At the beginning of each week, we publish performance tables for a variety of different asset classes and categories along with commentary on each.
Looking at the past helps put the future into context. In this post, we review the absolute and relative trends at play and preview some of the things we’re watching in order to profit in the weeks and months ahead.
As we discussed in last week’s report, bears have a lot of work cut out for them.
With all this rotation into offensive groups and cyclical areas of the market, they are really running out of talking points. We literally can’t find a meaningful group of stocks in the US or even abroad that we would want to short at this point.
This is excellent information as it’s not something we can say very often… and it’s bullish, just to be clear.
The move higher in equities is being supported by significant cap-rotation at the index level as well as broad participation among sectors, and most recently, even international stock markets.
Basically, it’s hard to find stocks that aren’t in uptrends… anywhere.
