This week, another sporting event, The Masters, invokes the steep tradition many avid fans anxiously await. Many golfer friends are glued to the TV Saturday and Sunday on Master's weekend.
I am not a golfer, but the true talent that we see each year is a testament to practice, training, coaching, and hard work.
Like trading, golf is an individual sport, and the victor in each must wrestle with their emotional state of being. It takes similar mental characteristics to compete on the golf course as it does trading. One mistake can be costly.
The markets are complicated, tricky, uneven, hard to master, and can be punishing when the wrong trades taken. Losses can add up quickly if position sizing is incorrect, losing trades aren't closed quickly enough, or when stops are not diligently placed and executed.
In golf, you can see it in the low scores, mental anguish, and tough competition at Augusta National in Georgia.
We (MarketGauge) can also see it when we hear about the low winning percentage of trades, emotional frustration, and difficult trading stories from hedge fund buddies, friends, family members, and new subscribers.
There are clear similarities between golfers and traders, and they share many of the same successes and frustrations.
Similarly, during the Masters, I often hear the golfers, when interviewed, say…
"I have to stay within my game, mitigate mistakes and not let my minor mistakes throw me off course."
Folks, the exact same thing is true for traders whether you are new, very experienced, or a professional full-time trader and investor.
You must control your risk, and not get too complacent or too confident, or scared by recent losses so that you start changing your game plan and set yourself up for failure.
Like the hallowed grounds that very few golfers can master, the markets have their own twists and turns and are as difficult to read as the greens at Augusta.
We built MarketGauge so you don't have to guess what the markets are going to do in the near future.
Here are this week's latest highlights:
Have a great weekend and best wishes for your trading.
Keith Schneider
CEO
MarketGauge.com
I hope you’ve had a great week.
From the entire MarketGauge family to you and your family, we wish you a happy Easter (if you celebrate it), and to our Jewish friends, a belated Happy Passover holiday.
We are grateful that we get to share freedom, holidays and investment days with you, our extended family of subscribers.
Did you know…
History has it that in the 16th century Protestant Reformer, Martin Luther took his congregation outside and the woman and children hunted for eggs when a woman stumbled upon the empty tomb and thus sprung the concept of the Resurrection.
As a result, many families today have an Easter Egg hunt for their children and believe this tradition is integral to the Easter holiday.
To me, Easter has always held an important milestone each year as it ushers in spring, flowers, trees regrowing their leaves, and the symbol of renewal.
Easter and spring are a hopeful time for many of us in the US that are beginning to thaw out from the long winter.
I believe most people would agree…
2021 has been one of the longest winter’s they lived through given the double whammy of cold air and remaining lockdowns from COVID.
This year we have additional renewal as people are getting the vaccine, virus numbers are declining, and many areas are “opening up.”
Businesses that weathered closing or reduced opportunities to operate their business due to the “lockdowns” are remerging with hopeful signs of resuming business as usual.
And now, we’re all rolling into the unexpectedly bullish month of April.
April is historically a great month for the stock market.
And for those investors who are aware of its history, it can be a “golden egg.”
Were you aware that of all months, April has been one of the three best months for the S&P 500 going back to 1928? (January and July are the other two).
April has an average return of 0.88% a median return of 1.12% and is positive 63.4% of the time. (July is the best with a positive 67.2% of the time).
However, wait…
It gets better.
Over the past more recent two decades (2000-2020), April has been the best month of the year with an average return of 2.5% and a positive return 80% of the time.
And in 2021 the bullish bias is in full force…
One of our Alpha Rotation models that trades the bullish and bearish trends on the major indexes issued a new buy alert on one of the major three (SPY, QQQ, and IWM) for Monday and the other two are already in long positions.
Additionally, as you’ll read in this week’s highlights below…
Our Risk Gauges are either 100% bullish or they have moved in the positive direction across the board.
So statistically speaking…
The market is going into the bullish month of April feeling optimistic and hopeful.
