This is the recording from the live January 2023 Conference Call for Members of the Allstarcharts India! Before getting into individual stock ideas in India, we’re going to first start with the global macro perspective. Once we identify the direction of the underlying trends from a structural and broader view, then we’ll dive into the NIFTY Indexes on both longer-term and short-term timeframes. We want to look at Large-caps, Small-caps, and everything in between before getting into the Sector and Industries themselves like Energy, Banks, and Pharma.
This is when we finally break things down to the individual stock scenario with identified risk vs reward opportunities. That is what this is all about – aligning ourselves in the direction of the underlying trend while at the same time identifying where the risk is to make sure the potential reward is skewed exponentially in our favor. You will find that throughout this process we discuss Momentum, Fibonacci and Relative Strength. I encourage you to check out the Education Section so you know exactly where I’m coming from when you hear me mention these tools.

A funny thing happened last summer.
Financials as a sector successfully retested the highs in price from just before the start of the Great Financial Crisis.
Look at the 2007 peak in Financials. After testing that level and failing in 2018 and 2020, prices ultimately broke out.
Last summer was the retest.

It was very whippy price action today in individual names.
We saw a lot of stop outs in the morning, then some recovery later on.

Today’s Hot List is a short one, as insider activity has cooled with the broader equity market this week.
The only insider transaction was a Form 4 filing by EcoR1 Capital LLC.

The underperformance out of U.S. Large-cap Growth indexes continues.
It’s not the stock market’s fault that the S&P500 has way too much exposure to large-cap growth.
And when we talk about “the stock market”, there are countries outside of the United States that continue to shine.
Today’s Chart of the Day shows the S&P500 hitting new 52-week lows relative to Developed Countries outside of North America: [Read more…]

Welcome to the 2 to 100 Club.
As many of you know, something we’ve been working on internally is using various bottom-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, 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 Retail, Solar, etc.
Then, like any good technician, we filter the list down to those closest to new highs.
This allows the cream of these strong groups to rise to the top and helps streamline our mission to identify technical breakouts in the top-performing stocks.
