Consumer Discretionaries have been a great indicator of market strength for a long time. This has been the best performing sector off the 2009 lows by a long shot, nearly doubling the performance of Tech, which has also been a monster. Discretionaries broke out to new highs in early 2012, well before the S&P500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average. With this sector breaking out to new all-time highs last month, it’s hard to be bearish stocks. [Read more…]

Monthly Charts Are Out! Here’s What’s Going On
Next week I will be sending out our Q3 playbook. Email me if you’re not already a Premium Member. There are so many interesting things happening right now that I think there will be plenty of opportunities to make money next quarter, despite it supposedly being a slower time of the year.
When months close at 4PM ET, I can’t help myself but hit those monthly charts right away. I am very disciplined about never looking at them before the month is completed. You get into bad habits like that. So I look forward to the monthly candlesticks being done:
Let’s get right into it: [Read more…]
[Options Premium] When the Ducks are quackin’…
…FEED them.
Continuing with a theme that emerged for us this week, we’re taking recent volatility climbs as a gift to help us get through a typically slow summer trading period.

I feel like the recent minor skirmishes in U.S. stocks over the past week have been a nice little gift for premium sellers heading into what is a traditionally the slowest period of the calendar year. With the Independence Day holiday on the horizon, it’s looking to me like a great time to start selling some premium in the indexes.