Are you ready for it?
If you’re familiar with MarketGauge, or you’re just starting to follow us, then you know or you’re about to discover…
It’s time to define your risk, and manage your upside!
If you’d like help doing this with automated trading systems or indicators that enable you to do it yourself, let us know.
Managing Risk
As we suggested in last week’s commentary, “Play Ball,” it is important to have an investment edge. Whether through diversification, position sizing, or how you deploy your assets between models, we want you to have the home-field advantage.
MarketGauge is always performing its own Golden Egg hunt as we seek to uncover the stocks and ETF’s that have the highest likelihood to outperform.
Our confidence comes from our Risk Managed Process (RMP), which starts with a determination if we want to be invested in the first place.
Secondly, once we determine that we want to be invested, our three proprietary ranking and scoring tools, TSI (Trend Strength Indicator), RM (Real Motion) and TP (Triple Play Indicators) give us the analytical prowess to determine which are the best Golden Eggs.
Our job is to identify risk quickly and steer clear even if we must take small losses to do so as we did last month.
Last year, 2020, was a great lesson for us, and every investor as we got out of equities in late January and February before they peaked because our Risk Gauges indicated dangerous levels of bearish sentiment existed in equities.
When we pivoted out of stocks, we bought bonds. As you may recall, bonds melted up during the stock market’s collapse. This put our risk-adjusted returns in a class by itself.
By avoiding the turmoil, we had most, if not all, of our money to work with on the next leg up which began in earnest in April of last year.
In the long run, reducing or avoiding drawdowns like those caused by bear markets like early 2020 is as important as outperforming in bull markets like the second half of 2020.
Outperforming In Bull Markets
One of our tactics for outperforming the market is to have strategies that have a small number of positions.
This approach is very different than the large number of positions that most managers, ETF’s, and mutual funds employ.
Did you ever notice that most of those vehicles do not perform much better than the benchmarks they are comparing themselves to? This is by design; over-diversification means they cannot miss the target by much. Additionally, virtually all these vehicles do not employ a Risk Managed Process like ours. If their respective benchmark goes down then they will most likely go down as much if not more.
Most investment vehicles are overly diversified and do not really provide the investor with the opportunity to beat their benchmarks and add alpha.
Early on in our company’s history, we identified that if we could properly manage Risk (our #1 priority), own a few Golden Eggs (stocks), then we would produce investment returns that provide:
We have produced significant home runs over the past year using this process and relying on our proprietary Risk Managed Process to gain the investment edge.
For example, this past week we got out of Tesla after owning it for almost a year with a cost basis of around $100. We got out much of our holdings in stages and some at a higher price than this week’s sale. This week’s sale of our final 12.5% of our original position locked in a gain of than 600% return.
While a 600% gain is enviable and appears to an investor’s golden egg, our strategies don’t rely on triple-digit gains to dramatically and consistently outperform the market.
The more reliable and achievable golden egg in investing is found by reducing drawdowns with good risk management and delivering consistent double-digit winning trades.
For example, over the last 12 years, this approach has delivered strategies that have had significantly lower drawdowns (less than 30%) than the S&P 500, while providing dramatically higher returns ranging from about 700% to over 28,000%.
We continue to work hard to discover new optimal twists in our investment strategies and to develop new and different ways to manage risk. Our goal is to provide you with the best GOLDEN EGGS we can uncover. We will continue working hard to gain more of your confidence and trust.
Here are this week’s latest highlights:

Active investors and traders can learn a lesson or two from watching baseball, and...
This week on April 1, all 30 Major League Baseball (MLB) teams will begin their 2021 season and hopefully survive a full schedule of 162 games plus playoffs ending close to November 2021.
In both baseball and trading…
One way to win more often is to have an edge (a real statistical advantage) and play your game with strategies and tactics that exploit it.
Sometimes the edge has a short-term duration.
When it’s in play, you need to take action to capitalize on it.
