Two weeks ago I laid out what it would take for us to start getting more defensive in this market and not just blindly buying any and all dips. The thesis was that if certain things...
The one thing we do know is that stocks are not in a downtrend. New all-time highs are consistent with a stock market environment where prices are rising. We saw new all-time monthly closing highs in most of the major U.S. Stock Indexes last...
There's always a tell. Before the most recent rally we've seen in U.S. stocks since August, Aerospace & Defense stocks were breaking out. It was hard to be bearish equities with this A&D group, an important part of the Industrials sector, and...
This is the monthly conference call for Premium Members of All Star Charts. In this call we will discuss the global market environment and how to profit from it. As always, this will include Stocks, Interest Rates, Commodities and Currencies. The...

Sector rotation in this market continues and the Agribusiness and Chemical Industries within the Materials Sector look to be heating up. While their performance on a relative basis is...
We've been extremely vocal about the Medical Devices space on the blog, and rightfully so, with the sector continuing its long-term trend of out-performance throughout 2018. The index has 57...
I could not be more thrilled that it's the end of the month for one reason alone: Monthly Candlestick Charts. They get me every time! It's easy to get lost in the every day noise surrounding the market. The chart review I do heading into the first of...
