We want to look at the broad market and treat every single stock market index as a tiny piece of a much bigger puzzle. The Dow Jones Transportation Average has been a great leading indicator for stocks as an asset class over the past few years and we continue to want to treat it that way. Remember, the Transports peaked at the end of 2014, 6 months before the S&P500 and this year the Dow Transports bottomed out in January, well before the S&P500 and the other major indexes bottomed out in February. So now what?
Every month I host a conference call for All Star Charts Members where we discuss ongoing themes throughout the global marketplace as well as changes in trends where new positions would be most appropriate. This includes U.S. Stocks & Sectors, International Stock Indexes, Commodities, Currencies and Interest Rate Markets. We have been bullish towards both U.S. and International stocks since early July and are seeing money rotate into new sectors and countries showing leadership. We will be discussing this in detail Wednesday.
We will also be focusing particular attention on precious metals: gold and silver. I think we've seen enough evidence to suggest there is a major trend in place and will discuss ways to profit from it in the coming months.
This month's Conference Call will be held on Wednesday August 17, 2016 at 7PM ET. Here are the Registration Details:
Throughout the week I did a ton of intermarket work comparing many markets with each other. This is a great exercise and really helps me get some perspective on the flow of money around the world. Remember, it doesn't just disappear. When money leaves one asset, let's say Japanese Yen or U.S. Treasury Bonds, it goes elsewhere. In this case, we're seeing that money flow towards banks as well as Japanese and European stocks.
There are two ways to use this information. First, simply take the money flow data as confirmation of other things we're seeing around the world, particularly those that we discussed in this week's conference call. Second, through execution purposes benefiting from narrowing or widening of these spreads. I personally use them in both ways.
Here are some of the more interesting developments that I found:

We have been pounding the table on heavy cash positions for the past few months, so we're ready to start allocating that capital this week.
