Our International Hall of Famers list is composed of the 100 largest US-listed international stocks, or ADRs.

We’ve also sprinkled in some of the largest ADRs from countries that did not make the market cap cut. 

These stocks range from some well-known mega-cap multinationals such as Toyota Motor and Royal Dutch Shell to some large-cap global disruptors such as Sea Ltd and Shopify.

It’s got all the big names and more--but only those that are based outside the US. You can find all the largest US stocks on our original Hall of Famers list.

The beauty of these scans is really in their simplicity.

We take the largest names each week and then apply technical filters in a way that the strongest stocks with the most momentum rise to the top.

Based on the market environment, we can also flip the scan on its head and filter for weakness.

Let’s dive in and take a look at some of the most important stocks from around the world.

Here’s this week’s list:

$SPY hit the 415 mark and then pulled in.

And then this market limped into the close.

Tech was weak once again, and this might be a continuing theme. 

The most significant insider transaction on today's list comes in a Form 4 filed by FedEx Corporation $FDX director Stephen E. Gorman.

Gorman reported a purchase of FDX stock worth $249,204.

Bank stocks are taking off this morning after some of their earnings releases, while tech stocks seem weak again.

It seems to be the theme of the week.

The market continues to shake off negative news as stocks react positively to incoming economic data and the Fed's actions.

Sure, banks are still a problem, and we need to watch them closely as earnings season kicks off.

But we can only give this price action from financials so much weight as the list of bullish developments in other areas continues to grow.

Overall, there are a lot more positives than negatives right now. And this proves true when we look through our universes, such as our Inside Scoop list.

We continue to see more and more bullish setups and stocks we want to buy come across our radar.

Let's talk about the latest now.

Today was quite a turnaround.

We went from a bearish pattern to right back on course!

It's been a choppy week.

The catalyst all along was the U.S. Dollar.

During this US Dollar decline over the past couple quarters, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq100 are each up over 15%.

These tremendous gains for stocks started once the journalists all agreed on how strong the Dollar was at the time.

You can see those implications here.

The most significant insider transaction on today's list comes in a Form 4 filed by Christopher M. Hilger, director at Donaldson Company $DCI.

Hilger reported a purchase of DCI stock worth $199,953.

$QQQ dropped yesterday to its 21-day moving average, and $SPY fell to its eight-day moving average at 407.50.

I was looking at $MRK yesterday in the live trading room, and I wish I bought it as it's up this morning.

Welcome to the 2 to 100 Club.

As many of you know, something we've been working on internally is using various bottom-up tools and scans to complement our top-down approach. It's really been working for us!

One way we're doing this is by identifying the strongest growth stocks as they climb the market-cap ladder from small- to mid- to large- and, ultimately, to mega-cap status (over $200B).

Once they graduate from small-cap to mid-cap status (over $2B), they come on our radar. Likewise, when they surpass the roughly $30B mark, they roll off our list.

But the scan doesn't just end there.

We only want to look at the strongest growth industries in the market, as that is typically where these potential 50-baggers come from.

Some of the best performers in recent decades – stocks like Priceline, Amazon, Netflix, Salesforce, and myriad others – would have been on this list at some point during their...

It's a very sloppy market.

Either we're digesting to head higher or we're going to head lower right here.

Recessionary fears run high.

Everyone is talking about an imminent economic downturn and the next stock market crash.

You hear it on the news and in the streets – talk of the banking crisis, the Fed, inflation, and China pervades the narrative. Even my doctor assured me the world is headed for dark times during a routine appointment earlier this week.

Bearish sentiment is obviously alive and well. 

But, as a chartist, I prefer to visualize these rumblings...
