I look at a few hundred charts per day across multiple timeframes, and thousands each weekend, but I very rarely find an idea that's actionable at that particular moment. This ...
For long time readers of All Star Charts, you guys pretty much know my deal. I put in more work that most people and I include markets in my studies that the majority of investors choose to ignore. In order to take a weight-of-the-evidence approach to...
This Thursday March 24th, I will be presenting at an all day live webinar presented by Investor Inspiration. I will be joining six additional speakers and...
Back in November of last year, I decided to start writing an “Open Letter About the Current Market Environment” and posting it on my blog. This was just a summary of what I call my “homework” (...
It's been awfully lonely being a China bull over the past couple of months. All I keep hearing is how China is falling apart and slowing and all sorts of negative sentiment towards the country and its stock market. In the real world, however, where we...
U.S. Treasury Bonds have treated us very well this year. Coming into January we wanted to buy a breakout above $122-123 in the U.S. Treasury Bond ETF $TLT with a target above $133. This upside target was achieved last month as interest rates...
This is a forgotten space. Since early 2014, the last time Ags had any sort of meaningful rally, we've just seen a deterioration of prices. Whether you're looking at Corn, or Coffee, or Soybeans, the Ags have gotten destroyed. We've see massive...
The noise surrounding the Federal Reserve is some of the silliest and biggest wastes of time in all of the financial industry. The media loves to talk about it, because well, they get paid to talk, not to help you make money in the market. Discussing ...
This has been a pretty simple one coming into 2016. Not all charts are as clean as this, so it's hard for me to argue against selling Growth and buying Value. The longer-term trend has been to buy Growth stocks and sell Value stocks since 2006. This...
Cotton has been in a horrific bear market for 5 years. When you talk about some of the worst places to be on planet earth over the past half-decade, Cotton has to be near the top of the list. After peaking near 220 in early 2011,...
Although Turkey has already rallied 25% from the January 20th lows, the weight of evidence suggests this may be the start of a much larger move to the upside on an absolute and...
We've had quite a rally over the past month in the U.S. Stock Market. This is exactly the type of behavior that we should come to expect after a failed breakdown and bullish momentum divergence, like we saw occur in early February. Let's remember that...
Dow Theory is something that gets thrown around a lot, usually irresponsibly. What I mean is, that there is a lot more to Dow Theory that what you normally hear about on the TV or read about on the Internets. Usually, conversations about Dow Theory...
Fibonacci Analysis is one of the most valuable and easy to use tools that we have as market participants. I've studied supply and demand behavior for over a decade, and I find myself using Fibonacci tools every single day. These tools can be applied...
This doesn't have to be complicated guys. Supply and Demand dynamics do not change. I keep hearing how this market is "algo driven" or whatever, but those algos are built by humans. Supply and demand is based on fear and greed in humans, whether...
Intermarket Day is one of my favorite days. Yes I'm a huge nerd. Deal with it!
This is when I go through many markets relative to each other. These markets include individual U.S. Sectors compared with the overall U.S. Stock market. We also ...
Today is the 7th anniversary of the S&P500 closing low in March 2009. This date, March 9th, has gone down as the historic low in the stock market after the financial crisis of 2008. But the truth is that the market of stocks bottomed out well...
During broad rallies in the equity markets, both in the US and globally, I look for those names / sectors / indices that are not participating to the upside, as those are normally...
