The largest insider buy on today’s list comes via Form 4 filings by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway.

Buffett and Berkshire revealed a total purchase of $294 million in The Liberty SiriusXM Group $LSXMA.

Small-caps are an interesting bunch.

When you add up the value of all the stocks in the Russell2000, it may as well be nothing.

There companies in the United States that alone are worth more than all 2000 companies combined.

I think it's important to put things in perspective.

These companies don't actually matter that much. Besides, they always kick out all their best players, by definition.

People are asking me if gold’s breakout is the real deal.

All I can do is smile, state my bullish outlook, and draw a line in the sand.

Of course, I can’t resist adding an obnoxious upside target or two (the higher, the better).

Hopefully, it sounds simple. That’s the goal! It never pays to overcomplicate price action…. 

If you’re still wondering whether precious metals are a viable investment despite gold’s new all-time highs, let’s identify the underlying trend…

The gold rally off the 2018 lows led to a multi-year consolidation that is now resolving higher — uptrend intact. 

Plus, what an impressive stick from gold last month:

Richard Wycoff would call last month’s candlestick a wide-bodied bar — an indication of willing buyers. It’s a significant sign of strength.

Gold futures rose 8.94%, closing near the March highs and solidifying its breakout.

If gold’s bullish candlestick, underlying uptrend, and new all-time highs fail to squash your lingering doubts, check out the gold miners…

The Gold Miners ETF $GDX also enjoyed quite the bid last month,...

Happy Easter weekend, everyone! I hope you're all enjoying some quality time away from screens, surrounded by loved ones.

These pauses remind us that amidst our trading and investing pursuits, the ultimate goal is to enhance our lives and the lives of those dear to us. It's about using our financial gains to bring happiness and wellbeing to ourselves and others.

Personally, I've been soaking up the joys of Hawkes Bay, New Zealand this weekend, reconnecting with my whanau (family), many of whom I haven't had the pleasure of seeing in quite some time.

Today, I want to provide a brief interim update on the price action we're seeing, and specifically discuss macro markets in the context of this upcoming halving.

Let's dive into it!

This is the weekly post that aggregates all the charts we put together throughout the week and organizes them all into one, easy to flip through deck.

Yes you read that right.

Dog Wif Hat is now worth over $4.6 Billion in market cap.

And to be clear, it is literally just "a dog wif a hat". There's nothing else to it. Check out the "white paper" for yourself.

Gold just went out at a new all-time high. That's over $2250 for an ounce of Gold. The most ever.

And it shouldn't be that surprising really. Gold has already been making all-time highs priced in other currencies like Euro, Pounds, Yen and Rupee, among many others.

Now Gold is making new all-time highs priced in US Dollars as well.

Notice how Gold and Copper don't move in different directions for too long historically.

This isn't just a Gold thing. This is a metals thing.

Our International Hall of Famers list is composed of the 100 largest US-listed international stocks, or ADRs.

We've also sprinkled in some of the largest ADRs from countries that did not make the market cap cut. 

These stocks range from some well-known mega-cap multinationals such as Toyota Motor and Royal Dutch Shell to some large-cap global disruptors such as Mercado Libre and Shopify.

It's got all the big names and more–but only those that are based outside the US. You can find all the largest US stocks on our original Hall of Famers list.

The beauty of these scans is really in their simplicity.

We take the largest names each week and then apply technical filters in a way that the strongest stocks with the most momentum rise to the top.

Based on the market environment, we can also flip the scan on its head and filter for weakness.

Let's dive in and take a look at some of the most important stocks from around the world.

Here's this week's list:

Black Gold is breaking out!

Crude oil is flipping weeks of indecision into conviction following a hard retest that frustrated traders earlier this month. 

Let’s take a look…

Check out crude’s upside resolution to fresh five-month highs:

Yesterday marked the completion of a tight bull flag – a typical characteristic of an uptrend.

The path of least resistance points higher toward our 95 target. 

However, I would be remiss not to mention momentum. The 14-day RSI has yet to register an overbought reading above 70. 

This isn’t an immediate concern. But if the crude oil rally does have legs, momentum will reach overbought conditions. In fact, the energy sector's recent performance is showing no signs of stress.

Welcome to The Junior International Hall of Famers.

With the goal of finding more bullish setups, we have decided to expand one of our favorite scans and broaden our regular coverage of the largest US-listed international stocks, or ADRs.

This scan is composed of the next 100 largest stocks by market cap, those that come after the top 100 and are thus covered by the International Hall of Famers universe.

Many of these names will someday graduate and join our original International Hall Of Famers list. The idea here is to catch these big trends as early on as possible.

Let's dive right in and check out what these future big boys are up to.

This is our Junior International Hall of Famers list:
