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 learned a long time ago from one of my early mentors, "Don't Fight Papa Dow". In other words, this is the most important index in the world. When someone asks you what the market did today, they're wondering how the Dow Jones Industrial...
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...
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...
Rates are at multi-year highs and bond prices are at multi-year lows. This has been the trend. We've been in the camp that rates would break out above 3% and that 4% was next. This has been logical target for a variety of reasons, but today that is...
For our subscribers I've discussed what we need to be seeing in terms of market breadth before stepping in and trading stocks in India on the long side (here,...
There is a lot of noise being made this week about potential divergences in U.S. Stock markets. The one thing that gets lost in the shuffle is that just because asset A is rising and asset B is not keeping up, that asset A needs to correct and come...
The Island Reversal is a rare but important pattern that has shown up across many of India's Major Indexes this month. As a result, I want to use this post as an educational opportunity to highlight what this pattern is, as well as explain how we're...
This has been the big theme throughout this bull market: Money flowing into Consumer Discretionary stocks at a more rapid rate than towards Consumer Staples. By our work, this is characteristic of an uptrend in U.S. stocks and has been a great tell...
The Nifty Financial Services Index accounts for roughly a third of the Nifty 500's weighting. With the next largest components Consumer Goods (13.40%), Energy (12%), and IT (10.90%) ripping to the upside, we know that they'll eventually need to rest,...
I know the US Dollar isn't as sexy as Tesla's Elon Musk tweeting market moving information every few hours or Apple hitting a trillion dollar market-cap, but I have been waiting all summer for...
If you've been reading our blog for a while, you're probably familiar with our process and how we identify reward/risk scenarios that are ridiculously skewed in our favor. With that said, the way we accomplish that doesn't always look exactly the same...
Most Nifty Indexes' largest components have a very large weighting on their performance, and Nifty Pharma is no exception. Sun Pharmaceuticals represents roughly a quarter of the index, so today we're going to look at it's role as a potential leading...
Interest rates are on the move, with the Ten-Year Treasury Yield breaking 3% once again after working off its failed breakout attempt from May. One relationship that's highly correlated with...
The relative weakness of the Nifty Free Float Smallcap 100 has been a theme all throughout 2018, so with today's chart of the week I want to take a look at what that potentially means for the broader market.
Consumer Discretionaries have been a great indicator of market strength for a long time. This has been the best performing sector off the 2009 lows by a long shot, nearly doubling the performance of Tech, which has also been a monster. Discretionaries...
Every time the stock market rallies over any significant period, we're bound to see the "most shorted stocks" chart come out of the woodwork with an ominous caption like "presented without...
Despite the higher highs and higher lows in the major indices, all-time highs in riskier assets such as micro and small-cap stocks, and fresh breakouts in leading sectors like Technology and...
I don't think many people are prepared for a 60% rip in shares of Tesla. I see the headlines coming through written by people who have never traded a stock in their lives. I see the pessimism and skepticism. Most importantly, I also see that a third...
The news broke last night that Twitter will be replacing Monsanto in the S&P 500 on June 7th. This announcement comes at a time where Twitter is hitting 3-year highs and is trending higher...
It's very easy to get caught up in the day to day noise of the market, especially if you're allowing toxic media content into your life. It's virtually impossible for us to completely ignore it all, although I do try my best. So, at the very least, we...
I'm not the kind of guy that likes to give funny names to price patterns in the market. For me, it's more about the implications of that market behavior and less about what we call it. Today I want to take a look at US Treasury Bonds and what some...
