Sector rotation is the lifeblood of a bull market. This cycle is clearly no different.
And breadth expansion reigns. Remember all these angry people telling you how Small-caps were going to drag the rest of the market lower?
It’s actually been the exact opposite.
All of this is perfectly normal. Take the time to go back and see for yourself. [Read more…]

This is the best time of the year for stocks.
And stocks are doing very well.
In other words, perfectly normal market behavior.
In fact, this is exactly when Small-caps historically start to outperform their large-cap counterparts.
And sure enough, that’s exactly what we’re seeing.
Here’s a great chart from Jeff Hirsch and Jay Kaeppel showing these seasonal tendencies: [Read more…]

Welcome back to Under the Hood, where we’ll cover all the action for the week ended November 11, 2023. This report is published bi-weekly and rotated with The Minor Leaguers.
What we do here is analyze the most popular stocks during the week and find opportunities to either join in and ride these momentum names higher, or fade the crowd and bet against them.
We use a variety of sources to generate the list of most popular names.
There are so many new data sources available that all we need to do is organize and curate them in a way that shows us exactly what we want: a list of stocks seeing an unusual increase in investor interest.
Click here for a behind-the-scenes look at our process.
Whether we’re measuring increasing interest based on large institutional purchases, unusual options activity, or simply our proprietary lists of trending tickers, there’s a lot of overlap.

This is one of our favorite bottom-up scans: Follow the Flow.
In this note, we simply create a universe of stocks that experienced the most unusual options activity — either bullish or bearish, but not both.
We utilize options experts, both internally and through our partnership with The TradeXchange. Then, we dig through the level 2 details and do all the work upfront for our clients.
Our goal is to isolate only those options market splashes that represent levered and high-conviction, directional bets.
We also weed out hedging activity and ensure there are no offsetting trades that either neutralize or cap the risk on these unusual options trades.
What remains is a list of stocks that large financial institutions are putting big money behind.
And they’re doing so for one reason only: because they think the stock is about to move in their direction and make them a pretty penny.
Then we flip through our list of stocks flashing unusual activity and pick the best setups using many of the same technical filters we do for our other scans.
And, just like that, we’ll follow the money flow and fatten our own pockets along with some of the world’s most powerful financial institutions.
