Some of you guys have been reading my work for over a decade. But I understand there are many newer readers, so I think it's important to address what's going on here. I've been called a Permabull many times for over 2 years now, meaning that they...

Is this 2008 all over again? 1987? 1929? I doubt it.

We're not seeing any stress in credit, which is where the real problems start. In fact, some stocks and sectors are going up while others are going down. We've seen relative strength in...

It's not just the U.S. that is breaking our important levels, stock market indexes all over the world are reacting to the volatility. Europe is flirting with dangerous areas but Brazil and Russia have bucked the trend, likely due to their exposure to...

What else can we do with that money?

That's the question we always want to ask ourselves.

I get asked all the time, "Hey JC, I own this stock, it's down x amount and I'm not sure what to do?". Man if I had a bitcoin for every...

CSX has been good to us.

We've been bullish $CSX all year. And we had a successful options play this summer that recently came to a profitable conclusion. JC...

There are a lot of interesting developments working through the markets these days. Whether it's the relentless sector rotation underneath the surface or the divergences between small and large-cap stocks, there is no shortage of topics to discuss...

From time to time I like to review some of my Best Practices for my own benefit, but also for the benefit of readers of this blog, and for subscribers to All Star Options. So let's get right...

There is a lot of noise being made this week about potential divergences in U.S. Stock markets. The one thing that gets lost in the shuffle is that just because asset A is rising and asset B is not keeping up, that asset A needs to correct and come...

Small and mid-caps have been hit hard since late August, so rather than look for short opportunities after a large move, we're looking for potential counter-trend trades on the long side. Today's candidate is PTC India.

I have to give credit to our Intermarket Analysis work for a lot of our success over the years. This "Cross-Asset" perspective is incredibly valuable, particularly when it comes to identifying and staying with important trends. As a supplement to our...

We're always focused on positioning. Stocks don't go up because of some article written by a 26 year old journalist who has never made a trade in her life. Stocks move based on positioning from institutions. When the market is caught leaning the wrong...

The Island Reversal is a rare but important pattern that has shown up across many of India's Major Indexes this month. As a result, I want to use this post as an educational opportunity to highlight what this pattern is, as well as explain how we're...

There are tiny little irrelevant markets everywhere like Pot stocks and Crypto Currency. These could disappear tomorrow and it won't matter. The sovereign wealth funds, hedge funds and other monster institutions that make markets move have to be in...

I started taking wine a little more seriously over the past couple of years. It's been fun to learn about different varietals and the countries that grow them best. The geography is really interesting and it's fun to go visit places like Tuscany and...

It feels good to be back in California. I just spent the past week in Texas, and before that I was in Toronto and Philly. I won't be leaving the west coast for a few months and I couldn't be more thrilled about it. I like it here.
