The S&P 500 fell 1.5% on Monday and rebounded with a 1.5% gain on Tuesday. These were the 31st and 32nd daily moves of 1% or more so far in 2021. At this point last year, we had experienced 72 daily swings of 1% or more, the most we had seen by July in at least two decades. While 2021 has been a drop off from last year’s torrid pace, it’s nothing compared to what was seen in 2017 (which had just 4 moves of 1% in either direction at this point, and finished the year with just 8). What is amazing about 2021 is how closely it has matched the median experience of the past 20+ years. So far this has been a year that is remarkable in its unremarkableness.

So Steve Strazza hit me up yesterday with: "Have you seen our latest 2-to-100 Club report? All of those stocks are breaking out!"

When Strazza gets giddy about price action, I take notice. Of course, I had to pull it up and scan the list. And sure enough, every one of those names is moving in the right direction. Some already moved so quickly that I'm going to hold off for a better possible entry point. But one of those names just triggered yesterday and is giving us a well-timed pullback today for us to get positioned.

We debuted a new scan recently- The Outperformers.

The Outperformers is our newest scan that pinpoints the very best stocks in the market. It’s the fastest, easiest way to find quality names that are primed for major moves.

The goal is that as the market rally progresses, the sector rotation within the market will reflect in this scan. So while our Top/Down Analysis helps us with the broader view of the market, this Bottom/Up scan makes sure that we catch the slightest change in sentiment.

A revolution in energy is upon us.

Some like to call it the green revolution or the transition to renewable and alternative energy. How you want to label it isn’t what matters. 

All we care about is that the landscape for energy and how we use it is changing dramatically.

As the world quickly changes and the demand for energy expands, how we generate and utilize it, as well as the natural resources we rely upon to do so - will inevitably change, and adapt to this new environment.

Of course, we’ll continue to burn coal, crude oil, and natural gas for the foreseeable future. But there are other pockets of strength arising in areas that could very well be secular growth trends for decades into the future.

We’re always looking to identify these new arenas of growth. Here’s the way we see it...

With strong prospects for global growth and economic expansion in the cards, additional energy sources will need to be created so that supply can meet the growing demand being placed on an already antiquated and stressed infrastructure.

As usual, the...

I've personally been in the market for a new or used car for a few months now, and let's just say it hasn't been easy. The entire supply chain has been disrupted, and the market has been unable to keep up with demand.

I finally made the decision to stop my search until the supply crunch for semiconductors and other critical inputs alleviates. I could be waiting a while though, as this has already been going on for about a year. Thankfully, I live on an island that is only 8 square miles, so my bike or feet can take me wherever I need to go in the meantime.

According to a recent article from the Wall Street Journal:

Prices for both new and used cars are high. The surge is driven in part by the global chip shortage, which ...

It was a voicemail that any parent would dread…

Hello, this is the nurse from camp. Your son had an accident. He's fine but I need to talk to you… 

I quickly called back to get the details. I was on the road just a few minutes later, making a nighttime trip to a rural emergency room 100 miles away.  As it turns out, my son suffered a broken arm during a relatively run-of-the-mill game of chase that involved jumping across a small ditch and not quite sticking the landing. He was doing what we sent him to camp to do.    

A couple of hours alone in the car gave me plenty of time to think about all types of risks and how they are unevenly distributed across both space and time. Accidents can really happen anywhere. Still, we have nurses at summer camps, not in our living rooms. Broken arms and other more minor injuries are more likely at the former than the later.

What was once peanuts, the total market cap of this asset class achieved the $2T milestone at its peak earlier this year.

It's hard to believe, but there are literally several thousands of individual coins and tokens, and the list keeps growing every day.

Not only can we express our opinions in the coins themselves, but there's an expanding list of pure-play stocks, ETFs, and funds being offered to investors, too.

So today, we'll dive into some of these offerings, what sets them apart, and ultimately, how we're approaching these vehicles in the coming weeks and months.

Welcome to the 2 to 100 Club.

As many of you know, something we’ve been working on internally is using various 'bottoms-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 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.

Some of the best performers in recent decades – stocks like Priceline, Amazon, Netflix, and Salesforce, to a myriad of others… all would have been on...

Some markets have been choppy for longer than others. Most of the Nasdaq has been a chop fest since February, and so have Emerging Markets. Now since about May a lot more of the cyclical and developed markets have taken a hit.

You can see that in the Equally-weighted S&P500 Index:
