Amy’s 1-Hour Weekend Routine

1. As you’re going through IBD 50, jot down names of companies that
you’re not familiar with. Read articles and learn more about what the
company does at Investors.com. Articles can be accessed by entering the
ticker symbol in the “enter symbol, keyword” section and then clicking
on “search site.”
2. Watch the Daily Stock Analysis videos at Investors.com/IBDTV to learn
more about chart reading.
3. Update your watch list:
• Have a ready list, stocks that are nearing a potential buy point that you
have researched and are prepared to buy if they break out on volume
that is at least 40% above average.