Sometimes, playing with an edge requires a longer-term strategy of showing up and playing your game consistently with tactics that benefits from the edge.
The best of times come when short-term and long-term edges converge and compound in effectiveness.
The first steps in playing (trading) with an edge are knowing that it exists and then recognizing that it’s in play.
This Spring we’re hopeful that the professional baseball season will usher in the start of warmer weather, barbecues, swimming, boating, getting together with friends and family, and some sense of normalcy.
You may recall that the MLB only played 62 regular season games last year with no fans in attendance.
What you may not know is that…
An interesting edge for baseball players disappeared in the 2020 season, and even those who don’t know about this anomaly will be very happy to see it return in 2021.
I hope it returns because, like a “market truth”, it impacts how the game is played and enjoyed by even casual fans like me.
Even as a casual fan, baseball brings back great and vivid memories of growing up in NY.
I recall the “treat” of getting to go to a game and experiencing the sounds of baseball...the crack of the ball hitting the bat; the vendors calling out “beer here” and the smell of fresh cooked hot dogs with stadium mustard and of course the occasional bag of peanuts where I could throw my shells below me near my shoes.
I vividly recall the diehard fans tracking the progress of the game and the performance of the players with their scorecards.
They recorded everything - the number of hits, the batter’s records, the pitcher’s balls and strikes, and more.
These diehard fans recorded every player that touched the ball on every play.
Of course, every other fan watched the most popular statistic, the score, in the same way that the average investor focuses on the ups and downs of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
But as a reader of this post, you probably know that the Dow is just the “tip of the iceberg” and the keys to building wealth in the market are found elsewhere…
The excitement of the game of baseball, and the manual recording of all the game’s action was very analogous in many ways to my days of being an independent floor trader following the markets with hand-drawn point and figure charts.
To this day, amid all the noise and excitement created by the fans and players, there is another game being enjoyed by people collecting data and anticipating outcomes.
Now, with digital scoreboards and big data computing power, we’re all a few clicks on our phone away from every baseball statistic known to man. This data describes the efficiencies of each player, the defense, at-bats, and more.
As a result, team managers can identify the most valuable players in baseball for any position and every game-time situation.
This is particularly powerful considering that if 2 or 3 players get “hot” with unstoppable batting or unhittable pitching, they can give the team enough of an edge to consistently win games.
The edge of having the right player at the right time is often compounded by the tendency players and teams to experience “streaks”, much like traders, investors and markets do.
In baseball, a good streak means better stats or more wins. In trading, it means a bigger account balance. Either way, it’s a “market truth.”
The proof of this “market truth” plays out every year as baseball moves into its post season and the hottest players are traded as frantically as the stock market’s swing traders are currently buying and selling shares in SPACS on the hopes of what they might become in the very short-term future.
Additionally, baseball managers play a never-ending game of tactically putting players in the game precisely when they believe they have an edge that will outperform the competition under certain circumstances.
PLAY BALL WITH US
Understanding baseball can make us all better investors.
Baseball games and markets are both full of streaks, surprises, and reversals of fortune. As a result, they can both become an emotional rollercoaster.
As I’ve suggested, they both also have short-term and long-term edges.
These ‘edges’ are conditions or sequences of events that are recognizable and give anyone choosing to identify them an advantage over those who ignore them.
As I began above, in 2020 baseball players lost an edge that has existed for over century.
This is what I was referring to…
Have you ever experienced a home team transition from a group of players quietly losing a game into a team of rock-star performers who can do no wrong as the sound of the stadium builds from a dull hum into a deafening roar?
Sometimes it starts with an exciting play like homerun.
Sometimes it starts with a simple base hit that puts a “tying run” on base, and that sparks a new feeling of hope for what could come next.
And sometimes…
It starts with the home-town fans deciding that it’s time to get loud to motivate their team.
Regardless of how it begins, once underway…
The events and the energy of the crowd that follows have a predictable pattern.
