We always hear the phrases "fading strength" or "selling into strength" from market participants, but what does that mean from a practical standpoint? How do you know what to sell? When do you...

Over the last three weeks Sun Pharmaceuticals has been doing its best Deutsche Bank impression, losing roughly a third of its value and trading at levels not seen since March 2013.

As the largest component of the Nifty Pharmaceuticals Index...

I've seen way too much at this point to underestimate what the market is capable of doing. People call me all the time and say, "JC crazy market huh?" or "Did you see that crazy move in XYZ". Yea I saw it. So what? As Jay-Z said in...

You hear it all the time, "Cash is King". But we forget that it really can be. Not all the time, very few times in fact, but cash does serve a great purpose.

There are a lot of institutions that are not allowed to go to cash, as part of their...

Crude Oil is down roughly 35% over the last two months as record bullish sentiment unwound and prices fell in what was essentially a straight line. There hasn't been any reason to bottom-fish...

If you're bullish coming out of this Autumn's correction, then you're betting that recent lows in the indexes mark significant bottoms.

While we at All Star Charts don't believe Bulls are out of the woods just yet, we're of the view that if...

Over the years I've been asked this question a lot: "What do I do? Should I sell now?"

This is often accompanied by a story about how they bought a stock or asset and it went down in price instead of up. The blame usually goes to a...

Happy Thanksgiving!

During our family's feast this year I'll be reflecting on my gratitude to each and every one of our subscribers, and to my team here at All Star Charts. I could not ask for a more engaged audience and a more top-notch group...

I'm on the east coast this week for the Thanksgiving holiday so I came into the city to say hi to friends. Catherine Murray and I had a nice conversation on BNN Bloomberg about US Stocks, Interest Rates and what Credit Spreads are suggesting for...

On October 30th we got more constructive on Indian stocks and put out a massive post with stocks to buy. Given that many of these trades were counter-trend in nature, we...

We could not be more thrilled to see stocks selling off. There has been more than enough evidence since the beginning of October to suggest that a more neutral approach to markets and/or selling stocks short has been the best course of action. Passive...

When we want to see what the market is doing on a given day, we all have our list of the ticker symbols we punch in: $DJIA or $SPY or $QQQ. Some people are more global and look at things like Gold, Crude Oil or Interest Rates and countries like...

Until stock markets sound the "all clear" signal and we can get back to our regularly scheduled bull market, we have to operate with a different set of rules in order to protect our capital -- both money and mind. Corrective or Bear Markets require a...

This is a special episode for me. James Bartelloni, CMT was one of my early mentors in the field of Technical Analysis. It's a treat...

Last Monday we discussed our thesis for a bounce in Indian stocks and by Friday we were talking about...

Well, here we are folks... Election Day.

Depending on who you talk to, today could be "the most important mid-term election of our lifetime." (aren't they all?)

All the hype. All the buildup. All the angst.

Regardless...

It's easy to say. You hear it all the time. That word, "Patience".

How many of us actual put this into practice? It isn't easy. We're an instant gratification society. How happy does it make you feel when someone 'likes' a picture of your kid...

The TSX Composite is down roughly 6.75% year-to-date, with stocks getting hit hard since their July 13th, 2018 high. Only one sector is positive over that time period, but I think its recent...

Counter-trend trades are lower probability by nature, which means risk management is vital both when they work and when they don't. Taking the loss and reevaluating when the trade thesis is invalidated is something most traders think about, but...

Small-caps have been lagging for most of the year with that trend really accelerating in May, posing a major headwind for the broader market. One thing we...
