12 Charts You Need To Make Money In Gold

February 16, 2016

Precious metals are a sensitive subject in some circles. Discussions about gold or silver tend to bring out more anger and craziness than other assets. As someone who couldn't care less about what we're trading, Gold, Apple, Bonds, Australian Dollars or Go Pro, to me it's just letters and math. I find it kind of funny when people get extra sensitive about a specific asset. Precious metals bring out some of the most hilarious commentary.

Today, I want to break down Gold and Precious Metals from many different angles in order to put it into context from both a structural perspective and a shorter-term tactical outlook.

[Premium] My Notes on the Dow 30 Components

February 8, 2016

One of the most valuable tools that we have as market participants is in taking the sum of the parts to help come up with a final conclusion. While we all talk about what the Dow did yesterday or what it’s done year-to-date, it is easy to forget that there are 30 companies driving this popular U.S. stock market benchmark. By going through each of these 30 stocks, we can get a better feel for the market itself rather than just analyzing the performance of the index. To me, it’s the combination of the two that seems to be the best approach.

All of the 30 Dow Components have just been updated in the Chartbook, and here are my notes on the results:

[Premium] Updated Notes on U.S. Sectors and Sub-sectors

February 4, 2016

The U.S. Stock market and most of its sectors continue to rally. As happy as we are to see this, and as much as we expect this to continue through February, these are only counter-trend rallies within larger structural declines. The good news is that counter-trend rallies in bear markets historically tend to be the most powerful kind of rallies. I think there is still room to the upside in many different sectors with very well-defined risk.

All of the charts have been updated on the Chartbook. Here are my notes for this week's sector review:

[Premium] Here's Why I Want To Buy Twitter

February 4, 2016

As you guys know I started to turn bullish towards the stock market over the last couple of weeks for the first time since last October. Now, I want to make sure that we all understand that this is just a counter-trend rally within an ongoing bear market. Regardless, this is still a rally that I would like to participate in on the long side and every day

I am finding more and more opportunities to buy beaten down names, just for a trade, of course.

[Premium] Risk/Reward Levels: S&P500, DJIA, R2K, QQQ, and More

February 3, 2016

There is much more to life that what the Dow did yesterday. Every week we go chart by chart looking at all of the major U.S. Stock Market Indexes. This analysis includes the S&P500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, Dow Jones Transportation Average, Dow Jones Utility Average, Nasdaq100, Russell 2000, Mid-Cap 400, Russell Micro-cap Index, etc.

All of these charts have been updated on both Weekly and Daily timeframes in the Chartbook and these are a few of my notes from this week's analysis including some updated risk vs reward levels:

Please note: this is multi-timeframe analysis looking both long-term and short-term. Defining who you are as an investor

, particularly your time horizon, is especially important at this point as, for the most part, the weekly charts and daily charts are telling different stories because they are on different time frames.

[Premium] February 2016: JC's Notes on Commodities & Currencies

January 29, 2016

Commodities and Currencies are telling an interesting story. When you go through each of them one by one, you start to recognize ongoing themes, whether in energy, metals or agriculture. In addition, based on specific strength and weakness in different currencies around the globe, that information can be used in multiple ways. Using intermarket analysis, we can take that information and use it in the equities market, or go ahead and trade the commodities and currencies directly using Futures, Forex or ETFs. Either way, it's worth doing the homework.

I just finished my Commodities and Currencies review and updated all of them in the Chartbook. It's nice to see Oil and Copper rallying as we discussed in the most recent letter. I think this theme continues
