[Premium] Why This Cotton Trade Can Make Your Year!

March 14, 2016

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, the price of Cotton has collapsed recently hitting a low under 55.

[Premium] The S&P500 Ripped Higher Over The Past Month - Now What?

March 13, 2016

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 the U.S. and other developed markets, like Europe for example, are the laggards here. We turned bullish Global Equities in late January, particularly Emerging Markets, and it wasn't until a retest of the January lows, that we started to see the shift in the U.S. and other developed economies early last month.

We only wanted to be long the S&P500 if we were above the August and September lows. The bullish momentum divergence on last month's sell-off helped spark this mean reversion rally.

[Premium] What Intermarket Analysis Is Suggesting About The Current Market Environment

March 9, 2016

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 look at other assets against each other like Bonds, Commodities and Currencies. We price Gold in other currencies, and change around denominators for both trade idea generation and also for informational purposes.

Here are some of the things that stood out from this week's homework:

[Premium] Chart Of The Year: What To Do With Gold and Silver?

March 8, 2016

Sometimes I share with you guys what I think is a really interesting chart and/or trade and call it the "Chart of the Week". Other times I'll put together a study to try and confirm or invalidate a prior thesis of mine and I'll title that the "Spreadsheet of the Week". Today, however, I think I have what could very possibly be the Chart Of The Year!

[Premium] What Are U.S. Sectors Saying About Market Direction?

March 1, 2016

You guys know that I prefer to incorporate more of a weight-of-the-evidence approach to markets rather than basing my decision making on a single indicator. We look at stock markets all over the world to find themes, both bullish and bearish, and then take advantage of them within U.S. markets. I then take a similar approach and go sector by sector in the U.S., including a series of sub-sectors, to break it down even further and find themes within the U.S. As you guys well know, the reason we were bullish since January was because of the weight-of-the-evidence internationally, not because of what we saw in the S&P500 or Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Today I conducted an experiment where I went sector by sector doing my normal annotations and note-taking, but this time I asked myself 3 questions for each sector/sub-sector:
