We want to look at the broad market and treat every single stock market index as a tiny piece of a much bigger puzzle. The Dow Jones Transportation Average has been a great leading indicator for stocks as an asset class over the past few years and we continue to want to treat it that way. Remember, the Transports peaked at the end of 2014, 6 months before the S&P500 and this year the Dow Transports bottomed out in January, well before the S&P500 and the other major indexes bottomed out in February. So now what? [Read more…]
[Chart Of The Week] Why Are Financials Breaking Out?
When you talk about the most important sectors in the stock market, financials certainly have to be near the top of the list. Technology is the largest sector in the S&P500 by market capitalization, but bull markets need participation out of Financials.

Why The Dow Jones Industrial Average Is Underrated
There is a constant conversation among market participants about which indexes are the better representation of the stock market, particularly in the United States. While the media often quotes the Dow Jones Industrial Average daily changes, professionals tend to steer towards the S&P500. The argument normally revolves around the price-weighted nature of the Dow Jones Industrial Average vs the market-cap driven S&P500. The diversity of 500 stocks in the S&P is also a key point when compared to just 30 stocks for the Dow.
Today I want to talk about why I think the Dow Jones Industrial Average is underrated and why I think it is one of the most useful indexes for any stock market participant. [Read more…]
[Premium] Members-Only Conference Call Wednesday August 17 at 7PM ET
Every month I host a conference call for All Star Charts Members where we discuss ongoing themes throughout the global marketplace as well as changes in trends where new positions would be most appropriate. This includes U.S. Stocks & Sectors, International Stock Indexes, Commodities, Currencies and Interest Rate Markets.
