[Video] What the FICC?: Dollar Down, Stocks Up

January 19, 2023

It's the weekly currency edition of What the FICC?

The US dollar index $DXY registered a "death cross" last week, confirming a bearish trend reversal.

But it's not the confirmation of the dollar downtrend that has my attention. It's what the signal suggests for stocks in the coming months and quarters.

Check it out!

2 to 100 Club (01-18-2023)

January 18, 2023

From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza

Welcome to the 2 to 100 Club.

As many of you know, something we've been working on internally is using various bottom-up tools and scans to complement our top-down approach. It's really been working for us!

One way we're doing this is by identifying the strongest growth stocks as they climb the market-cap ladder from small- to mid- to large- and, ultimately, to mega-cap status (over $200B).

Once they graduate from small-cap to mid-cap status (over $2B), they come on our radar. Likewise, when they surpass the roughly $30B mark, they roll off our list.

But the scan doesn't just end there.

We only want to look at the strongest growth industries in the market, as that is typically where these potential 50-baggers come from.

[PLUS] Dynamic Portfolio Management

From the desk of Willie Delwiche.

Dynamic Portfolio Update: With new highs outpacing new lows every day so far this year, our net new high A/D line has turned higher and moved our "Fear or Strength" tactical model into its bullish zone. We are following the model and increasing risk exposure in the Tactical Opportunity portfolio.

[Options] Healthy Tech

January 18, 2023

I'm about to show you what a healthy chart off the bear market lows looks like. One of the beautiful things about this chart is it's not heavily reliant on any one company.

This is a sector ETF for a corner of the stock market we believe should continue to do well for the foreseeable future. There will be winners and losers within the sector, and we don't know which ones will ultimately be the leaders, so why not just trade 'em all?

Additionally, trading the sector ETF significantly lessens any earnings-related or product announcement or FDA-approval-driven gap risk.

Why Stocks Bottomed Last June

January 18, 2023

This is a question I've been getting a lot.

"JC, how could you say we're already in the 8th Month of a new bull market???"

The things people call me over email or on twitter are not something I would repeat in front of my mother, or daughter, and certainly not in front of any of you guys.

But I'm a big boy. I spent a lot of time on trading floors, dugouts and locker rooms. I've heard way worse.

It is interesting, however, to observe the feedback I get from just some basic arithmetic.

This isn't like some random opinion I have about the economy, or Fed policy or earnings. This is just 3rd grade math.

Are more stocks going up? Are more stocks making new highs? Or are more stocks going down and making new lows?

Since June, the answer has been up and certainly not down.

Notice how the new lows list peaked in Q2. Even though some of the large-cap growth-heavy indexes made new lows later in the year, even for just a hot second, by that point there were almost no stocks left that were going down.

Taking a Tactical Look

January 18, 2023

We did it.

We've flipped the book long.

With Bitcoin $BTC and Ethereum $ETH reclaiming their prior-cycle highs, we even went as far as arguing that this recent move represents a structural regime shift for the asset class.

In our view, both the short and intermediate-term trends have now definitively shifted higher.

This comes within the context of a slew of risk-on developments in traditional markets.
