We live in a global market environment. There are still people out there who think that stocks in the United States go up or down because of what is happening in the United States. I think in order to properly identify the trend in stocks as an asset class, we have to look all over the world. In this video we do just that!

JC beat me to writing about Interest Rates this morning, but while I came to the same conclusion I wanted to add some additional perspective that shared on Real Vision this past Monday.

While that segment was about Mid-Cap Industrial stock Herman Miller Inc., a big part of that thesis is that we're seeing US Rates begin to stabilize.

The chart I want to share today is the Regional Banks/REITs ratio, which highlights an "Interest"-ing divergence between Equities and the Bond/Commodities markets.

We've been talking about the rotation into Mid-Cap Industrials since April, but Monday I sat down with Jake Merl for Real Vision's "Trade Ideas" show to discuss a long-term breakout in Herman Miller Inc. (MLHR).

Below is the video discussing my thesis for this trade. I hope you enjoy!

I think there is a big move brewing in the U.S. Treasury Bond Market. US Interest Rates have gotten crushed along with rates all over the world. It's not just a U.S. thing, but a global phenomenon. 

Yesterday, the All Star Charts team published a bullish piece on the New York Times $NYT, suggesting the stock has the potential to leap as much as 50% from current prices. For those of us interested in leveraging this bullish idea using options, you'll like what I have in store for you today.

Here's the chart that has us excited:

If you're familiar with our analysis, you've probably noticed that Fibonacci Extensions and Retracements play a vital role in our process.

From setting upside objectives to identifying areas of potential support and resistance, Fibonacci is a versatile tool.

As with any tool, there are times when it works better than others. And while we don't want to get into every intricate detail of how and where we use it, we did want to share a great example of Fibonacci in action.

What if I told you that we can potentially make 50% on a trade with minimal risk. What if I also told you that it's showing tremendous relative strength and positive momentum? Do I have your attention? You'd certainly have mine!

I love getting involved in stocks breaking out to new all time highs. I love it even more when I can leverage into the play with long options when volatility is low. The bang for the buck if you get hold of a big mover is so much more powerful.

We've got one of these opportunities setting up in the financial sector and it has my attention.

These are the registration details for 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 video of the call will be archived in the members section to re-watch any time and the PDF of the charts will be made available as well.

This month’s Conference Call will be held on Wednesday July 17th at 7PM ET. Here are the details for the call:

We've all heard about "Dr. Copper's" ability to gauge global economic growth. What is not discussed as much is that Copper is very highly correlated with Emerging Market stocks, not so much developed markets. With Copper right now setting up for a potentially outsized move, the implications of its direction will likely impact stocks throughout the emerging markets space.

James Brodie started out auditing for Arthur Andersen and did not particularly enjoy it. In the early 1990s he started to learn about derivatives at the largest bank in the world before ultimately moving to Credit Suisse. He's lived in London, Singapore, New York and Tokyo trading currencies for both the banks and proprietary and then started his own hedge fund. James is also on the Board of the CMT Association. I really enjoyed the advice he gives about what he learned from 2 massive losses he's taken throughout his career. James is a big fan of behavioral finance and we talk about different studies where we've learned that the better traders actually have more losing trades than winning trades. Currently James is watching Gold, EURJPY and US Interest Rates and talks about how he wants to trade them. This was a fun conversation where we covered a lot of things.

I can't think of a better time to talk about Fibonacci Extensions. The Dow Jones Industrial Average right now is fighting to break through an important cluster of extensions that stem from the last two epic peaks we had in the market: 2000 and 2007. A breakout above 27,000 could spark a new cyclical bull market that we believe falls within the context of an ongoing structural bull market. In other words, this is a more intermediate-term breakout (years) while structurally (decades) we have already been in a bull market since arguably 2013 or even 2016.

In this video I talk about 2 key extensions: 261.8% and 423.6% which is exactly where the Dow stopped going up in early 2018. Was 17 months enough time at these levels before we can move on? Let's discuss:
