Written by Mish and Forrest Wednesday’s inauguration marks an interesting time for the economy. The new administration has shown that clean energy tech is on the table as a way to push for new jobs in the industry along with focusing on climate change policy going into the new year. The Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) being a very tech heavy index seemed to agree on Wednesday that the future of tech in 2021 is bright, ending

Every four years a simple time frame defined by the date of the presidential election creates an Election Range in most markets, ETFs, sectors and individual stocks. This Election Range defines inflection points that enable you to anticipate when the market will trend higher or lower in a meaningful way. Anticipating which direction the market will move is simple, and very powerful for identifying big trend trades. Below you’ll find an instructional video explaining the

I have been reviewing lots of graphs and charts that I come across and many others that people e-mail to me.  I am always intrigued by all the statistics that people put together showing what might occur in January and how it foretells the remainder of the year. I also enjoy seeing the graphs and tables showing what should occur if we come off two good quarters, like the 3rd and 4th of 2020, and

Written by Mish and Forrest The transportation sector (IYT) closed .36% lower Tuesday. It was the only member of the Economic Modern Family to end the day red. On the other hand, the retail sector (XRT) ended almost a half percent higher. Because of how retail and transportation are interconnected via supply and demand, watching them can at times give off early warning signals for more fundamental economic issues. With that said, all the family

When a leading market sector sells off hard, traders should take note to avoid getting surprised by a broader market sell-off. Even better than simply noticing an important sector reversing, would be to be to anticipate the move in time to avoid it or profit from it.On Monday, the Semiconductor ETF (SMH), a recent market leader, was one of the hardest hit sectors in the market’s decline. In this post you’ll discover how you could

Written by Mish and Forrest Friday, three of the major indices gapped lower ultimately closing negative for the week.  The Russell 2000, although down on Friday, closed up on the week. With the media pointing to a slew of reasons for the price drop, like negative bank earnings, slow vaccination rates, fall in retail sales, rising wholesale prices, and more, it becomes tough to discern where the market might go next. With that said, many

Happy Independence Day! This July we're going to focus on how and why this month, which begins the second half of the year, can be used to set you up for a great 2019. This video is a crash course in how to consistently profit with my 3 favorite MarketGauge indicators, by catching explosive trades in every market condition! You don't need to start with all 3, but I'll show you how they each work,

One that I think we all might want to put in the “rearview mirror” although looking back we have nothing short of 20/20 vision.   After COVID 19 made itself known in early January, lockdowns in March sent investors into a quick bearish market only to be surprised just two months later as a new Bull market was launched.  Very few, if any prognosticators expected the kind of big returns we witnessed among most asset classes.

Written by Mish and Forrest The market digests its recent highs amidst a rush of politically charged news as more riots and a second impeachment dominate headlines. We believe the market is more focused on the economic plans of the incoming administration and not as much on the politics at hand. The marijuana industry can attest to that with its recent strong performance. Furthermore, the Chamber of Commerce reported that the tariffs on China have

When the market sells off these stocks lead to trades that yield quick returns and then massive swing trades. It happens without fail because this is how the market works. When the market sells off, weak stocks get hit and many never come back. At the same time, the stocks that the big institutions like hold up, or sell off in a smaller degree. Many of these stocks become the leaders of the next market

Equity markets continue their bullish tear closing positive on the week and once again led by Grandpa Russell +2.5% (IWM). This is being partially fueled by the prospects of the passing of a long-awaited stimulus package in tandem with the optimism from the COVID vaccine rollout and seasonal (holiday) optimism. However, the pending stimulus package in conjunction with the Government’s easy monetary policy is pushing the dollar down around the globe and creating some big

Written by Mish and Forrest Grandad Russell 2000 (IWM) and Granny Retail (XRT) Make the Perfect Power Couple. The Russell 2000 (IWM) followed his wife (XRT) Retail, to new highs today while major indices sit under their recent highs. Granny’s enthusiasm has not only encouraged grandad to get back up since his recent pause under the 10-DMA, but her enthusiasm can also be seen spreading to other members of the Economic Modern Family. Transportation (IYT)

This week the cover story in Barron’s analyzed and opined about a specific subset of the hot marijuana industry. As a result, I’ve found a few stocks you may want to keep your eye on for big trend trades. Here’s how I found them. One of my favorite ways of finding ideas for big trend trades is to let someone else do the fundamental research, and for 30- years Barron’s has been one of the

US Equity Markets digested recent gains with Grandpa Russell from The Modern Family (IWM) bucking the recent correction in the NASDAQ 100 (QQQ) and the S&P 500 (SPY). Leading FAANG+ stocks are losing momentum and ripe for more selling. To us, it appears that there is a combination of sector rotation, changing style bias (Value vs. Growth), and some tax selling taking hold of the markets. While December, especially mid-month to the New Year has