Players perform at their best.
The stadium roars.
And then… the home team often wins.
This is baseball’s home field advantage at work.
Sure, this sequence of events can happen for the away team, but…
Statistically, however, the away team doesn’t enjoy this edge.
I don’t bet on sports games, but if I did…
I’d place my bets on the home team when this comeback momentum is underway.
I do bet on market, and when I do…
I like to have a “home team” edge.
As you can see by the chart below, the home team has a statistical edge. Looking back over 100 years, the home team has won roughly 54% of the time.
Interestingly, and to further prove the point, in 2020 when fans were not able to attend games, the edge all but disappeared.
Of course, the markets don’t have a home and away team, but they do have ‘bulls’ and ‘bears’ and plenty of analogous conditions, sequences of events, and human emotions that lead to the same predictable result.
Since the obvious fuel for both the bulls and the bears is derived from the current and expected future political and economic conditions, let’s start there.
On the bullish side…
On the bearish side…
Important factors that could support fuel bullish or bearish sentiment…
With all that in mind…
Who’s got the home field advantage? Bulls or bears?
For better or worse, answering that question by betting on the direction of the whole market is just one of many ways to make money in the market.
Additionally, as a trader or active investor, you need to be clear about whether you’re placing your bets on an edge that is relevant to the baseball equivalent of whether or not the next batter will get on base, or your team will win the current inning, game, series of games, or even the whole season.
At MarketGauge, we’re careful to match our strategies, automated trading models, and tactics to the time frames in which they have an edge, and therefore, also outperform.
For example, if I were to describe the MarketGauge mechanical models using baseball analogies….
As an active investor, it’s important to be aware of what strategy you’re using and why. This ensures that you stay disciplined, which is important for being profitable over the long-term.
Each strategy will, at times, enjoy its own home field advantage, but you also need to recognize that there will be more difficult times too. This is why position sizing and diversification is important.
Finally, you don’t need to choose to play with only one strategy. Diversifying into more than one strategy can reduce your portfolio's volatility.
As the market pulls back, it’s a good time to review the strategies you’re employing and why to help maintain good discipline, diversification and position sizing.

After a two-year, COVID-19 induced hiatus…
This week I was reminded of the excitement of the return this weekend of March Madness (NCAA men’s basketball tournament).
My colleague’s description of the March Madness betting expectations sounded like the same stories I hear about the market’s upside projections, like Tesla’s continuous volatile climb this past year or the re-opening of society.
I shouldn’t have been surprised.
This is MARCH MADNESS, and this weekend, 64 college men’s basketball teams will get the opportunity and privilege to compete to be called the best in all the land. I’m told there are a lot of “new teams” that have not competed in the NCAA basketball tournament in many years, if not decades.
These new teams are like a small cap stock that has exploded in price and now rests in the NASDAQ 100 (QQQ).
These new teams are from schools as small as 4,000 students that have been pining to make the playoffs for many decades.
They haven’t won a single game in the tournament for some 50 odd years.
I mention the tournament because, like the markets hitting new highs, the appetite for college sports reminds me of the ongoing excitement and enthusiasm surrounding the new IPOs, SPACS, and obscure technology companies which are all generating fresh interest daily.
Making this year’s March Madness even more maddening is the fact that on Friday there were 6 major upsets! Then on Saturday night, there were another two making it a total of 8 huge upsets.
One example, the #15 seeded, 4,000-student Oral Roberts, defeated the 60,000-student, #2 Big Ten Ohio State.
March Madness upsets like these demonstrate the power of the right team, in the right place, at the right time.
March Madness upsets are like the potential of small cap stocks.
Imagine if you had the right technology stocks last year, like Zoom (ZM) and Moderna (MRNA), in your “bracket” or portfolio last year as they rocketed from obscurity to leaders within their categories.
Fortunately, stocks are not as difficult to get right as college basketball teams.
