This week we're looking at a stock from the industrial manufacturing sector. Stocks from this sector continue to show strength as the market continues to rally.

The largest insider transaction on today's list was reported in a Form 4 filing by former Coca-Cola $KO director Herbert Allen.

Allen reported a purchase worth roughly $2 million.

Today is more of a wait-and-see day until the FOMC announcement this afternoon.

Messy action all around today.

The market was up a lot pre-market and gave it all back early morning.

Our list is full of insider buys by company CEOs today.

The largest insider transaction is a Form 4 filing by the CEO of Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Company $BHVN, Vlad Coric.

October turned out to be a decent month for the overall market.

Let's see what November brings.

This is one of our favorite bottom-up scans: Follow the Flow.

In this note, we simply create a universe of stocks that experienced the most unusual options activity — either bullish or bearish, but not both.

We utilize options experts, both internally and through our partnership with The TradeXchange. Then, we dig through the level 2 details and do all the work upfront for our clients.

Our goal is to isolate only those options market splashes that represent levered and high-conviction, directional bets.

We also weed out hedging activity and ensure there are no offsetting trades that either neutralize or cap the risk on these unusual options trades.

What remains is a list of stocks that large financial institutions are putting big money behind.

And they’re doing so for one reason only: because they think...

Welcome to Under the Hood, where we'll cover all the action for the week ended October 28, 2022. This report is published bi-weekly and rotated with our The Minor Leaguers.

What we do here is analyze the most popular stocks during the week and find opportunities to either join in and ride these momentum names higher, or fade the crowd and bet against them.

We use a variety of sources to generate the list of most popular names.

There are so many new data sources available that all we need to do is organize and curate them in a way that shows us exactly what we want: a list of stocks that are seeing an unusual increase in investor interest.

Whether we’re measuring increasing interest based on large institutional purchases, unusual options activity, or...

Today was a nice consolidation day, with the indices just chopping around. If the indices can continue to trade sideways, we can hopefully work off overbought levels.

I'd like $SPX 3,835 to hold if this market wants to trend higher.

Happy Halloween!

They pinned the close on Friday on the $SPX at 3,900. The "W" pattern I spoke about a month back seems to be in play. We have resistance now at 3,945.

The largest insider buy on today's list is a Form 4 filing by CD&R Boulder Holdings LP.

The firm disclosed the purchase of approximately $6 million worth of shares in Beacon Roofing Supply $BECN.

For so long it had been Bigs over Smalls.

People would even complain that it was only 5 stocks driving market returns.

Do you remember how hilarious that was?

Good, because it's so much funnier now.

Get this, those same people complaining that only 5 stocks were driving the market higher are now complaining that those 5 stocks aren't participating.

Market returns are currently being driven by all the other stocks. Those 5 big massive ones are doing their very best to hold the market down, but it's not working.

Investors are buying stocks, whether you like it or not. And they're buying the smaller ones at a much faster rate than their larger-cap counterparts.

Look at the Small-cap Russell2000 hitting new Year-to-Date highs vs the Large-cap S&P500.

And of course Small-caps are also hitting new 16-month...
