Stocks in the United States aren't up because of what is happening in New York or Washington DC. They are up despite of what is going on in those places. Stocks in the U.S. are up because stocks all over the world are up. That's how this works.
...then you simply have to get long The Granddaddy Oracle $ORCL here.
It appears Oracle has successfully digested the hit the stock took after it's most recent earnings report, and the stock is hanging just above the highs it set back in the...
Earlier this week, JC pointed out that the software sector broke out to new all-time highs. I don't mean to keep harping on this, as you've no doubt read JC making this point over and over, but this sector making highs is simply not something we are...
Every month I host a conference call for All Star Charts India Premium Members where we discuss ongoing themes throughout the India Share Market. We take a look...
The Indian Financial Services sector is broken down into three formal sector indices: The Nifty Financial Services index, the Nifty Bank index, and the Nifty Public Sector (PSU) Bank index. Both the Nifty Financial Services and Nifty Bank index have...
I think our messaging has been clear that we want to be buying equities, and buying those showing relative strength. The Nifty Financial Services index and the Nifty Bank index are sitting just off all-time highs relative to the Nifty 500, so I've...
I am a firm believer that the Stock Market, U.S. or otherwise, is in an uptrend that began in early 2016, or summer of 2016. You can buy me beers one day and we'll discuss less relevant data points, like this 6 month difference, that dorks like me...

In a recent report to Allstarcharts Premium subscribers, J.C. laid out a case why he's bullish on the Industrials sector and why that's important to the overall market. Not ever one to mince words: "we want to be buying right here right now and...
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Sean McLaughlin and I’ve been involved in financial markets as a Trader, Exchange Member, blogger, in building social communities, podcasting, training and in sales for 20 years.
In my last post I outlined the evidence from India and around the globe that suggests equities as an asset class are headed higher. I pointed out the failed head and shoulders topping...
When I go through all of the crypto currencies, the healthiest one and the only one already pressing up against key resistance is Ethereum. You guys know I look for relative strength and positive momentum. Ethereum is showing characteristics of both...
When I go through charts of the most popular crypto currencies, it's hard to ignore the fact that we're seeing prices breaking out above downtrend lines from their respective highs. Go one by one, we're seeing it all over.
Since the market's volatility picked up in late January, one key piece of the bear thesis has been weakness in Technology, yet we've not seen a crack and flush lower. I don't know about you, but I was...
Just because a stock or an index is choppy and moving sideways doesn’t mean we can’t participate in some profits. There’s opportunity in every situation, especially with options.
Many have fixated their attention on the "triangle pattern" that's formed the NYSE Composite Index and other major US indices. This pattern is a visual representation of the indecision between buyers and...
It's impossible for me to ignore. As someone who pays such close attention to Momentum, the fact that there are so few stocks showing bearish momentum characteristics is absurd. The overwhelming strength being shown here from stocks is spectacularly...
Until proven otherwise, it is irresponsible to be positioning for a bear market right now. The talking heads and twitterverse all seem to be rooting for -- cheering for, even -- the S&P 500 to break it's 200-day moving average and crash...
It's no secret that JC and I are extremely bullish on stocks. Just like you'd like to see in a bullish environment, we're being led higher by tech stocks. And there's no better barometer of health in the tech sector than seeing old bellweather...
Three weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending the CMT Association’s 45th Annual Symposium in the Financial District of New York City. In prior years I’ve lived vicariously through previous attendees’...
After a strong 2017 for equities as an asset class, 2018 has started off with a bit of a change of character. Volatility is back and frustrating stock market participants, with the median of 43 global stock market indices correcting 11% peak to trough...
It's hard for a mechanic to tell you what's wrong with your car without lifting the hood to see what's inside. In the stock market it's no different. We often hear people giving a diagnoses of the market's health simply by using the S&P500 or some...
