Multi-decade Breakout? Or Another False Start?
Today we’re taking a look at an index that often gets ignored. The Value Line Geometric Index is currently flirting with a multi-decade breakout. This is an equally weighted index using a geometric average, so the daily change is closest to the median stock price change. It’s a much broader measure of the market vs something like the Dow Jones Industrial Average. [Read more…]

[Options] Positions with September Expirations Review
It’s that time of the cycle where we begin to evaluate our open positions that are soon expiring. We had a number of September expiration trades that have already closed — either because their profit target was achieved ($XLB $XLE) or their stop loss level was violated ($AVGO $CSX $HFC $XLY), but we still have four open positions that require our attention as the calendar transitions to September.
We’ll talk more about these in our upcoming monthly All Star Options conference call, but I’ll give you a head start on our current thinking here: [Read more…]
The One “Technology” Subsector Not Working
From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting
Tuesday’s Mystery Chart is one of my favorite charts right now, so thank you all for your feedback and participation.
Everyone was on the same page here, waiting for a resolution before getting involved. Sometimes nothing is the best answer, that’s why it’s one of the choices.
With that as our backdrop, let’s get into it.
[Premium] Going Shopping In The Retail Sector
From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting
Retail ETF XRT is at an interesting level, so in this post we’re gonna take a look at its chart and what the internals are suggesting for the sector in the weeks/months ahead.
Checking In On The Underperformers
This could be a major top in the US Stock Market. It could be a historic top like 2007 or 1929, maybe even 1987. This is certainly a possible outcome.
Something else to consider is that betting on these outcomes is rarely a profitable endeavor. They make movies about the heroes who bet heavily on the financial collapse of 2008 and made fortunes. We talk about these fund managers like legends. What they don’t make movies about are the infinite number of investors over the years who have bet on such outcomes, and were wrong instead. I guess Hollywood doesn’t think those stories will sell.
I understand the bearish thesis for US Stocks. In fact, we always take the other side of our opinions and try to poke wholes in a given theme. We’ve been in the camp that since most stocks have gone down to sideways over the past 19 months, this is a classic cyclical bear market. It has gone on through both price and time, not just one of the two. I don’t care how you slice it, this was a bear market, and possibly still is.
Now, whenever in doubt, zoom out right? I think we can agree that the rallies of 2016 and 2017 deserved a rest. So the question is whether this “rest”, or digestion of gains, if you will, is a distributive top that will lead to a much more substantial decline? Or is this a consolidation within an ongoing uptrend that we can argue began in early 2016 and, even longer-term, the 2009 lows.
Yes recession, and yield curves and the fed and trump and all that. Yes I know. We’re going to focus on price, however, to figure out what’s going on. [Read more…]
