Panic Buying Ensues

July 22, 2022

You see what happens when the US Dollar isn't ripping higher every day?

I wasn't making this up.

It's all about the Dollar my friends.

And Dollar Futures aren't even off by that much, just down a couple of points over the past week.

But still, the Dow is up almost 2000 points, Ethereum is up 60% and Active Managers just posted their second highest weekly increase in exposure in the history of the NAAIM survey:

July Mid-Month Conference Call: 5 Key Takeaways

July 21, 2022

From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza

Monday night we held our July Mid-Month Conference Call, which ASC Premium Members can review here.

In this post, we’ll summarize the call by highlighting five of the most important charts and/or themes we covered, along with commentary on each.

Let’s get right into it!

Baker Bros Doubles Its Immunocore Position

July 21, 2022

The largest insider transaction on today’s Hot List is a Form 4 filing by Nimish P. Shah, who reported an additional purchase of roughly $1.4 million of Tricida $TCDA.

The only 13D on our list today was filed by Baker Bros Advisors LP.

Was That A Breadth Thrust?

July 21, 2022

One thing we know about markets is that breadth thrusts tend to cluster together near the beginning of new bull markets.

Breadth thrusts are NOT signs of exhaustion. They are evidence of new trends emerging.

Now, after a few days of strength in stocks and crypto, investors are wondering: Was that a thrust?

Well, almost. But it's not quite there yet.

Here's one that's close. We're looking at the % of stocks in the S&P500 making new 20 day highs.

We saw over 40% of stocks hit new 20 day highs this week. We're looking for 55% to categorize this one as a true breadth thrust:

2 to 100 Club (07-20-2022)

July 20, 2022

From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza

Welcome to the 2 to 100 Club.

As many of you know, something we've been working on internally is using various bottom-up tools and scans to complement our top-down approach. It's really been working for us!

One way we're doing this is by identifying the strongest growth stocks as they climb the market-cap ladder from small- to mid- to large- and, ultimately, to mega-cap status (over $200B).

Once they graduate from small-cap to mid-cap status (over $2B), they come on our radar. Likewise, when they surpass the roughly $30B mark, they roll off our list.

But the scan doesn't just end there.

We only want to look at the strongest growth industries in the market, as that is typically where these potential 50-baggers come from.

Chart of the Day: 2 Important Bellwethers

July 20, 2022

There are many examples of important Indexes and Sector ETFs that are retesting key former highs, the 2018 peak in particular.

You can see it in Small-caps, Financials, European Indices, Bitcoin/Ethereum and many others. We discussed all of these on this week's live Premium Conference Call, and also in our Q3 Playbook to Profit.

But you can also see these important retests in the bellwethers.

Here are two of the most important on the planet, one representing Industrials and the other Financials - 2 key sectors in America.

Hot Corner Insider

The Inside Scoop (07-20-2022)

July 20, 2022

From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza

US equity markets have stabilized since June as macro headwinds have abated. 

This has brought on more bullish chart setups and a longer list of new highs.

While it’s nothing to get too excited about yet, it’s definitely a departure from the environment we’d been in.

Today, we’ll cover a stock that recently joined the Hot List and looks ready to join the new 52-week highs list next.

Of Course Buffett Is Buying

July 20, 2022

There’s been a noticeable lack of Hot List activity, as insiders seem to be sitting out the latest rally.

Today is no different, as we have a single Form 4 and one 13G.

July 20, 2022

This is our ASC Research Q3 2022 Playbook.

Investors have a lot of questions right now. With sentiment and at some of the most pessimistic levels in history, what will it take for some of these trends to change in the second half of the year? I believe some major trends are already changing.
