Our Hall of Famers list is composed of the 150 largest US-based stocks.

These stocks range from the mega-cap growth behemoths like Apple and Microsoft – with market caps in excess of $2T – to some of the new-age large-cap disruptors such as Moderna, Square, and Snap.

It has all the big names and more.

It doesn’t include ADRs or any stock not domiciled in the US. But don’t worry; we developed a separate universe for that. Click here to check it out.

The Hall of Famers is simple.

We take our list of 150 names and then apply our technical filters so the strongest stocks with the most momentum rise to the top.

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

Here’s this week’s list:

We filter out any laggards that are down -5% or more relative to the S&P 500 over the trailing month.

I started at the top last week, laying out my bullish energy thesis with five charts.

Energy commodities are reclaiming critical levels. They’re outperforming their alternatives. And buyers continue to support a healthy demand for crude oil distillates.

What’s not to like?

Today, I’m drilling down to individual stocks, highlighting five trade setups I didn’t cover in last Wednesday’s What the FICC episode…

And these stocks look ready to rip!

First up is oil services. I like this group of stocks because the oil services ETFs $OIH and $XES are the strongest among industry groups.

Here’s Schlumberger LTD. $SLB, the $81B behemoth:

We highlighted SLB in early January in our Hall of Famers column. It's carved out a six-month base below our risk level since.

It was a nice Friday overall.

It's like yesterday never happened.

I love the base resolution underway in $IBKR and we've got a "hundred-dollar roll" lurking within spitting distance.

A break above $91 would mean fresh all-time highs and coupled with low implied volatility priced into calls options, this sets up my favorite kind of trade.

Let's get after it!

Here's the Play:

The next new position in our Paid-to-Play portfolio is:

The only insider transaction on today’s list comes in a Form 4 filing by Robert W. Stallings, director of Texas Capital Bancshares $TCBI.

Stallings reported a purchase of TCBI shares worth $123,960.

We have some important economic data coming out this morning.

The market did an about-face turn yesterday and drifted lower.

We'll see if they want to keep everyone happy on a Friday and push the market higher.

FOMC meeting?

No worry, beef curry!

The markets barely flinched after the Fed raised interest rates – again. 

Honestly, I didn’t tune in to the press conference. I prefer to focus on the tape.

So you won’t get a rundown of Jerome Powell’s forward guidance, or lack thereof, from me.

I can only relay the information provided by the market.  

Obviously, the rising-rate environment remains intact amid sustained inflationary pressures – “higher for longer.”

We can all agree on that.

The true value from Wednesday’s events resides beneath the headlines…

Investors are adjusting to a new rising-rate regime as they accept the unavoidable: inflation.

The US 10-year breakeven inflation rate is shaping up as a potential “not a top” formation:

I’ve noticed similar patterns across stocks and commodities, especially cyclical value-oriented market areas.

It makes sense. The Fed has yet to emerge as the victor.

And the 10-year...

That was a big bounce this morning for the indices...

And then we faded, and gaps are getting filled to the downside.

We all know the market is in need of a breather, but it will do what it wants to do. I did miss some of my own trades today, but traders in the Live Trading Room captured them.

This is the $TGT trade I flubbed. I bought it, I wasn't patient, it ran to my price target, then I bought it back. I told the Live Trading Room it has room to 138!

Today I closed out the $HES shares that I've owned since January. I've bought it and sold it many times throughout the past six months. I can't list all the buys and sells.

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.

We're going where the "juice" is.

Chatting with Strazza while looking through charts on the plane home from Tokyo today, he said this:

I would do something in the commodity stock world. Think they are about to catch some of that bull market rotation. They all got the juice too.

I couldn't agree more.
