The market is a beautiful thing. We have uptrends and we have downtrends. We weigh the evidence regularly to determine which one of these we’re in, or if it's a sideways trend. Our approach to the market has to depend on the market environment we have...
Over the weekend I ran the performance metrics of the Russell 3000's Sectors and Industries to get some perspective on where the leadership is since the S&P 500's high on October 3rd and...
The big question coming into this wasn't whether or not we wanted to be sellers of stocks, but how low could stocks go? The point I tried to make was that they could go a lot lower than any of us think. I've been around too long and have seen too much...
The thing about the market is that there is no holy grail. No matter how hard you try, you're not going to find it. The holy grail does not exist. We have to weigh the evidence knowing full well that we're working with incomplete information...
Marijuana stocks have never been that HIGH on our list of areas to look at given their smaller market-cap, average trading volume, and short price history often inhibits larger players from...
This is the monthly conference call for Premium Members of All Star Charts. In this call we will discuss the global market environment and how to profit from it. As always, this will include Stocks, Interest Rates, Commodities and Currencies. The...
Here is a list of stocks we want to be shorting to profit from the new bearish stock market environment we've been in this month. I believe this type of market is here to stay and here's how we can benefit:
The way I see it, we're either buying stocks at higher levels or we're buying them at lower ones. If this is just a shake out and we take off from here, that's fine. If we go lower, which is the higher probability, then it will take a series of...
Two weeks ago I laid out what it would take for us to start getting more defensive in this market and not just blindly buying any and all dips. The thesis was that if certain things...
The one thing we do know is that stocks are not in a downtrend. New all-time highs are consistent with a stock market environment where prices are rising. We saw new all-time monthly closing highs in most of the major U.S. Stock Indexes last...
There's always a tell. Before the most recent rally we've seen in U.S. stocks since August, Aerospace & Defense stocks were breaking out. It was hard to be bearish equities with this A&D group, an important part of the Industrials sector, and...
We have been pounding the table to be buying U.S. stocks and ignoring the bearish rhetoric coming from almost everyone these days. I have never seen a stock market crash where people have been this prepared for it. I get an email a day warning me...
This is the monthly conference call for Premium Members of All Star Charts. In this call we will discuss the global market environment and how to profit from it. As always, this will include Stocks, Interest Rates, Commodities and Currencies. The...
I think the overwhelming theme here is that there are a lot more stocks I want to buy than stocks I want to sell. Why do we need to over complicate this?
Another thing I'm seeing is the January highs as a reference point. The question is...
This is easily the most valuable exercise I do each month. It takes me half an hour, just 12 times a year. It's the best 6 hours I'll spend in 2018. It helps eliminate the noise by forcing us to only look once a month. It brings us home, to the...
Friday we wrote about the US Dollar breaking out to 1-year highs and why it's one of the most important charts we're watching from an intermarket perspective. With...
