This is the video recording of September 10th 2021 Weekly Jam Session with Sean McLaughlin.
[Options Premium] Exchange Value
The big indexes offered us a little pullback this week which has been helping us identify the true standouts — the stocks that are holding up best in a down tape. We’re all about relative strength at All Star Charts as it is one of the most reliable indicators for us. And true leaders really identify themselves when they are swimming against the current while markets are sliding.
So on days and weeks like this, we’re paying very close attention to the strongest sectors and keying in on the strongest stocks to see how they react.
Today, one those names is in the Capital Markets space where we’re seen tremendous strength this year.
Is It Time To Buy Small-Cap Tech?
From the desk of Steven Strazza @Sstrazza and Ian Culley @Ianculley
Thanks to everyone who participated in last week’s Mystery Chart.
We questioned whether this consolidation would resolve in the direction of the primary downtrend–in which case we would expect a break lower.
Or maybe buyers would step in and defend those former lows once again.
Despite the lack of bearish momentum readings, many of you wanted to sell on a break below support, citing the primary trend as a major deciding factor.
And that’s basically where our heads were, too, as it’s always easier to go with the trend.
So what are we selling? Or should I say… buying?
Defensive Stocks Stop Going Down
From the desk of Steven Strazza @Sstrazza and Grant Hawkridge @granthawkridg
Money really likes to flow where it’s treated the best… and as far as sectors and even most industry groups go, there simply isn’t much alpha out there at the moment.
In analyzing relative trends, we’re always aware of how the overall stock market is performing against defensive assets.
In today’s post, we’re going to check in on those sectors investors pile into when seeking safety as opposed to positioning for risk.
Utilities, Real Estate, and Staples… the “bond proxy” groups. Let’s dive in.
Young Aristocrats (September 2021)
From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza
Dividend Aristocrats are easily some of the most desirable investments on Wall Street. These are the names that have increased dividends for at least 25 years, providing steadily increasing income to long-term-minded shareholders.
As you can imagine, the companies making up this prestigious list are some of the most recognizable brands in the world. Coca-Cola, Walmart, and Johnson & Johnson are just a few of the household names making the cut.
Here at All Star Charts, we like to stay ahead of the curve. That’s why we’re turning our attention to the future aristocrats. In an effort to seek out the next generation of the cream-of-the-crop dividend plays, we’re curating a list of stocks that have raised their payouts every year for five to nine years.
We call them the Young Aristocrats, and the idea is that these are “stocks that pay you to make money.” Imagine if years of consistent dividend growth and high momentum & relative strength had a baby, leaving you with the best of the emerging dividend giants that are outperforming the averages.
By adding our technical analysis to the mix, the Young Aristocrat setups give you the opportunity to own the best of the market’s future blue-chip winners before they become must-own household names.
Oftentimes, the strongest performers in this universe and even the Aristocrats themselves pay relatively small dividends. This is usually because the stock appreciation makes it tough to keep up with the payout–even for companies that consistently grow their yield in the double-digits! For this reason, we don’t have a minimum threshold for the dividend. What we’re really doing here is creating a list of quality stocks based on their ability to persistently grow their shareholder return.
And maybe the best part? This list is not just designed for long-term investors. Any kind of investor or trader can use this list as it helps generate ideas across all timeframes, even the short term. Remember, some of the most important filters we use for this list are momentum, relative strength, and proximity to new highs.
So let’s keep it real, these stocks are going up across all time horizons.
Reminders From Crypto’s Crash
Watching some of these cryptos, you wouldn’t even know Bitcoin just got a 15% haircut after $4B worth of positions were steamrolled.
Take a look at Solana…
We thought that this extension target, particularly in the face of the recent action, would act as a logical level to consolidate these gains. But, buyers have continued their charge.
When the market completely ignores these extensions, that’s information…
[Video] Options Trade of the Week w/ Sean & JC | $BSX Nov/Mar 50-strike Call Calendar spread
On September 8th, Sean and JC hopped on a Twitter Live Stream to discuss a recent trade idea for All Star Charts Options Members.
Here’s the play:
“I like a $BSX Nov/Mar 50-strike Call Calendar spread for a $1.15 debit or cheaper. This means I’ll be long the March 50 calls and short an equal amount of November 50 calls for a net debit which represents the most I can lose in this trade if it short-circuits on us.”

September Strategy Session: 3 Key Takeaways
From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza and Ian Culley @Ianculley
We held our September Monthly Strategy Session last night. Premium Members can access and rewatch it here.
Non-members can get a quick recap of the call simply by reading this post each month.
By focusing on long-term, monthly charts, the idea is to take a step back and put things into the context of their structural trends. This is easily one of our most valuable exercises as it forces us to put aside the day-to-day noise and simply examine markets from a “big-picture” point of view.
With that as our backdrop, let’s dive right in and discuss three of the most important charts and/or themes from this month’s call.
