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.

Like we discussed last week, Equity Markets are becoming more of a mixed bag, but there are still plenty of strong areas we want to be betting on.

We're back above the risk levels we've outlined in recent weeks for most major indexes and we believe the resumption in relative strength from former leadership groups such as the Nasdaq, Tech, and Growth has given us a heads up that the recent correction low is in.

We packed our latest Under the Hood report with several choice setups displaying strong relative strength, beautiful bases, and even a couple of names making bullish moves at key risk levels. There were a ton of potential long setups with risk skewed to the upside on this week's list. 

The only problem with this is that the direction of the underlying market was (and frankly, still is) largely in question.

Today, the broader market followed through with strong gains to the upside, supporting our view that a tradeable low has been made.

With this as our backdrop, we want to share three more setups from our most recent "Under The Hood" list as additional vehicles to express our thesis more aggressively on the long side.

Here's the table from this past week's report.

Welcome to our "Under The Hood" column for the week ended September 25, 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.

Something we've been working on internally this year is using various bottoms-up tools and scans to complement our top-down approach. One way we’re doing this is by identifying 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 and into mid-cap status (over $2B) then they enter our radar.

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 – from the likes of Priceline, Amazon, Netflix, and Salesforce, to a myriad of others… they all would have been on this list at some point.

When you look at the stocks in our table you will notice we are only focused on technology and growth industry groups such as Software, Semiconductors, Online Retail, Solar, and more.

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.

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.

Something we discuss a lot, especially internally, is what we refer to as "New Dow Theory."

It's merely the idea that instead of looking at Dow Transports $DJT as the confirming average for Dow Industrials (or the broader market), we should be looking at the Semiconductors index $SOX.

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.
