Etsy Stock Joins Rank Of Stocks With 95-Plus Composite Rating

The IBD SmartSelect Composite Rating for Etsy rose from 90 to 96 Tuesday. Additionally, the RS rating is currently 89, although the stock has struggled recently.

The new rating shows the stock is outpacing 96% of all stocks when it comes to the most important stock-picking criteria. The top-performing stocks tend to have a 95 or better grade as they begin to launch a significant move so be sure to keep that in mind when looking for the best stocks to buy and watch.

Etsy broke out earlier, but has fallen back below the prior 137.01 entry from a cup with handle. If a stock you're watching breaks past a buy point then retreats 7% or more below the original entry price, it's considered a failed base. It's best to wait for the stock to form a new pattern and breakout.
