I own a 2015 model vehicle and I plan on driving this car until it crawls. I'm not interested in being in the rat-race of always having the sexy latest model car with the equally unsexy monthly car payments. Been there, done that. No longer interests me. I'd rather just keep my current ride on the road as long as I can.
It appears I'm not alone in this as companies that sell spare car parts are seeing their stocks perform very well.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average just went out at new All-time weekly closing highs. The way I learned it was that, "We Don't Want To Fight Papa Dow".
One thing we know for sure about new All-time highs is that they are NOT a characteristic of a downtrend. When you go back and find all the best downtrends ever, you're not going to find many new all-time highs in those trends. In fact, you won't find any.
And as a public service announcement, if you're one of those people who approaches life with the mentally that all downtrends start with new all-time highs, please unsubscribe. You're clearly not listening to anything I'm saying and it's probably just better that you go away.
For the rest of you who finished 3rd grade math class successfully, here's the chart of the Dow Jones Industrial Average making new all-time highs:
Welcome to our "Under The Hood" column for the week ending November 13, 2020.
What we do is analyze the most popular stocks during the week and find opportunities to either join in and ride these momentum names higher, or fade the crowd and bet against them.
We use a variety of sources to generate the list of most popular names. There are so many new data sources available that all we need to do is organize and curate them in a way that shows us exactly what we want: A list of stocks that are seeing an unusual increase in investor interest.
Whether we're measuring increasing interest based on large institutional purchases, unusual options activity, or simply our proprietary lists of trending tickers... there is a lot of overlap.
The bottom line is there are a million ways to skin this cat. Relying on our entire arsenal of data makes us confident that we're producing the best list each week and gives us more optionality in terms of finding the most favorable trade setups for our clients.
We retired our "Five Bull Market Barometers" in mid-July to make room for a new weekly post that's focused on the three most important charts for the week ahead.
This is that post, so let's jump into this week's edition.
Over the years, Diwali has become one of my favorite Indian festivals!
As I've come to understand it, Diwali symbolizes the spiritual victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. Those are all things I can get behind.
So from all of us here at Allstarcharts, may the candlesticks illuminate your charts for another year!
It's been a homerun since showing all that relative strength back in February and March. It was even part of our Coronavirus Index. But I think it's now time for another leg higher to get going.
If $DPZ is above 370, we want to be long with a target up near 600. You can find our analysis on the space here.
Here's my attempt at Fundamental Analysis on Domino's. How'd I do?
These are the registration details for our live monthly conference call for Premium Members of All Star Charts.

The Top/Down approach to markets is at the core of what we do at All Star Charts. That means starting at the asset class level and peeling back each layer to refine our view of the smaller components that make up that asset class. With each new layer, we discover information that helps us form our weight of the evidence conclusion.
That brings us to our weekly column, The Top/Down Take, where we hope to educate readers on how we execute this process and highlight its value through the analysis of popular stocks.
The ASC research time has been hitting the bong for some deep thinking and far out trade ideas. Tom Bruni published this piece on opportunities hidden behind a cloud of smoke in the marijuana stocks space.
One pretty speculative idea stood out to me which we'll be taking a hit off today.
Before we start, just want to give a big h/t to our intern @GrantHawkridge for helping out bigly with this research and post.
Some might even call this post a...JOINT venture.
We'll be here all week.
Now, let's get into the charts.
First, let us start at the industry level with the Alternative Harvest ETF (MJ). There is nothing bullish about this chart and made no progress in 2020. Prices have re-tested resistance multiple times, however, each time sellers came in and defended that level.
For now, the benefit of the doubt goes to the bears as this is a sideways trend at best, at least until prices can get above this 15-16 range.
