Big Mac Inflation Is Real

April 14, 2024

This just in: It's getting more expensive for people to get fat.

While many investors are more confused than ever looking at "CPI", whatever that is, the real inflation gauge is giving off a serious warning.

Inflation is here.

Look at the price of Big Macs at McDonald's skyrocketing:

Dow hits New 52-week Lows Priced in Real Money

April 13, 2024

The disaster for the Dow Jones Industrial Average continues.

Yesterday the Dow closed at a new 52-week low, priced in "Real" Money.

When you look at the Dow priced in Fiat Currency, it's also acting weak, actually DOWN since the start of February.

Here's what that looks like:

Platinum Is on Deck

April 12, 2024

From the Desk of Ian Culley @IanCulley

Nobody is paying attention to platinum.

It’s easy to overlook while gold shines and silver rips. But during the last commodity supercycle, platinum traded at a premium to the famous shiny yellow rock (and still does regarding retail jewelry).

Platinum was a powerhouse!

Check out gold and platinum futures overlaid going back to the 1970s:

Both peaked within a month of each other in the early 1980s and experienced rip-roaring rallies during the 2000s.

These two markets trend together over longer time frames. If this is an actual bull run for precious metals and an honest-to-god commodity supercycle, platinum will follow gold’s lead

In fact, it's breaking out of a multi-month base right now:

[Options Premium] International Sensitivity

April 12, 2024

We're looking abroad for today's trade in a company involved in the manufacturing and sale of connectivity and sensor solutions.

The stock is breaking out of a multi-year base and it offers us a nearby risk management level to keep our stop tight which means the potential for nice gains versus a smaller risk of loss.

International Hall of Famers (04-12-2024)

April 12, 2024

From the Desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza

Our International Hall of Famers list is composed of the 100 largest US-listed international stocks, or ADRs.

We've also sprinkled in some of the largest ADRs from countries that did not make the market cap cut. 

These stocks range from some well-known mega-cap multinationals such as Toyota Motor and Royal Dutch Shell to some large-cap global disruptors such as Sea Ltd and Shopify.

It's got all the big names and more–but only those that are based outside the US. You can find all the largest US stocks on our original Hall of Famers list.

The beauty of these scans is really in their simplicity.

We take the largest names each week and then apply technical filters in a way that the strongest stocks with the most momentum rise to the top.

Based on the market environment, we can also flip the scan on its head and filter for weakness.

Let's dive in and take a look at some of the most important stocks from around the world.

Here's this week's list:

[Options] Earnings Season Draws First Blood

April 11, 2024

In today’s Jam Session, I discussed the potential for markets to hit the pause button soon (if they haven’t already) and how that’s affecting my trade selection going forward.

Considering that some of our big winners have hit or are nearing our profit targets, or have been approaching expiration, it feels like a perfectly logical place for this pause to happen. $AMZN hit our upside price objective this afternoon!

And it might be earnings season that does it.

Earnings season is beginning again, and our first earnings casualty is already on the books with Fastenal $FAST getting taken to the woodshed this morning.

What the market taketh, I hope it will giveth back via an “add-on” trade we’ve got open in Wells Fargo $WFC. It is specifically betting on earnings being the catalyst to pop $WFC higher out of a high-and-tight flag.

The good thing about...
