Stock Market Rally

Looking back at the current uptrend, November was a key month for the stock market. IBD's The Big Picture flagged the new uptrend following the market's bullish follow-through day on Nov. 4. Meanwhile, the middle of February has the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq and S&P 500 pulling back from record highs.

Monday's Big Picture cautioned, "Just four trading sessions ago, the market cap-weighted Nasdaq touched new all-time highs and closed above 14,000 for a third straight session. But a fourth decline in the past five sessions has now trimmed the index's year-to-date advance to 5%."

Focus on stocks that show strong relative strength during the current weakness. They could be some of the market's leaders if the indexes are able to get back to their record-setting ways.
