This week we’re looking at a long setup in the FMCG sector.
[Premium] Pharma Continues to Shine
This year has been fantastic for one sector in particular, and that is the Pharma sector. Stocks that had been in a secular bear move, reversed their trend late last year and have been trading higher since.
Let’s see if there are any opportunities in the current set-up as the sector prepares for its next leg higher (along with IT).
4 Signs of a Market Correction
During bull markets I always get asked about when it’s going to stop. I don’t get asked about stock market bubbles and unsustainable valuations during bear markets, that’s for sure. Those environments come with other kinds of funny questions.
This morning I woke up to one of my college buddies telling me that tech valuations are too high and that this has to be a bubble.
Journalists ask me every day how this can possibly continue. “Too high”, they say. “Too fast”, they tell me. “Fed Printing”, they claim. “It’s only 5 stocks!!!”… I can’t.
Anyway, maybe this is the top. Maybe we are about to crash. Maybe valuations are too high….
But there’s no evidence at all that this is the top. New All-time highs are not characteristic of downtrends. They are things we see regularly in uptrends. In fact, new highs are perfectly normal, and should even be expected in this type of environment.
The opinions of my college friends don’t matter. The opinion of the bond market? Yes, that matters. Currencies? Yup. Metals? Yea probably.
We already covered last week that credit continues to point to higher stock prices. It has nothing to do with a virus or vaccines. It’s only been about credit since this rally started 9 months ago. Don’t get it twisted.
Anyway, to continue with that conversation, I wanted to point out a few other places where we will definitely see signs of a stock market top, if/when it comes. Here is that chart: [Read more…]
Young Aristocrats (December 2020)
From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza
Dividend aristocrats are easily some of the most desirable investments on Wall Street. These are the names that have increased dividends for at least 25 years, providing steadily increasing income to longer-term minded shareholders.
As you can imagine, the companies making up this prestigious list are some of the most recognizable brands in the world. Coca-Cola, Walmart, and Johnson & Johnson are just a few of the household names making the cut.
Here at All Star Charts, we like to stay ahead of the curve. That’s why we’re turning our attention to the future aristocrats. In an effort to seek out the next generation of the cream-of-the-crop dividend plays, we’re curating a list of stocks that have raised their payouts every year for 5-9 years.
Introducing the Young Aristocrats. We like to say these are “stocks that pay you to make money”. Imagine if years of consistent dividend growth and high momentum & relative strength had a baby, leaving you with the best of the emerging dividend giants that are outperforming the averages.
By adding our technical analysis to the mix, the Young Aristocrat setups give you the opportunity to own the best of the market’s future blue-chip winners before they become must-own household names.
And maybe the best part? This list is not just designed for long-term investors. Traders of all time frames can use this list to help generate ideas even in the shorter-term. Remember, some of the most important filters we use for this list are momentum, relative strength, and proximity to new highs. So let’s keep it real, these stocks are going up across all time horizons.
With that said, Let’s dive right in… [Read more…]
[Video] Small-caps, Germany & Which Rocks To Own
This week, Julie and I talk about some of the things that stood out the most on last week’s Monthly Chart Review.
Among them were the Market Capitalization rotation into Small & Mid-caps and out of those Mega-cap stocks.
Germany and Japan making new highs leading the international charge higher.
And which rocks would we rather own: Precious Metals or Base Metals?

[Premium] Nifty Energy Index Breaks Out!
The Nifty Energy Index is breaking out to new all-time highs!
What’s driving this rally? Is it sustainable? And what are the best opportunities in the space today?
Let’s jump in and cover all these topics.
Covid Stocks Bounce Back
Are US Interest Rates Going Higher?
I think this is an important discussion. Which way are rates headed?
Remember, Interest Rates setting up for a collapse was one of the reasons we were so bearish equities in late January, and looking to own bonds instead.
The thought process in January was the following: If 10s are going to break their 2012 & 2016 lows, is that most likely happening in an environment where stocks are doing well? Or are rates collapsing most likely taking place in an environment where stocks are under pressure?
Our bet was the latter. We used rates as a leading indicator.
Today we’re doing the same thing. But the data coming in is the exact opposite.
First of all, here are US rates going out last week at new 9-month highs: [Read more…]
