You often hear people call it, “Dr. Copper”. They say the metal has a Ph.D. in economics because of its ability to predict turning points in the global economy. I’m not sure about all that, but I do see a strong correlation between it and Emerging Market stocks. Today we’re taking a look at these two assets and why Copper’s next move is likely to coincide with the direction of Emerging Market stocks.

[Premium] An Inside Look At Momentum In This Market
When I get asked about what I think the most important technical indicators are, I have to start with price. This is where it all begins and ends. Everything else is just a derivative of price. Let’s not forget that. We can use all sorts of other things to help supplement that price analysis, but only if we understand that is all they are, supplements.
After price, for me it’s momentum and relative strength that we’re looking for. We want to be in stocks outperforming other stocks and showing positive momentum. Why mess around with stocks showing weakness and not showing bullish momentum? That makes little sense. Today we are going to focus on the areas showing the most relative strength and momentum, how to profit from it, and what that means for the overall market. [Read more…]
The Island Reversal That Will Now Be A Problem
It’s funny, some friends of mine a few weeks ago were asking me about Island Reversals. Apparently they were arguing about whether a breakout in some stock was sparked by an island reversal or not. I came to the conclusion that they were both wrong, but I appreciated their interest in this rare pattern. The point I tried to make to them was that it wasn’t so much about what it’s called, but more about its implications. And they had the implications right, which is all that mattered.
I don’t see too many of these things, but this week we got a classic example of the ever so elusive “Island Reversal”. [Read more…]

It’s Time For Emerging Market Stocks To Make A Move
It’s hard to ignore the strength we’re seeing in some of these emerging markets. When stocks are selling off, I like to look around and see who is still holding up well. We call that “relative strength”. Every day I get to speak with traders at the largest financial institutions in the world. They laugh because when everyone is selling, they get to sit there pressing buy buttons and fill their humongous orders that need to get done while they are accumulating a position.
Remember that institutions who manage $10, $20 – $50 Billion have to buy millions of shares of a stock just to have a small position relative to the overall size of their giant portfolios. It takes time to fill an order: days, weeks or even months. Retail investors can just press one button and get an entire fill whenever they want. Since institutions can’t, we get to see it happening if we look close enough. When stocks are selling off, those still staying green and holding up is evidence of buy side accumulation.
Today I want to talk about some of the emerging markets out there where we’re seeing relative strength. It’s impossible for me as responsible market participant to ignore what is happening in this space. Also, you guys count on me to put in the work and point out what stands out. [Read more…]
