The Best Week Ever

Posted by Trend Signal Forex Now

Saturday, March 8, 2025

Wow what a week to be an investor in stocks.

The broadening of participation all over the world continues.

Meanwhile, the pessimism is stronger than ever.

I'm noticing the most angry of people are the ones who want stocks to fall because they don't like the Trump and all his buddies.

But their anger is not the market's concern. If anything, it's just more fuel to drive stocks much higher, which would enrage them even more.

It's pretty hilarious to watch actually.

Laughing is good for you. But laughing at people who haven't bothered to count and actually see how well stocks are doing, is all the more amusing.

You know, you can dislike Trump, and still recognize how strong this bull market continues to be, and how much stronger it's getting week over week.

Here is one of the most important stock market indexes in the world. I would argue that after the S&P500, Dow and Nasdaq, this one is right there behind it, and arguably right along there with it in the same category of importance.

EFA represents developed markets outside of North America. So think a ton of European stocks, United Kingdom, Japan and Australia.

New 18-year highs this week after completing this multi-year base:

Now, when you dig down to see what's inside a lot of these indexes, you'll find a ton of exposure to the Financial sector, more than you might expect.

If the world was about to come to an end and stocks were completely falling apart, the European Bank index fund would not be breaking out to new all-time highs.

And that's exactly what's happening:

This was the greatest week ever for Developed Markets Ex-North America relative to the S&P500.

This is literally the definition of rotation.

Best week ever:

If we were about to enter into a global recession, and there are real issues in the stock market, would Germany be making new all-time highs?

Would China be breaking out of a multi-year base to new multi-year highs?

The answer is no.

All this strength means is that this bull market is getting broader, stronger and with more upside participation:

You can fight this sort of thing if you want. But historically, during bull markets it pays much better to be buying stocks, not selling them.

Go back and see for yourself.

It's crazy that with how well stocks are doing, market sentiment is down in the dumps.

Money Market funds just hit $7 Trillion. How is that even possible?

Money is flowing faster than ever into cash, just as more stocks than ever are going up in price.

Meanwhile, when you check in on individual investors in America, we're seeing some of the most pessimistic readings in stock market history. The only other times you can compare this to, is after massive declines and near the end of bear markets.

We're just a few % points away from all-time highs in the major U.S. Indexes, and more countries than ever are now participating in this bull market.

In fact, with investors getting more and more scared with each week that goes by (we have the data), you actually saw fewer stocks on the NYSE closing this week at new 52-week lows than you got the week before.

And last week's new lows readings were actually fewer than the January spike.

So literally, the market continues to improve week over week, and it's only getting stronger, yet investors are just getting more angry and more scared.

The ones who are scared about the Trump and what they're doing in Washington are leading the charge of anger and frustration.

We love that.

The more pessimistic these folks get, the stronger the next leg higher for this bull market is likely to be.

So thank you angry folks. We are forever grateful.

Just yesterday we took profits on two more long positions that just doubled.

The doubles continue to come again and again.

Divide the VIX by 16

Posted by Trend Signal Forex Now

Friday, March 7, 2025

Today I'm going to share a little trick that I like to use to help put the current market volatility into perspective.

The math is like this. I take the value of the VIX and divide by 16. And that's what the market is pricing in for a normal daily move.

For example, if the VIX is at 24, then I would expect a 1.5% move in the S&P500 each day.

So if the VIX is at 16, then I would expect a 1% move.

If the VIX is at 32, then I would expect a 2% move.

Simple.

Now, many people wonder why it's 16, and that's where we get way above my paygrade. If you don't understand how the math around options works, don't worry. No one else does either.

I'm not even joking. Options math is next level impossible. Just ask any of the best options traders. They'll be the first to tell you.

The 16 number I believe has something to do with the square root of the number of trading days in a year, but I'm confident there's more to it than that.

Also, for you statistics majors, I believe there is technically like a 67% probability of these results, or something along those lines.

So keep in mind that The Rule of 16 is just a back of the napkin tool to keep life simple and help put things in perspective.

It's not meant to be an exact science. For the exact science, here's the bible. All I can say is - good luck with that.

I'll stick with the simple stuff.

So what we want to do is take this and make it part of the overall weight of the evidence. Then we want to apply it to current markets to help us decide what we want to do in this current environment.

There are trades to be had and money to put to work.

This week was our LIVE Monthly Charts Strategy Session. This is where we discuss all the major trends and how we want to profit from it - in both Stocks and ETFs. Click here to get access to the video, download the charts and review each of the new trade ideas.

See you in there!

The Hot Corner: Director Quinn Reports a $9.6 Million PR Purchase

Posted by Trend Signal Forex Now

Thursday, March 6, 2025

Editor's Note: THE TRADE WAR IS ON. How will it impact you? How will it impact the stock market?

It all starts with retail. And nobody knows retail stocks like Jeff Macke.

Jeff's breaking down the Trade War and what it means to you and your portfolio LIVE TODAY FOR FREE AT 4 PM ET.

A wave of insider transactions rose up from the energy sector yesterday.

📌 Permian Resources $PR, Diamondback Energy $FANG, Murphy Oil $MUR, and Park Hotels & Resorts $PK all saw fresh buys.

But the most significant move came from PR, where director William J. Quinn put down $9.6 million.

📌 Meanwhile, over in trucking, Old Dominion Freight Line $ODFL EVP and CFO Adam N. Satterfield just stepped up with a Form 4 filing revealing a purchase of $432,260.

When a CFO puts their own money in, it's worth paying attention—they know the numbers better than anyone.

Here's The Hot Corner, with data from March 5, 2025:

Click the table to enlarge it.

📌 Skeena Resources $SKE saw a 13G filing, with Helikon Investments increasing its stake from 7.81% to 10.67%.

📌 Last but not least, Senator Dave McCormick of Pennsylvania purchased $75,000 to $150,000 worth of the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF $BITB.

Bull Markets Are Great

Posted by Trend Signal Forex Now

Wednesday, March 5, 2025

Please tell me you're paying attention to what's going on.

Are you looking? Are you listening?

Are you taking notes?

This is what bull markets are like. This is literally what happens in every bull market.

Stocks go up. But people keep telling you why they'll stop going up.

More and more stocks go up, and then people tell you that breadth is weakening.

More countries and more groups of stocks join the bull market and start to go up too, and then they tell you that it's a bubble and is not sustainable.

More stocks than ever go up, and they tell you that it's a parabolic melt up, and just you wait....

I hope you're paying attention.

Europe is hitting new all-time highs. Hong Kong is hitting new highs. The US Indexes hit new all-time highs 2 weeks ago, and are just a few points below those levels.

Yet despite all of that, we're seeing bearish extreme readings that have rarely ever been seen before in history.

This is what a bull market feels like.

I've been through them. I've fought some of them. I learned all this all the hard way. By paying attention. By making dumb mistakes along the way.

The bottom line is this: Stocks go up in bull markets. People just don't want to embrace it.

Textbook.

So we're thrilled about it obviously because as we discussed on Monday night, we've been buying the crap out of these China stocks, and Europe and Industrials and so many other areas that are working so well this year.

Buying stocks during bull markets is historically a sound strategy, particularly when sentiment is this bearish.

So that's what we've been doing.

Why would we do anything else?

Click here to see exactly what I'm buying, why I'm buying it, and what I'm looking to buy next.

It's time.

You earned it.
