delves into the company itself. The featured
stocks are organized by sector and sorted by performance within each sector in descending order.

Screening Criteria for Non-IPOs: Screening Criteria for IPOs:


Peak Price ≥ $20 IPO'd in Q4 2019 through 2020
2020 High Price > 2019 High Price IPO First Day of trading to 2020 High Price ≥ 40%
Stock Price increase by at least 40% in 2020 2020 High Price ≥ $15
