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 Japanese or German Indexes. I talk to guys and gals who tell me the Russell2000 is the market for them. We’re all different. The point is to be true to who you are and act accordingly.
I get asked a lot what that list is for me. The way I interpret this question is, “What are the 15 ticker symbols I punch into my charting software to see what the market did or is doing at any point during the day or night?”.
In no particular order:
S&P500 Futures
Dollar / Yen
Gold
Crude Oil
Russell2000
US 10-year Yield TNX
EUR / USD
Copper
Nasdaq Futures
Regional Banks $KRE
Technology $XLK
Dow Transportation Avg
Junk Bonds $HYG
Deutsche Bank $DB
Berkshire Hathaway $BRKB
*Remember that this list has changed over time and will always be evolving as different stocks and assets become more relevant than others in future market environments
