The Minor Leaguers (05-24-2021)
From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza
Welcome to our latest Minor Leaguers report.
We’ve already had some great trades come out of this Small-Cap focused column since we launched it late last year and began rotating it with our flagship bottoms-up scan, “Under The Hood.“
To make the cut for our Minor Leagues list, a company must have a market cap between $1 and $2B. After applying price and liquidity filters, we simply sort by proximity to new highs in order to focus on the best players.
The goal is to catch the strongest names while they’re small and still have serious upside potential. If any of these stocks ever climb the ranks to the big leagues, the returns could be huge. We’re looking at 5-10x moves just to break into large-cap land!
And what better time than now to launch a small-cap-focused column? We’ve seen robust evidence of structural rotation down the market cap scale, suggesting a new period of outperformance from small-caps in the coming months and quarters… Maybe even years.
Minor Leaguers is a great way to take advantage of that trend.
Let’s dive in and check out this week’s list of the hottest stocks in the Minor Leagues.
[Options Premium] Mining a Bellwether
Strength in energy and metals continues.
The ASC team had a post out last week highlighting some bullish developments here, and the strength continues in early trading this week. And one stock, in particular, is threatening new all-time highs coupled with declining options prices — my favorite kind of setup.
Commodities Weekly: Is Gold Ready to Shine Again?
From the desk of Steven Strazza @Sstrazza and Ian Culley @Ianculley
Gold has been one of the last places we have wanted to put our money over the past eight months, second only to Bonds.
Other areas of the commodities space, like Base Metals, Energy, and Ags, along with risk assets in general have experienced an explosive rally. While Precious Metals have gone nowhere. But are we starting to see signs that this could be changing?
Last week we pointed out that Lumber had reached our target and could be due for a pullback. And we’re seeing that play out.
The previous week we noted that other procyclical commodities within the Base Metals group were also reaching our targets and testing areas of potential resistance. And like Lumber and so many other risk-assets, they remain trapped below key levels of overhead supply.
So while much of these former leaders appear to be entering corrective periods, or sideways trends, we’re looking to put our money to work in areas that are trending… And one of those places within the commodities complex that has our attention is Gold and its shiny peers.
When we consider the recent outperformance from defensive areas within other asset classes, it would certainly make sense to see precious metals take the driver’s seat here.
In today’s post, we’re going to examine the following question: After a year of consolidation, is it finally time for Gold to shine? [Read more…]
[Options Premium] Cruising For Gains
I’ll be honest with you. I’ve been on cruises before. I don’t think I have a need to ever do them again. I mean, the time spent “in port” was where the real fun for me was. Time trapped on the boat? Meh.
But, I know many people disagree with me and LOVE going on cruises.
I’m fine with that. Especially if it gives me an opportunity to make some money. And we’ve got one such opportunity on board!
[Video] “Banks Are Walking Dead” | My Conversation w/ Howard Lindzon
It’s always nice to sit down and talk about what the future is going to look like.
Currently, the largest hotel chain in the world doesn’t own any hotels (Airbnb). The largest taxi cab company in the world doesn’t own any taxi cabs (Uber).
Will the largest bank in the world not own any banks? Howard Lindzon says yes, “Banks aren’t dead, they’re walking dead”.
This was fun. I learned a lot.
It gives me more reason to keep an eye on opportunities in the Crypto Markets.
I’m a chart guy, as you’re all well aware. Price drives all of my decision making. But if you’re interested in what’s happening behind the scenes (I am), then this one is for you! [Read more…]
Mystery Chart (05-21-2021)
From the desk of Steven Strazza @Sstrazza and Ian Culley @IanCulley
Check out our latest Mystery Chart!
What we do here is take a chart that’s captured our attention, and remove the x and y-axes as well as any other labels that could help identify it.
This chart can be of any security, in any asset class, on any timeframe. Sometimes it’s an absolute price chart, other times it’s on a relative basis.
It might be a ratio, a custom index, or maybe the price is inverted. It could be all three!
The point is, when we aren’t able to recognize what’s in front of us, we put aside any biases we may have and scrutinize the price behavior objectively.
While you can try to guess the chart, the point is to make a decision…
So let us know what it is… Buy, Sell, or Do Nothing?
Crypto Crashes. Now What?
From the desk of Louis Sykes @haumicharts and Steve Strazza @sstrazza
The Crypto space just experienced its worst day since the height of the Covid crash.
Bitcoin was down over 30% on an intraday basis, while Ethereum was almost cut in half.
We see this recent action aligning Crypto with what’s taking place throughout the market. Bulls have had a more challenging time in recent months, and risk assets are coming under increasing pressure.
Speaking to this topic, here’s what we outlined in a note earlier this week:
One more chart that I think is interesting is the Bitcoin / Gold ratio hitting it’s upside objective and reversing hard.
How many people are telling you to sell Bitcoin to buy Gold?
I don’t hear any at all….
If we’re below 36:1 in the ratio between Bitcoin and Gold, then we prefer Gold.
Of course, we had no idea a 30% crash was on the horizon… The conditions simply warranted owning defensive assets like Gold over Bitcoin. And this is something we’ve been seeing across asset classes all over the globe.
Long story short, the writing was on the wall – and after such a great run, it’s only normal to see some corrective action.
