At the beginning of each week, we publish performance tables for a variety of different asset classes and categories along with commentary on each.
Looking at the past helps put the future into context. In this post, we review the relative strength trends at play and preview some of the things we're watching in order to profit in the weeks and months ahead.
Our last RPP report took a deep look at the damage endured by the most important assets in the world during the recent selloff.
We held this report back a few days this week because the S&P just broke beneath our risk level and was in correction territory, down roughly 10% from its highs intraday on Monday. We wanted to see how things would shake out, and we're glad we did. Let's talk about it.
Welcome to our "Under The Hood" column for the week ended September 18, 2020.
What we do is analyze the most popular stocks during the week and find opportunities to either join in and ride these momentum names higher, or fade the crowd and bet against them.
We use a variety of sources to generate the list of most popular names. There are so many new data sources available that all we need to do is organize and curate them in a way that shows us exactly what we want: A list of stocks that are seeing an unusual increase in investor interest.
Whether we're measuring increasing interest based on large institutional purchases, unusual options activity, or simply our proprietary lists of trending tickers... there is a lot of overlap.
The bottom line is there are a million ways to skin this cat. Relying on our entire arsenal of data makes us confident that we're producing the best list each week and gives us more optionality in terms of finding the most favorable trade setups for our clients.
In yesterday's Members-Only Conference Call, we outlined our view on Precious Metals and provided several new trade ideas in the space.
All of the Miners we looked at were US-listed, so today I want to look to those listed on the TSX to outline which have the best reward/risk at current levels.
The reasoning behind this is simple, and we won't get too far into it. The bottom line is that as the US has shifted from a Manufacturing to Services Economy, the methods used to transport modern-day goods and services are very different than they were almost a century ago when Dow Theory was first introduced.

Our last RPP report took a high-level look at the initial damage endured by the recent selloff.
This past week, we saw follow through on that weakness. That means we’ve got to take a deeper look at how the most important assets in the world have held up.
For the first time off the March lows, we’re starting to see a change in character in the way that the market corrects. Particularly Equity Markets, so that will be our focus this week.

Last week, we followed up on some of the charts we recently cautioned were approaching overhead supply to see how they reacted to these critical levels.
Since we experienced a bit of a selloff on Thursday and Friday, this week we’re going to keep it simple and take a high-level look at some of the most important assets in the world and assess any damage that was endured...
Welcome to this week's edition of "Under The Hood."

What's the bear case for equities if Financials start to outperform for the first time in, what feels like, forever?
A funny thing happened this week. The Nasdaq, as well as some of the major Large-Cap US Indexes, were under pressure for a couple of days. But did you realize which which sector was the best performer during that selling?
Financials.
Wait, what? Relative strength in Financials?
Looking at this a little deeper, if Financials were ever going to start to outperform, this would be a perfectly logical place for that to start. In fact, this is exactly where they started to outperform after the Financial crisis:
Energy stocks and Crude Oil have been trending in opposite directions over the trailing three months.
We know these kinds of intermarket relationships can dislocate for extended periods of time, but some recent developments in the space have us thinking it may be time for this divergence to correct itself... and it's likely to come in the form of Crude catching down as opposed to stocks catching up.
In this post, we'll reveal this week's Mystery Chart and discuss what the recent action in Oil could mean for Energy stocks in the weeks/months ahead.
