Expert technical analysis of financial markets by JC Parets
One of the biggest themes in last night’s Monthly Strategy Session was the sector rotation we’re seeing globally.
In this post, we’re sharing two bubble charts that highlight this occurrence and we’ll discuss how we’re approaching the market going forward.
Every month we get a fresh batch of Monthly Candlesticks. It only happens 12 times a year.
I promise you guys from the bottom of my heart that there is no other part of my entire process that provides as much value and information as my monthly chart review. Premium Members can access the Chartbook here. Stay tuned as we’ll be adding more workbooks of charts this week to the Chartbook section.
In the meantime, my friend Josh Brown and I have been doing these short monthly videos since the summer. They’re fun and I like how he pushes back against me sometimes. In other interviews they make it too easy on me. I like these!
This month we talk about the breakout in Biotech, Market-cap rotation into Small-caps, European Stocks performing well and what we’re doing about Gold & Bitcoin.
Here’s this month’s video in full:
In today’s analysis, we’re looking at Media. It’s been one of the subdued sectors in the market and we’ve been observing this space for any signal of revival in momentum.
Let’s get into what’s happening and how we’re approaching it.
Some divergences remain at the index level, but with the Tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 breaking out to new highs…the question is will we see the same rotation back into Technology stocks globally?
In this post, we’re taking a look and identifying the best reward/risk in the sector right now.

Welcome to the 2 to 100 Club.
Something we’ve been working on internally this year is using various bottoms-up tools and scans to complement our top-down approach. One way we’re doing this is by identifying 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, and Salesforce, to a myriad of others… all 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 will notice we are 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 52-week highs. This allows the cream of these strongest groups to rise to the top and makes our job easier to identify technical breakouts in the top-performing stocks.
This week on Happy Hour w/ Traders, I sit down with venture capitalist Howard Lindzon. He’s a Tech investor, or that’s what it feels like from my perspective. So my question was how he invests when money is rotating out of large-cap tech and into other areas?
This sparked an interesting conversation about using today’s tools to generate new ideas, even if they’re out of your wheelhouse. We have a massive community and new tools at our disposal that investors before us never had. Let’s be grateful, and let’s take advantage!
Here’s the video in full:
Last week we suggested that the major indices could be due for a pause after a massive run in November.
So far we’ve seen the large-cap indices churn sideways, but the mid and small-cap indices pushed to new recovery highs.
Today those mixed signals continue. Not just in India, but around the globe.
Let’s take a look at what we’re seeing and how we’re approaching it.
