All Star Interviews Season 2, Episode 4: Todd Gordon from TradingAnalysis.com
This week I’m thrilled to have my pal Todd Gordon on the show. He is what I like to call an “Elliottician”, meaning he approaches the market using the Wave principle developed by Ralph Nelson Elliott throughout the 1930s. Todd Gordon, of TradingAnalysis.com walks us through his wave counts for the S&P500, Gold, and Semiconductors. In this episode, I think we demystify and answer some of the questions we all have about Elliott Wave and its practicality. I encourage you to have the charts with you when you listen to this one because Todd goes over several Elliott Wave counts that will make a lot more sense if you’re following along visually. He does a good job of explaining things so you can also go back and listen again with the charts in the future. I hope you enjoy this one. I really did! [Read more…]

This Week Is The 7th Inning Stretch
The Baseball-almanac calls the 7th Inning Stretch, “Perhaps the most mundane, yet physically rewarding moment of every baseball game”. Over time, I’ve learned to respect this time of the stock market calendar year in a similar manner. The timing of it is very close too, as we approach about 2/3 of the way through the game, or year in this case.
I’ve found that it’s a great time to reflect on the decisions we’ve made so far in 2018 and mentally prepare for the rest of the year. This period I’m referring to specifically is the week before Labor Day weekend and the week after. Things historically get back to normal around September 10th-11th. [Read more…]
BNN Bloomberg Interview: This Bull Market Is Just Starting!
This week I had the chance to visit Toronto for the first time. I spent a couple of days meeting with investors, doing a TV spot and taking in some of the things Canada has to offer.
I was invited to speak at the Toronto CFA Society to talk about my Technical Analysis. It was an event put on by the Canadian Society of Technical Analysts and the CMT Association. The crowd was great, interested in charts and eager to learn. Everyone was so nice.
While in Toronto, I caught a Blue Jays game (they beat the Orioles 6-0) and ate too much sushi. All in all, mission accomplished!
Before the event on Thursday I went by the BNN Bloomberg studios for a TV interview with Catherine Murray. It was a lot of fun.
Here’s the video: [Read more…]
US Stock Market Breadth Continues To Drive Stocks Higher
My favorite one lately is when the bears tell people that US Stock Market Breadth is deteriorating. It’s hilarious.
Their sorry excuse for a thesis has them suggesting that there are fewer stocks participating to the upside in the U.S. Stock Market, when nothing could be further from the truth. I’ve been pounding the table that we continue to see an expansion in participation, which is characteristic of an uptrend and we have wanted to be buying stocks very very aggressively. That has worked out well. See here, here, here, here, here, here and here.
The reason I keep bringing up breadth expansion, not contraction, is because it’s my job to constantly be reevaluating the data as it comes in. It’s incomprehensible to me that someone could think that breadth is deteriorating. What the hell are they looking at? [Read more…]
Money Game Podcast (EP.2) We Are More Motivated By Our Fears Than By Our Aspirations
This is only the second episode of The Money Game Podcast that I’ve recorded with Phil and I’m already learning a ton. The idea behind these conversations is to help make us more aware of our bad habits driven by our cognitive behavior flaws. In this episode, Phil and I talk about Loss Aversion and the fact that as investors, and in life, we are motivated more by our fears than we are by our potential to win. This is an incredibly complicated topic so I think it’s important to start this conversation early in this Money Game Podcast series.
Here is the second episode in full: [Read more…]
Tesla Is Not Just A Story, It’s A Beautiful Chart!
I live in a funny world where I can just write some things on my phone or computer and people all over the world begin commenting on it. These conversations can last for months, even years. Those who know me understand that I try to do my very best everyday to look at the market as nothing but letters and math. It shouldn’t matter whether we’re long Apple or short soybean futures.
Some assets strike a cord with people and make them feel differently. There is usually a popular figure involved or hot product and sometimes even conspiracy theories. It’s fascinating to watch. Gold is definitely one of those. The crazies come out whenever you mention gold, bull or bear doesn’t matter. Natural Gas used to be like that 12-15 years ago, but not since it lost 90% of its value over the past decade. This one is the bitcoin of energy.
Over the years, things like Apple and Tesla have had some cult followings in their stocks too. But most recently it’s been $TSLA and the fact that they get to gossip about elon musk to get them away from writing about trump every day. Everyone wins. I saw an opportunity about two and a half months ago to purchase shares of $TSLA after the completion of, what I felt, was a failed breakdown, which in my experience often leads to very fast rallies in the opposite direction.
