Intermarket Day is one of my favorite days. Yes I'm a huge nerd. Deal with it!
This is when I go through many markets relative to each other. These markets include individual U.S. Sectors compared with the overall U.S. Stock market. We also ...
Sometimes I share with you guys what I think is a really interesting chart and/or trade and call it the "Chart of the Week". Other times I'll put together a study to try and confirm or invalidate a prior thesis of mine and I'll title that the "...
Every month we host a conference call for All Star Charts Members where we discuss ongoing themes throughout the global marketplace as well as changes in trends where new positions would be most appropriate. This includes U.S. Stocks & Sectors,...
You guys know that I prefer to incorporate more of a weight-of-the-evidence approach to markets rather than basing my decision making on a single indicator. We look at stock markets all over the world to find themes, both bullish and bearish, and then...
Precious metals are a sensitive subject in some circles. Discussions about gold or silver tend to bring out more anger and craziness than other assets. As someone who couldn't care less about what we're trading, Gold, Apple, Bonds, Australian Dollars...

There is much more to life that what the Dow did yesterday. Every week we go chart by chart looking at all of the major U.S. Stock Market Indexes. This analysis includes the S&P500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, Dow Jones Transportation Average,...
Commodities and Currencies are telling an interesting story. When you go through each of them one by one, you start to recognize ongoing themes, whether in energy, metals or agriculture. In addition, based on specific strength and weakness in...
After doing my U.S. Sector and Sub-sector review, there is a common theme that I think is worth pointing out. Structurally speaking, things now look worse. The best sectors that had been leading are now breaking uptrend lines and key support....
Going country by country all over the world is one of the best tools that we have as market participants. The value that I’ve gotten over the years from looking at the behavior of all of the countries, instead of just the U.S. is a huge factor in why...
