Tuesday night we held November’s Monthly Conference Call which our Premium Members can access and rewatch here.
In this post, we’ll provide a summary of the call by highlighting 5 of the most important charts/topics we covered along with commentary on each.
Let’s dive into it.

Thanks to everyone for participating in this Week’s Mystery Chart. Most of you were sellers but the chart was inverted, so you were actually buyers.
We’d be buying this chart too, so let’s dive right in and see what it is and why we’re all so bullish.
This week’s chart was the Invesco Chinese Technology ETF $CQQQ.

Last week we discussed how Yield Curves across a variety of countries affect certain sectors of the Equity market like Financials.
Today we want to discuss why this week’s action could suggest that US Rates are getting ready to “catch down” to the rest of the world.
Mark Dow has been a guest on this podcast more times than anyone else for a good reason. Selfishly I always enjoy chatting with him. His perspective is fascinating to me because he does such brilliant job of combining price behavior with sentiment analysis and the global macro intermarket backdrop.
Mark worked for the U.S. Treasury Department in charge of Emerging Markets in the early 90s before ultimately running money for a Global Macro Hedge Fund in New York City. So he has a lot of opinions on economics and politics, but he’s great at not letting those things get in the way of his price behavior and sentiment analysis. He’s figured out how to separate them but also use his expertise to his advantage. That’s not any task.
I loved this conversation because we talked about how institutional investors are positioned coming into the U.S. election, how currencies and interest rates around the world are being affected, and in turn how they are affecting other asset classes. I ask him about Bitcoin and Gold and which one will win that battle. Of course, the US Dollar and Emerging Markets were part of the discussion (we can’t help ourselves whenever we get together), but we talk about how EM is now being driven by Technology and no longer the Natural Resources of the past.

This was fun. Give it a listen!
In this post, we want to share some research that was provided to our US Subscribers, which attempts to explain why the difference in Interest Rates in Europe and the US is causing trouble in the markets.
Everything between the horizontal lines was written for US subscribers, so keep that in mind as you’re reading it. The conclusion/takeaway for India is way at the bottom in bold.

Thanks to everyone for participating in this Week’s Mystery Chart.
We went “bottom fishing” with this week’s selection, posting a mystery chart that featured a potential bottoming pattern complete with a failed breakdown, fast move higher, and a successful retest of support. These are all bullish characteristics that point to a higher likelihood of this being a true trend reversal.
As we noted earlier this week, bottom fishing is a risky game. But, if we play the bottoming process responsibly, the market could offer us some delicious rewards.
Let’s dive right in…
