  1. All these momo names are getting murdered while the market is very stable

    it would seem like a good strategy would be to go long a single ES contract ~$100,000 and shorting around ~50k of IBD stocks

    this can work because a lot of times stocks that make the most powerful gains do so in a very brief period and once it passes they do no better than the market, but they also crash the fastest, too. Also IBD 50 stocks are priced for perfection and any small hiccup can send them crashing
