The Percent of global markets trading above their 50-day average is faltering. It’s dropped to 78% (83% for Developed Markets & 74% for Emerging Markets). Below 70% is a warning for the market, below 40% is usually bad news.

This week on the podcast, Jonathan Krinsky joins me for a chat about Sector Rotation. While the Mega-cap names like Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft grinded sideways, or even down, since August, the Small-caps, Mid-caps and Micro-cap names have been the leaders. What happens if the Mega-caps break out of these bases to new all-time highs? Does the sector rotation continue? Or do we then rotate into the more defensive areas like Staples, Utilities and REITs, which currently keep making new relative lows?
Where does the US Dollar fit into all this? Will a Dollar rally bust the party and end the rotation into International equities and Commodities? We discussed all of this and so much more in a very short period of time. Jonathan Krinsky is the Chief Market Technician at Bay Crest Partners and puts out research for many long/short equity fund managers. He’s a CMT like me and we’ve known each other for many years. His perspective on markets always adds value.
This was fun. Enjoy!

I’m getting trolled more than I have in a long time. It’s almost like people are mad at me for being as bullish of equities as we’ve been, and continue to be…
What’s everyone so angry about? I don’t understand.
Anyway, yes there are stocks we want to buy. Can some stocks go down? Sure. Does that change the fact that there are stocks we want to buy or own? No.
As far as potential headwinds for stocks go, I’ve got 3 pretty simple ones today. [Read more…]

The latest E-Trade StreetWise survey, which is put out quarterly, revealed most investors (66%) believe the market is in bubble territory, and another 25% think it’s approaching one.
Check my math, but that’s over 90% of investors thinking we’re in or near a bubble.
A bubble!
Everything needs to be a bubble.
You see why we can’t have nice things?
I mean, what ever happened to a series of higher lows and higher highs defining an uptrend?
Too simple?
Not intellectual enough for you?
Fine. Let’s get into facts.
The Dow Jones Industrial Avg and Dow Jones Transportation Avg did nothing for almost 3 years, and just broke out in the 4th quarter last year. Is this a bubble? Or just the beginning of a new uptrend? [Read more…]

One of the main themes we’ve been hitting on in the past few months/quarters is the aggressive shift in leadership down the market cap scale.
When we take a step back, this all jives with what we’re seeing in other asset classes as investors are rushing into risk assets as they position themselves more offensively.
This development really began last March as the market was bottoming from its swift Q1 selloff. Although the relative trend really accelerated in early September as Mid, Small, and Micro-Caps began to drastically outperform their Large-Cap peers.
Let’s take a look at how this cap-rotation has impacted some of the secular leaders at a sector and industry level.

What would it take to finally end the long-term bear market in commodities?
How about Crude Oil Futures trading below zero?
Yes, remember when Oil traded in the negatives last year?
This is something most of us never thought was possible. If you had this on your list of possibilities, kudos to you I guess.
I didn’t. [Read more…]
