The DoD (Darlings of the Day) are stocks that have been rising steadily for at least six months. Most of them have been rising for longer than that and they're also ones that exhibit less volatility than their peers.
What this type of chart action indicates is that investors really like the fundamentals of the stock and think the company has room to grow. However, there is one caveat that should be noted: since many of them have already rallied quite a bit, they can be prone to periods of consolidation where the price tumbles to a lower level before regaining its footing.
Stocks on the DoD list are those that could be of interest to a long-term (6 months+) investor. Since they tend to rise in a steady fashion, they can also be good candidates for covered calls or calendar calls (the options equivalent). And bears might want to add the more mature candidates to their watchlist as even the best stock will eventually take a breather.
These are just a few of the more popular ways of using these picks. Hope this helps and I do appreciate your support and taking the time to ask a good question.
Happy trading!
