This is the weekly post that aggregates all the charts we put together throughout the week and organizes them all into one, easy to flip through deck.
Where To Dig for Opportunities in Natural Resources
From the desk of Steven Strazza @Sstrazza and Ian Culley @Ianculley
The bull market for commodities is alive and well. They were the top-performing asset class last year, and they’re kicking off the new year with a lead once again.
The energy-heavy CRB Index is printing new seven-year highs, and our ASC Equal-Weight Commodity Index just resolved from a nine-month base to its highest level since 2013.
To take advantage of this area of leadership, we’ve been highlighting strength and outlining long ideas in a variety of commodity markets.
We know not everyone has access to the futures markets, and that’s OK, because there are plenty of opportunities to express a bullish thesis on commodities through the equity market.
To make this easier, we’ve put together a universe of stocks that offer investors exposure to a wide array of different commodities.
Let’s dive in and talk about some of them.
International Hall of Famers (01-21-2022)
From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza
Our International Hall of Famers list is composed of the 100 largest US-listed international stocks, or ADRs. We’ve also sprinkled in some of the largest ADRs from countries that did not make the market-cap cut.
These stocks range from some well-known mega-cap multinationals such as Toyota Motor and Royal Dutch Shell to some large-cap global disruptors such as Sea Ltd and Shopify.
It’s got all the big names and more — but only those that are based outside the US. You can find all the largest US stocks on our original Hall of Famers list.
The beauty of these scans is really in their simplicity.
We take the largest names each week and then apply technical filters in a way that the strongest stocks with the most momentum rise to the top.
Based on the market environment, we can also flip the scan on its head and filter for weakness.
Let’s dive in and take a look at some of the most important stocks from around the world.
Buying Support Breaks Is Not The Best Strategy
Asset prices trend. We know that.
It’s why technical analysis works.
Price changes for stocks, rates, commodities and even crytpos move in trends. They’re not random.
We know this. It’s not a secret.
So we should respect the behavior of the market. Not stick to narratives the lead to poor risk management. [Read more…]
January Conference Call: 5 Key Takeaways
From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza
Tuesday night we held our January Monthly Conference Call, which Premium Members can access and rewatch here.
In this post, we’ll do our best to summarize it by highlighting five of the most important charts and/or themes we covered, along with commentary on each.
Let’s get right into it!
[Video] Options Trade of the Week w/ Sean & JC | They’re Only “Semi” Scared
We’re putting on an $SMH March 265/270/320/325 Iron Condor for an approximately $2.15 credit.
This means we’re short the 270 puts and 320 calls, while protecting our position $5 away on both sides with long 265 puts and long 325 calls. We’ll be doing the same number of contracts at all four strikes to keep the risk even.
Check out our short video with the thought process behind these trades: [Read more…]
Global Yields Confirm
From the desk of Steven Strazza @Sstrazza and Ian Culley @IanCulley
There have been some fireworks to kick off the new year. One of the biggest developments in 2022 has to be the US 10-year yield breaking to its highest level in two years.
The direction in which yields resolve from their 2021 consolidation will impact all the major asset classes, including bonds, stocks, and commodities. We’re already seeing procyclical assets catch an aggressive bid as the 10-year flirts with an upside resolution.
For now, the path of least resistance is higher. But we still need to see follow-through and confirmation before we can be comfortable that these new highs are here to stay.
When we look at the international bond market, it’s not just domestic Treasury yields that are on the rise. We’re actually seeing rates make new highs all across the developed world.
This is bullish confirmation of what we’re seeing domestically, as it suggests the current rising rate environment is a global phenomenon and not just a US story.
Let’s check back in on the US 10-year yield along with other benchmark rates in order to illustrate this point. [Read more…]
2 to 100 Club (01-19-2022)
From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza
Welcome to the 2 to 100 Club.
As many of you know, something we’ve been working on internally is using various bottom-up tools and scans to complement our top-down approach. It’s really been working for us!
One way we’re doing this is by identifying the strongest growth stocks as they climb the market-cap ladder from small- to mid- to large- and, ultimately, to mega-cap status (over $200B). 
Once they graduate from small-cap to mid-cap status (over $2B), they come on our radar. Likewise, when they surpass the roughly $30B mark, they roll off our list.
But the scan doesn’t just end there. We only want to look at the strongest growth industries in the market, as that is typically where these potential 50-baggers come from.
Some of the best performers in recent decades – stocks like Priceline, Amazon, Netflix, Salesforce, and myriad others – would have been on this list at some point during their journey to becoming the market behemoths they are today.
When you look at the stocks in our table, you’ll notice we’re only focused on technology and growth industry groups such as software, semiconductors, online retail, solar, etc.
Then, like any good technician, we filter the list down to those that are closest to new highs. This allows the cream of these strong groups to rise to the top and helps streamline our mission to identify technical breakouts in the top-performing stocks.
