When we think about stock market performance in 2022, not too many of us are probably thinking about that old Wall Street adage, "a rising tide lifts all boats". Quite frankly, outside of the past week, there's not too much rising these days - unless we're talking about the energy sector....keep reading

For those of you who don't know, we maintain 3 portfolios of 10 equal-weighted stocks for our EB.com members. We have our Model, Aggressive, and Income portfolios. We change our holdings every 90 days, just about the time that earnings season comes to a close. So our portfolio "drafts" occur on February 19th, May 19th, August 19th, and November 19th....keep reading

Two months ago, the commodity chemicals ($DJUSCC) group was languishing near a 3-year relative low (black arrow on chart below) vs. the S&P 500. But things changed dramatically when the group broke its relative downtrend in early April. It ranks 7th out of 104 industry groups over the past three months and hasn't even broken out on an absolute basis yet. When and if that breakout occurs, I believe we'll see even more money rotating into this space:...keep reading

A key rotational change took place in December 2021 as the S&P 500's final high was led by defensive sectors - never a good sign. I wrote and talked about it then as it was a major contributing factor that led me to declare the market top in late December/early January. I then discussed my potential target on the S&P 500 of 3500-3800 at MarketVision 2022, held on Saturday, January 8th. The U.S. stock market is probably THE key leading indicator. When the S&P 500 sets new highs, it's generally a bullish statement about the U.S. economy. But when those highs are led by defensive sectors like consumer staples (XLP) and utilities (XLU), it's giving us quite the contradictory statement as Wall Street is clearly growing more defensive....keep reading

I featured a chart in my Daily Market Report to EB.com members yesterday of the renewable energy group ($DWCREE). There's a beautiful positive divergence on the weekly chart that suggests the industry could have another 20% of upside potential - just to reset its weekly PPO at the centerline. If this were to occur, I'd want to know which stock or stocks in this space might be poised to make a big move. Enter Jinko Solar (JKS):...keep reading

On the 3rd Friday of every month, we have monthly options expiration. Time is of the essence with options and we're now just two days away from June options expiration. I can tell you one thing - there's a TON of net in-the-money put premium sitting on the table for market makers, so we all need to beware of sudden reversals to wipe out this put premium. Amazon.com (AMZN) is a perfect example of this....keep reading

There are a lot of "issues" that the current bull market is dealing with. While it could be argued that the bulls are failing because they've been unable to drive prices back to all-time highs, I feel good knowing that many negative divergences on weekly charts and historical headwinds have done little thus far to encourage widespread price breakdowns...keep reading
