Mega‑cap growth stocks carry most of the weight in today’s market. While a few big names stay strong, many parts of the S&P 500 are losing steam. That makes watching the market leaders extra important.
Analyst Dave Keller created a list called “Dave’s Dirty Dozen.” It contains twelve top‑tier growth stocks and ETFs that he checks every trading day. The list helps him see where the market is getting stronger and where cracks may be forming.
The dozen includes household names such as Apple, NVIDIA, Microsoft, Meta Platforms, Micron Technology, Alphabet, Amazon, Broadcom, and Tesla. Keller groups each ticker into one of three zones: strong up‑trends, sideways consolidation, or early distribution.
The purpose is simple: find out which growth stocks still attract buyers, which are taking a breather, and which might be starting to fall.
Keller also shows how he uses tools like Candlestick charts, Relative Rotation Graphs, performance tables, and a custom StockCharts dashboard. These visuals make it easy to spot the strongest and weakest symbols on a watchlist or in a portfolio.
Are today’s market leaders strong enough to lift the broader market higher? The answer lies in the patterns they draw on the charts.
