Bonds Funds are breaking out to new 3-month highs. This comes after consensus this September was for higher US rates, and therefore, lower prices for bonds. When the market is leaning too much in any one direction, the unwind of that extreme...

So far in the early stages of this market correction (dare I say Bear Market? Too Soon?), I've been aggressively deploying Bear Call Spreads to attack bearish trading opportunities.

Bear Call Spreads are a version of a vertical spread...

There is a reason we look at the stock market from a global perspective. It's because we invest in a global market. Stocks in America weren't going up the past couple of years because of what was happening in DC or New York. Stocks in the U.S. were...

Two weeks ago we wrote that the weight of the evidence was suggesting the major indexes in India were getting ready to resume lower. While we were a few days early...

There have been many whipsaws in the Commodities' market as of late, with few intermediate-term trends allowing us to trade them with well-defined risk. Every now and again the market provides us with a clear opportunity, this time it's in the form of...

There's a saying among market participants that "all gaps need to be filled" or "all gaps are eventually filled", but as with most market generalizations, this saying...

A conversation with Arun Chopra is one that makes you smarter. That's how I see it. Arun has formal training as both a CFA...

We always hear the phrases "fading strength" or "selling into strength" from market participants, but what does that mean from a practical standpoint? How do you know what to sell? When do you...

Over the last three weeks Sun Pharmaceuticals has been doing its best Deutsche Bank impression, losing roughly a third of its value and trading at levels not seen since March 2013.

As the largest component of the Nifty Pharmaceuticals Index...

I've seen way too much at this point to underestimate what the market is capable of doing. People call me all the time and say, "JC crazy market huh?" or "Did you see that crazy move in XYZ". Yea I saw it. So what? As Jay-Z said in...

You hear it all the time, "Cash is King". But we forget that it really can be. Not all the time, very few times in fact, but cash does serve a great purpose.

There are a lot of institutions that are not allowed to go to cash, as part of their...

Crude Oil is down roughly 35% over the last two months as record bullish sentiment unwound and prices fell in what was essentially a straight line. There hasn't been any reason to bottom-fish...

If you're bullish coming out of this Autumn's correction, then you're betting that recent lows in the indexes mark significant bottoms.

While we at All Star Charts don't believe Bulls are out of the woods just yet, we're of the view that if...

Over the years I've been asked this question a lot: "What do I do? Should I sell now?"

This is often accompanied by a story about how they bought a stock or asset and it went down in price instead of up. The blame usually goes to a...

Happy Thanksgiving!

During our family's feast this year I'll be reflecting on my gratitude to each and every one of our subscribers, and to my team here at All Star Charts. I could not ask for a more engaged audience and a more top-notch group...

I'm on the east coast this week for the Thanksgiving holiday so I came into the city to say hi to friends. Catherine Murray and I had a nice conversation on BNN Bloomberg about US Stocks, Interest Rates and what Credit Spreads are suggesting for...

On October 30th we got more constructive on Indian stocks and put out a massive post with stocks to buy. Given that many of these trades were counter-trend in nature, we...

We could not be more thrilled to see stocks selling off. There has been more than enough evidence since the beginning of October to suggest that a more neutral approach to markets and/or selling stocks short has been the best course of action. Passive...

When we want to see what the market is doing on a given day, we all have our list of the ticker symbols we punch in: $DJIA or $SPY or $QQQ. Some people are more global and look at things like Gold, Crude Oil or Interest Rates and countries like...

Until stock markets sound the "all clear" signal and we can get back to our regularly scheduled bull market, we have to operate with a different set of rules in order to protect our capital -- both money and mind. Corrective or Bear Markets require a...
