MercadoLibre saw its IBD SmartSelect Composite Rating jump to 98 Tuesday, up from 94 the day before.
The upgrade means the stock is now outpacing 98% of all other stocks in terms of key performance metrics and technical strength. Winning stocks often have a 95 or higher score in the early stages of a new price run, so that's a good item to have on your checklist when looking for the best stocks to buy and watch.
MercadoLibre broke out earlier, but has fallen back below the prior 1,365.64 entry from a cup without handle. If a stock you're tracking climbs above a buy point then retreats 7% or more below the original entry price, it's considered a failed base. So far, that has not happened but keep a close eye on this one as the market continues to struggle.
