When Junk Bond traders jump ship, I’m out of stocks.

With all the talk about credit spreads “blowing out” since early August, this is an important discussion to have right now.

We always trust the bond market. Throughout history, bonds have done an impeccable job at alerting investors about problems in risk asset markets. 

When there is stress in other markets, it shows up in fixed income first.

However, as technical analysts, we are mindful of the math that is behind some of the relationships we study and give weight to.

What if I told you that industrials have been massive underperformers during this bull market? 

The absolute price chart looks incredible. How could that be?

We call it the denominator fallacy. 

Benchmarked against the S&P 500 or Nasdaq 100, of course they are underperforming. 

We think there is a similar situation playing out for our bond market ratios right now.

The absolute chart up top looks great. The relative trend, down below, not so much.

...

Heading into this week I was anticipating a bounce. We're seeing this playout and at the same time, we're seeing some positive rotation in stocks.

I have the same exposure in the coins I've discussed in recent weeks, with some additional positions in names like MARA.

Overall, a quiet yet productive week for markets.

First up is the $1.3B pet health & wellness services provider, Petco $WOOF:

We first covered Petco in June, after the retailer had its best 3-day rally in history.

With a 200% run-up in the month of May, the stock earned a few months of digestion, and that is exactly what's played out.

Last week, it rallied over 50% on the heels of earnings, sparking a new short squeeze.

With a 29% short...

There are plenty of Technology stocks that are working.

You just have to look.

Our...

That was it?

We can just take our ball and go home now?

The A.I. story has come and gone and the recession that they've been telling us about all these years is finally here?

So this is a major top in Nvidia - ending the whole damn thing?

That's your bet?

And this massive top in Microsoft is exactly that - a historic top? One for the record books?

So the largest company on the planet is about to complete this 8 months of institutional distribution and is about to bring down the entire Technology sector?

Keep in mind that Nvidia and Microsoft combine for over 41% of the S&P Technology Index. (Apple is only 5% of Tech now)

Here's what I'm being told is the end for Microsoft...

Is that the bet you're making?

This is the end of the bull market?

Because I see Consumer Discretionary as the leading sector over the past month. Look at those returns, all outperforming the major averages by a long shot:

And another thing.

You know how we've been pointing out that High Beta has severely underperformed Low Volatility?

Well look at this monster whipsaw.

Keep in mind that...

Literally.

The trade today is in a company that actually makes money, minting coins. You know, the coins you drop in the pinball machine.

So, no matter how you think about it, the fundamentalists cannot say that this company does not make money. It always makes money.

Fun and word games aside, we've got a trade that has signaled the next big move and today's trading action is offering us a nice pullback in which to get involved at better prices.

Welcome to The 2 to 100 Club.

In this scan, we look to identify 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.

Some of the best performers in recent decades – stocks like Priceline, Amazon, Netflix, Salesforce, and myriad others – would have been on this list at some point during their journey to becoming the market behemoths they are today.

When you look at the stocks in our table, you'll notice we're only focused on Technology and Growth industry groups such as Software, Semiconductors, Online...