Here are some crazy statistics surrounding March Madness…
Submitting your college team picks in a “bracket” has become a national pastime.
ESPN offers $1,000,000 to the winner with the perfect “bracket.”
Some 48 million brackets had been submitted to become this year’s perfect submission.
ANY and ALL winners walk away with a cool $mil!
Unfortunately, it’s not that easy.
Of the 48 million “brackets” as of Friday night, there were supposedly only 160 perfect brackets remaining at midnight Friday.
As of Saturday afternoon, it was down to 8.
And by Saturday night, NONE.
WOW. This has never happened in round 1. What are the odds of that happening?I want to point out that the March Madness tournament has that name because unforeseen victories happen that are least expected. This is like a stock that gets downgraded and sees a sharp 10% correction overnight.
It also reminds me of the current euphoria that is pervasive by traders and investors alike and the vast sums of money the market is attracting.
Over the past few months, we’ve highlighted in this weekly Market Outlook…
…the current economic backdrop of loose money,
…accommodative Fed Policy, and
…ongoing stimulus or “helicopter” money being dropped from the sky.
This has tricked the economy in both positive and negative ways.
Food prices, gasoline, real estate, and the cost of eating out have all gone up and that may eventually have a negative effect on inflation.
The positives, of course, are that if you are selling real estate, putting money in the market, or have any kind of collectibles (artwork, jewelry, old cars) this environment benefits the collectors, holders, and certainly the sellers.
This “loose” money is also finding its way into the markets.
We have seen many new highs in the Dow, S&P 500, Russell 2000, and continued high sentiment readings on many stocks, and…
Many of the biggest gainers have been the previously beaten down “value” stocks.
However euphoric the markets appear to be and…
However fast the money is being made by speculators in Bitcoin, small-cap stocks, SPACs, retailers, and semiconductor stocks…
I am here to remind you things can get ugly really fast.
Recently, we have been redundant in our warnings on encouraging you to use strict discipline and an investment process that manages RISK as its priority.
Many of you have inquired about a few of our investment strategies that are currently mostly invested in cash.
For example, our NASDAQ and Small Cap All-Stars have high cash positions.
A big up day in the market brings questions from subscribers about when we might get back in?
The next day, when the market is down sharply, I hear from others that say, “boy am I happy to be sitting in cash.”
As floor traders on the exchanges, we learned long ago that it is more important to keep your profits, protect your principal, and sit the dance out when things become uncertain, go sideways, and get volatile.
That time is now. It is particularly important to invest in more than one strategy and exploit more than one “edge.”
We encourage you to incorporate several of the MarketGauge strategies/models in your overall game plan.
Additionally, we will continue to provide additional methodologies and strategies to help you further diversify and exploit more than one “edge.”
March Madness is all fun and games if you’re playing your brackets, but we suggest you don’t take the same approach with your trading, and…
You can be a big WINNER in our rendition of March Madness for trading and investing.

“Keith, hope you and Mish are well. We are in Florida and just wanted to tell you that part of the country is “wide open”. Few people wear masks here and the discussion with friends, over and over, is about the “VACCINE”. Thought I would share some insight on how these conversations go here in South Florida.
Like a badge of honor or buying a sexy stock or valuable trading cards, we have not been too many places where the first topic of discussion is “Did you get your shot yet?” We have spoken with friends up north and they too ask us right away “Get the shot yet?” or I had to drive three counties over to a small obscure Rite Aid to get my Moderna shot. Our mutual friend here in Ft. Lauderdale is driving to Pensacola Sunday because that is the only place he can get the “shot”.
Last night, however, during a dinner with friends from NJ, the wife said there is no way on earth I am getting the Vaccine (an anti-vaxxer who has bought into the possible harmful effects and many conspiracy theories out there, right, or wrong she does not want a potentially “harmful” substance in her body). Most interesting though is that her children will have to get “the SHOT” in order to return to school in New Jersey.”
