Robert Sluymer has been a Technical Analyst for close to 3 decades. I really enjoy his intermarket, global macro perspective and the way he brings it all together in a similar way to what we do at our shop. It was hard for me to really disagree with anything Rob said during this podcast episode. It seems to me like him and I are on the same page on many levels. I didn’t make it easy on him, but he certainly brought the goods. I really enjoyed this episode from someone who brings 27 years of institutional experience at RBC and is now at an independent shop at Fundstrat. We discussed Bitcoin, the S&P500, Sector Rotation, Bonds and Precious Metals. This was a good one! Give it a listen [Read more…]
[Premium] Monthly Conference Call Video Recording October 2019
This is the video recording of the October 2019 Conference Call.
Video: Is This A Massive Top For The US Stock Market?
In this Episode of Allstarcharts Weekly, Steve and I talk about the underperformance of the S&P500 relative to both Gold and US Treasury Bonds. The big question I think worth asking is whether these are massive distribution patterns in US Stocks on a relative basis, or if these are just consolidations within an ongoing uptrend that has been in place for years already? If you’re in the bear camp / recession coming crowd, then you would expect these tops to complete themselves to the downside. If you think stocks go on to make new all-time highs (I do), then these are not massive distribution patterns but just healthy consolidation instead.

Why We’re Selling Gold
We’ve been bullish precious metals since the 4th quarter last year and even coming into 2019. We’re not gold bugs, thank goodness. The risk vs reward was just skewed in favor of the long side, for a variety of reasons.
One of those was the fact that commercial hedgers were actually net long. They’re never net long, and literally always hedged. For me, these Commitment of Traders reports are usually just noise, EXCEPT when they’re at extremes. We want to pay attention when the rubber-band is stretched. And so we did, and Gold ripped!
Now we have the opposite scenario. Commercial Hedgers last month had on their largest net short position in history (345,145 contracts): [Read more…]
“Everything Is Working This Year”
Think about how well everything is going this year! The S&P500 is up almost 20%. Bonds are up 22% and even Gold is up 17%! Heck Bitcoin has more than doubled! Can things get any better than this??? [Read more…]
Three Charts That Tell The Risk Story
Stocks are still trying to break out of this massive range since early 2018. After some selling early this week, the range is still intact. I think this chart of the Global 100 Index tells the story best: [Read more…]
All Star Interviews Season 3, Episode 10: Willie Delwiche, Investment Strategist at Robert W. Baird
I’ve been following the work Willie Delwiche for years. As both a CFA and CMT Charterholder, I think it helps him really put things in perspective for the Advisors he works with at RW Baird. I really enjoyed the conversation we had about the markets and his process. Willie incorporates a number of breadth and sentiment measures that I’ve always been a fan of. He helps the Investment Advisors at the firm work with their clients and manages several portfolios as well. In this podcast episode we discuss a number of different things from Interest Rates to Gardening. It was fun to get to know Willie a bit more! [Read more…]
Video: Making The Bear Case For US Stocks
In this Episode of Allstarcharts Weekly, Steve and I make the bear case for US Stocks. I think we’ve been pretty clear about the fact that we believe stocks resolve this consolidation since 2018 higher, not lower. But I always think it’s important to take the other side and consider the alternative. What will the market environment most likely look like if we’re wrong, and we should be selling stocks rather than buying them. I think we brought up some good points here. [Read more…]
