Like a fly to honey, I’m always attracted to asymmetric opportunities that offer limited risk and the potential for unlimited gains. Trading options allows us to quite literally create these types of risk/reward opportunities every day. It’s built into the very structure of your basic call or put option! And when we can spot a stock chart that offers us a little bit of an edge on the future direction of prices, it is time to take action. [Read more…]
Mystery Chart 05-15-2019
From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting
New Mystery Chart!
For those new to the exercise, we take a chart of interest and remove the x/y-axes and any other labels that would help identify it. The chart can be any security in any asset class on any timeframe on an absolute or relative basis. It can even be inverted or a custom index.
The point here is to not guess what it is, but instead think about what you would do right now. Buy, Sell, or Do Nothing?
Video: Today’s Overhead Supply In Stocks
We hear this term a lot: “Overhead Supply”. But what does that mean exactly?
Well, I’ll tell you what it means to me. When I look at today’s stock market, I see stocks rallying throughout 2017 and running into resistance, or more selling than buying, in January of 2018. After some distribution, stocks rallied once again late into the 3rd quarter last year, only fail and sell off. That was a beautiful sell-off in stocks that many of us enjoyed very much.
Fast forward to 2019 and we’ve had a killer rally in stocks that has brought us back to where this overhead supply party first got started early last year. This is now the 3rd attempt and failure for stocks. And when I say stocks, I don’t just mean the S&P500 or Dow Jones Industrial Average, I’m referring to stocks as an asset class.
In this video, I try and explain what I mean by pointing out the behavior of the Global 100 Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average, Dow Jones Composite Average, Dow Jones Internet Index and the IPO Index. They’re all telling a similar story of “Overhead Supply”. In the future, when I give educational seminars or speak at Universities, I will bring up these charts as excellent examples of the overhead supply dynamics we see quite often in the market, just rarely this clear.

This Chart Tells The Story Best
People love to hear a good story. We have an evolutionary desire to gossip and be told stories even if we know they’re untrue. As Sapiens, it’s important to know this about ourselves. But you know who definitely knows it? The media. And they’re going to use that desire against you every single day for their own profit. They will tell you stories all day every day as long as you’re willing to listen. They’re so thirsty for your attention that they’ll tell you anything just so they can sell ads to their precious sponsors. It’s their job to make the noise. It’s our job to ignore it.
Today, I’m going to show you the chart that actually tells the real story about what is going on in today’s market. I comb through thousands of charts a week and I can tell you for a fact that there is one underlying theme that I’m seeing across the board: Stocks, Sectors and Indexes, and that is the Overhead supply we’ve been stuck below since early last year.

This is the video recording of the May 2019 Conference Call.
My CMT Program Experience
From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting
Every few weeks I get a message from someone asking a question along the lines of “Should I enroll in the CMT Program?” As with most things, the answer is it depends on your individual situation.
While I can’t offer personalized advice to everyone, I can discuss my experience and the key benefits now that I’ve completed the process.
This post is going to be split into two parts; one where I explain my answer to the question that prompted this post, and the other where I summarize my actual experience in the program.
Insurance Stocks Weathering The Storm
From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting
Wednesday’s Mystery Chart is one of my favorite right now, so thank you everyone for your feedback and participation.
I received a lot of answers, but most of you were skeptical of the breakout and wanted to see more before getting involved. A few others wanted to be long with a tight stop and few, if any, were sellers.
With that as our backdrop, let’s get into it.
The Trend Is Not Our Friend

The trend is your friend…but what do we do if there is no trend?
