Below is the 10th ASC Mastermind Course. In this video, I discuss how to profit from short squeezes.
I love short squeezes. I love how they happen, I love how they're somewhat misunderstood, and most importantly, I love to profit from them.
That's why we created an entire scan to identify stocks with potential short squeezes.
Most people think looking for a short squeeze is as simple as looking for stocks with the highest short interest. But we know there's a little more nuance than that. In reality, there are multiple components to a short squeeze.
In this video, I review the three parts of a short squeeze (why they happen), how we find these stocks, and how we analyze them to ultimately profit.
Below is the 9th ASC Mastermind Course. In this video, I discuss my process for finding the best small-caps.
If you don't pay attention to small-caps, you should start.
At All Star Charts, we look at small-caps for two reasons: they give us valuable information about the market, and they give us many trade ideas.
Small-caps might have a reputation for underperforming large-caps at the index level (at least, for most of the last 15 years), but at the individual stock level, this is where the biggest winners are often found. After all, every large-cap stock was once a small-cap.
The challenge in trading small-caps however, is that there's so many of them. So we've come up with a number of scans specifically designed to help us identify the small-caps in the best position to pop. Here's how we do it.
Below is the 10th ASC Mastermind Lab. In this video, I'm joined by Brian Shannon. Brian is the founder of Alphatrends, and also wrote two of the most influential technical analysis books: Technical Analysis Using Multiple Timeframes, and Maximum Trading Gains With Anchord VWAP.
Brian Shannon has written two of the most influential recent books on technical analysis, and moving averages are at the core of both.
In this Mastermind Lab, Brian and I discuss the flaws of traditional moving averages, and why VWAP is itself essentially another form of moving average.
Moving averages are generally meant to allow investors to analyze assets across multiple timeframes, and Brian literally wrote the book on multiple timeframe analysis. So when I want to talk about this stuff, Brian is one of the first guys I call.
Below is the 9th ASC Mastermind Lab. In this video, I'm joined by Grant Hawkridge, one of our analysts at All Star Charts and a specialist in understanding market sentiment.
How do we know when investors are "bullish" or "bearish"? Price, for one. But there are also several key indicators that we use to measure investor sentiment in addition to price alone. And understanding these indicators, how they work, and when to use them, is critical in getting a complete picture of the market.
Below is the 8th ASC Mastermind Course. In this video, I got a helpful assist from All Star Charts Director of Research Steve Strazza.
There's something psychologically magical about dividends. For decades, investors have flocked to all sorts of investment strategies that seek to maximize dividend gains...perhaps because they simply like getting paid to invest.
But these strategies that focus on dividend-paying stocks...they miss the point entirely. The best way to make money with dividends is not to own the stocks that simply pay the highest yield...it's to own the stocks that pay a dividend while also going up in value.
This is how we avoid common dividend traps like Verizon, AT&T, Phillip Morris, and other companies that have a nice yield but are otherwise garbage investments.
At All Star Charts, we came up with a new to find the best dividend-paying stocks. We call it The Young Aristocrats. And in this Mastermind course, you'll learn how it works.
Below is the 8th ASC Mastermind Lab Course. These are special videos that will be made available throughout the duration of the 12-week course featuring conversations with professionals from across Wall Street discussing topics in their expertise.
If you're going to talk about market seasonality, you might as well talk to the master. Jeff Hirsch is the editor and publisher of the Stock Trader's Almanac. His dad, Yale Hirsch, literally created the Almanac and is responsible for bringing the idea of market seasonality to the mainstream.
There is no one that understands market seasonality better than Jeff. I have learned everything that I know on this topic from him. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
Below is the 7th ASC Mastermind Lab Course. These are special videos that will be made available throughout the duration of the 12-week course featuring conversations with professionals from across Wall Street discussing topics in their expertise.
In our last Mastermind Lab, I spoke with Jason Perz about the relationship between bonds, commodities, and currencies. This time, I wanted to bring the conversation back to the stock market. Enter Todd Sohn, ETF & Technical Strategist at Strategas Securities.
Todd and I discussed the ETF market at length, how it's evolved in recent years, and its future. We also discussed a variety of different intermarket analysis techniques that incorporate ETFs.
Below is the 6th ASC Mastermind Lab Course. These are special videos that will be made available throughout the duration of the 12-week course featuring conversations with professionals from across Wall Street discussing topics in their expertise.
I wasn't ready to move on from intermarket analysis just yet. It's too important. So I called up Jason Perz, the newest All Star Charts analyst, and someone who is an expert in the relationship between bonds, commodities, and currencies.
Jason and I discussed these relationships at length, how these markets have reacted to major historical events, and how a move in one market could impact another.
