Last week in our note to Institutional Clients we highlighted the potential for mean-reversion in the relative performance of Small and Micro-Caps, driven by rotation into Financials and Healthcare.
Stocks And Commodities Pointing To Higher Rates
Interest Rates in the United States hit new 52-week lows last month. But from the looks of it, the commodities market and stock market are not in agreement with that direction. It’s when we see divergences among asset classes that it gets my attention.
Today we’re looking at the divergences between stocks, bonds and commodities that I believe are pointing to higher rates this quarter. If we’re going to take the weight-of-the-evidence approach, it’s 2 to 1 in favor of rising interest rates. [Read more…]
JC, What’s Your Favorite Chart Right Now?
One of my good college buddies always busts my chops because he thinks it’s ridiculous that look at charts all day. Today he calls me about some other stuff, but randomly asked what was my favorite chart. I’m like, “…of all time or right now?”. He said right now, what’s my favorite chart?
It got me thinking. But my first reaction was the SPX/CRB chart. This is one of the most fascinating situations in the world today. [Read more…]
Bond-Proxies Peaking Our Interest
From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting
I received a ton of great responses via Twitter and email for this week’s Mystery Chart, so thank you for that.
A lot of you were leaning towards the short side, with different approaches and stops. Some were neutral, but very few of you were leaning long.
[Premium] Monthly Conference Call Video Recording April 2019
This is the video recording of the April 2019 Conference Call.
US Dollars Are Steering The Ship
A big theme for me this year has been the US Dollar and how it will impact stocks as an asset class. The thought process coming into 2019 was simple. The Dollar had rallied throughout 2018 to reach some pretty critical levels. The idea was that if the Dollar was going to rip right through there, it was more than likely happening in an environment where investors would be fleeing to safety. That’s the type of market where stocks are selling off. The opposite of that argument was that if the Dollar was not breaking out, that stocks would likely be doing well, both in the U.S. and more importantly globally.
Fast forward to today, almost 1/3 of the way done with the year, and stock have performed very well. In fact, as Piper Jaffray’s Craig Johnson mentioned in this week’s podcast, stocks have had an incredible entire year already, just a few months in. Look what the US Dollar Index has done during this period: Nothing. [Read more…]
All Star Interviews Season 2, Episode 21: Craig Johnson, Chief Market Technician at Piper Jaffray
This week on the podcast we have the pleasure of chatting with Craig Johnson, Chief Market Technician at Piper Jaffray. I’ve known Craig for a long time and love the work that he puts out. During the day he speaks to buy side clients all over the world. As a past president of the CMT Association, he has surrounded himself with some of the best minds in the history of technical analysis. His perspective based on who he speaks to and his experiences throughout his career make me want to listen when he has something to say. In this conversation we discuss the rest of the year for U.S. stocks and sectors. There’s a part in this episode that focuses on breadth and what we’re both looking for moving forward. Inflation, or lack thereof, is something he’s watching, so we talk about Gold, Oil and other inflationary factors that could impact stocks and bonds. We covered a lot. I really enjoyed this one!

All Star Interviews Season 2, Episode 20: Eddy Elfenbein of Crossing Wall Street
This week we have a special guest on the podcast: Eddy Elfenbein of Crossing Wall Street and PM for the $CWS Exchange Traded Fund. This is a show about Technical Analysis so I think it’s important to also include some of the masters of Fundamental Analysis to tell us how they find charts and technicals helpful in their process. Eddy is one of the original Financial Bloggers and I have a ton of respect for him and his work. He is a pioneer in both social media and portfolio management. I love how he explains his appreciation for Intermarket Analysis and Relative Strength as useful tools throughout his process. As many of you know, these two are near and dear to my heart so it’s cool to see the Fundamental community embracing them in similar ways. This was a fun conversation! [Read more…]
