Our International Hall of Famers list is composed of the 100 largest US-listed international stocks, or ADRs.

We've also sprinkled in some of the largest ADRs from countries that did not make the market cap cut. 

These stocks range from some well-known mega-cap multinationals such as Toyota Motor and Royal Dutch Shell to some large-cap global disruptors such as Sea Ltd and Shopify.

It's got all the big names and more–but only those that are based outside the US. You can find all the largest US stocks on our original Hall of Famers list.

The beauty of these scans is really in their simplicity.

We take the largest names each week and then apply technical filters in a way that the strongest stocks with the most momentum rise to the top.

Based on the market environment, we can also flip the scan on its head and filter for weakness.

Last summer, Sean and I toured Southeast Asia and gave presentations at CMT events in seven different countries.

I was lucky enough to learn firsthand about the local companies, the nuances of their financial markets, and the compelling growth stories that are playing out in this exciting region of the world.

I fell in love with some of the places I visited.

In countries like Vietnam, Malaysia, and the Philippines… you could literally see it. You could feel it in the air. You could hear it in the voices of the people we met and had conversations with. It was an exhilarating experience.

The runways for these countries to keep growing and eventually play a larger role in the world economy was obvious. The investment opportunity seemed massive.

I was all in on emerging Asia. It was a no-brainer.

But, there was one big problem…

The charts were not telling this story of growth and prosperity. These countries were all trading around new lows.

I was telling the same joke at every new CMT meeting when I got to the segment about local markets. I only had good news for our friends in Japan.

Welcome to The Junior International Hall of Famers.

With the goal of finding more bullish setups, we have decided to expand one of our favorite scans and broaden our regular coverage of the largest US-listed international stocks, or ADRs.

This scan is composed of the next 100 largest stocks by market cap, those that come after the top 100 and are thus covered by the International Hall of Famers universe.

Many of these names will someday graduate and join our original International Hall Of Famers list. The idea here is to catch these big trends as early on as possible.

Let’s dive right in and check out what these future big boys are up to.

This is our Junior International Hall of Famers list:

Welcome to The 2 to 100 Club.

In this scan, we look to identify the strongest growth 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.

The precious metals market is heating up.

Gold has been making new all-time highs consistently since March and now Silver looks like it wants to join in on the fun. 

I think there is a major catchup trade brewing as silver threatens to resolve this multi-year basing pattern. In fact, it looks like it may already be underway.

Today it rallied nearly 5%, marking its best day since May, and closed at its highest level in over 10 years.

I love to see this kind of momentum on breakouts.

I also think gold has given us a beautiful roadmap for where silver is headed next.

The chart below shows the historical correlation between gold and silver.

Uncorrelated trades continue to pay off as an effective way to diminish portfolio risk in this messy market environment.

A few days ago, a trade was put on United States Natural Gas Fund ETF $UNG for Breakout Multiplier members. You can see the details here.

Fast forward to today, and the value of those options have doubled. This gives us and our members the opportunity to take half off the table and enjoy a free ride.

While we are able to reduce our risk in the trade, and always want to in these cases, we still like Natural Gas a lot… maybe even more than we did when we put the trade on initially.

Here’s a look at natty gas putting the finishing touches on a short-term bearish-to-bullish reversal within the context of a longer-term rounding bottom formation.

We love our bottoms-up scans here at All Star Charts. We tend to get really creative when making new universes as we want to be sure they will deliver us the best opportunities the market has to offer.

However, when it comes to this one, it couldn't be any simpler!

With the goal of finding more bullish setups, we have decided to expand one of our favorite scans and broaden our regular coverage of the largest US stocks.

Welcome to The Junior Hall of Famers.

This scan is composed of the next 150 largest stocks by market cap, those that come after the top 150 and are thus covered by the Hall of Famers universe. Many of these names will someday graduate and join our original Hall Of Famers list. The idea here is to catch these big trends as early on as possible.

There is no need to overcomplicate things. Market cap is a quality filter at the end of the day. It only grows if price is rising. That's good enough for us.

Our Hall of Famers list is composed of the 150 largest US-based stocks.

These stocks range from the mega-cap growth behemoths like Apple and Microsoft – with market caps in excess of $2T – to some of the new-age large-cap disruptors such as Moderna, Square, and Snap.

It has all the big names and more.

It doesn’t include ADRs or any stock not domiciled in the US. But don’t worry; we developed a separate universe for that. Click here to check it out.

The Hall of Famers is simple.

We take our list of 150 names and then apply our technical filters so the strongest stocks with the most momentum rise to the top.

Let’s dive right in and check out what these big boys are up to.

Here’s this week’s list:

When it comes to pot stocks, there is Innovative Industrial Properties, and there is everything else.

These guys are just built different than the others.

They don’t own the cannabis. They don’t even touch it. They own the properties that are used to grow, distribute, and sell it.

For this reason, they are not susceptible to all the well-known risks that the growers and dispensaries have to deal with.

So it is no surprise that the chart looks so different from its peer group.

Dividend Aristocrats are easily some of the most desirable investments on Wall Street. These are the names that have increased dividends for at least 25 years, providing steadily increasing income to long-term-minded shareholders.

As you can imagine, the companies making up this prestigious list are some of the most recognizable brands in the world. Coca-Cola, Walmart, and Johnson & Johnson are just a few of the household names making the cut.

Here at All Star Charts, we like to stay ahead of the curve. That's why we're turning our attention to the future aristocrats. In an effort to seek out the next generation of the cream-of-the-crop dividend plays, we're curating a list of stocks that have raised their payouts every year for five to nine years.

We call them the Young Aristocrats, and the idea is that these are "stocks that pay you to make money." Imagine if years of consistent dividend growth and high momentum and relative strength had a baby, leaving you with the best of the emerging dividend giants that are outperforming the averages.

When investing in the stock market, we always want to approach it as "a market of stocks."

Regardless of the environment, there are always stocks showing leadership and trending higher.

We may have to look harder to identify them depending on current market conditions. But there are always stocks that are going up.

The same can be said for weak stocks. Regardless of the environment, there are always stocks that are going down, too. 

We already have multiple scans focusing on stocks making all-time highs, such as Hall of Famers, Minor Leaguers, and the 2 to 100 Club.

We filter these universes for stocks that are exhibiting the best momentum and relative strength characteristics.
