Mystery Chart (04-17-2019)

New Mystery Chart!
For those new to the exercise, we take a chart of interest and eliminate the x and y-axes and and all labels eliminated to minimize bias. 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 to think about what you would do right now. Buy, Sell, or Do Nothing?
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!

Participation May Broaden In These Three Sectors
Most of the Equally-Weighted Sector Indexes we track have been underperforming their Cap-Weighted counterparts for the last 16 months, however, we are starting to see some signs that a counter-trend rally in three sectors may be brewing.
[Premium] The Industrial Stocks We’re Buying
From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting
Last week’s Mystery Chart Reveal focused on the rotation into Industrial stocks. In this post I’m going to point out five names in this sector from the S&P 1500 with extremely well-defined risk and skewed reward/risk at current levels.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average Today
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is my favorite of all of the stock market indexes. You know how many charts we look at every week at our shop. So with the plethora of price data that comes across my desk, it’s really the simplicity of the 30 stocks that represent the Dow that makes me appreciate the index for what it is.
The Dow is a price weighted index where the highest priced stocks represent a larger portion of the index. For this reason, it often gets dismissed in favor of the “broader-based”, market cap-weighted S&P500. Some like myself even prefer the Russell3000 index which is really representative of the US Stock market. Funny enough, as different as these indexes may be on paper, that’s why they play the game. Here are what the 3 of these things look like in real life. [Read more…]
[Options] Feeling 100
Most regular readers of mine know I’m a big fan of the “hundred-dollar-roll.”
If you aren’t familiar with this phenomenon, essentially, its the tendency for traders and investors to be distracted by a big, sexy, (but ultimately meaningless) round number. And 100 is the most common of the big round numbers that captures the fancy of speculators new and old.
And this phenomenon isn’t new. In fact, in Reminiscences of a Stock Operator (the greatest trading book ever written, in my opinion), Jesse Livermore mentions trading stocks as they approach 100, 200, or 300 was one of his favorite strategies as he could very often count on that large number acting as a magnet for buy orders — which then eventually results in further follow thru for several more points beyond the round number. “There is nothing new on Wall Street,” he’d say.
This is all on my mind as a household name and a darling of Wall Street and Main Street emerges from a nice bounce off its 50-day moving average and approaches 100… [Read more…]
Notable Rotation Into Industrials
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 toward the long side, with different approaches and stops. Some were neutral, but none of you were getting short.
