The Next Rotation Is Already Starting

Posted by Trend Signal Forex Now

Saturday, February 14, 2026

While most traders were glued to tech, something else was happening under the surface.

Capital was rotating. Quietly. Methodically. Into a completely different area of the market.

Inside Breakout Multiplier, members weren't reacting after the fact, they were positioned early. Seven energy trades. Seven winners. The Chevron calls alone ran over 9x. Not luck. Structure, flow, and timing.

Right now, a similar setup is developing again. Different sector. Same compression, same accumulation, same pre-breakout behavior that tends to precede the biggest moves.

If you're inside, you'll see the watchlist, the alerts, and the positioning as it unfolds. If you're not, you're likely seeing the move only after it's already obvious.

The President's Day pricing window is still open for now: $1,000 off annual or $100/month off — but it won't last.

You can secure the reduced rate here.

Welcome back for another Top Down Trade of the Week.

We start with the best sectors, then drill into the subgroups. We pick one, and then take a look at the top stocks in it.

Today's standout is Utilities, which has catapulted itself into 2nd place in our sector rankings.

Most recently Utilities have been leading the charge with demand for power and the story around AI data centers continuing to drive buyer interest.

Here's a look at our overall industry rankings, which show Multi-Utilities as one of the biggest climbers for the week — up 22 spots to crack the top 10.

The sector is well represented within the Industry ranks table, with multiple groups appearing in the top 20.

This AI powered retailer outperformed NVIDIA

Posted by Trend Signal Forex Now

Saturday, February 14, 2026

Investors have serious FOMO when it comes to AI stocks.

But ask most people what these companies actually do (beyond spending staggering amounts of money).

That's why I've never been comfortable chasing high-flying tech stocks promising to "change the world."

The upside looks exciting, but the risks are almost always misunderstood.

Sure, you can make extraordinary gains betting on the next big thing.

But there's another way to participate in every major technology cycle—one that's often overlooked.

It involves investing in boring, well-known consumer businesses that quietly use new technology to improve margins, pricing power, and execution.

Over the last 20 years, that approach has helped me compound my capital more than 70x!

Not by chasing hype, but by understanding how technology actually shows up in real businesses.

On Thursday, February 19th at 4pm ET, I'm going to walk you through exactly how this works.

I know that sounds crazy, but take a look at this chart.

You'll see AI hardware companies like NVIDIA, TSMC, and ASML…

AI software companies like Palantir, Microsoft, and Alphabet…

And a "boring" consumer brand your kids and grandkids have probably told you about a million times that outperformed them all.

Build-a-Bear Workshop (NYSE: BBW) went from $2 in early 2021 to an all time high of $76 per share in September 2025 – a 3,700% increase!

And unlike the high flying technology stocks that have futuristic products you probably don't understand…

With valuations that make absolutely no sense…

Build-A-Bear is a profitable company trading at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 11.6, compared to an estimated forward P/E ratio of 23.6 for the S&P 500.

They operate at a 55% growth margin that any software investor would drool over…

And they have ZERO debt on their balance sheet.

This means there's still plenty of room for the stock to compound returns WITHOUT runaway valuation issues or diluting the crap out of investors.

And importantly, its growth didn't depend on speculative, unproven technology that required billions in capital.

They sell teddy bears at malls.

If you wanted to do your own research, you could have walked into a store, tried the product, and talked to customers.

That's a lot easier than trying to reverse-engineer how a hyperscaler or AI platform really makes its money.

Build-A-Bear's story is a familiar one in retail: a "turnaround rerate" driven by better leadership and better execution.

And quietly, it's also shaping up to be an undercover beneficiary of AI—using personalization, automation, and data to increase single-store sales and improve margins.

So why didn't most investors hear about it?

Because it wasn't marketed as a "pure AI" stock.

It was a consumer business using technology the right way…

Improving business metrics investors care about and reward!

I know it can feel like the only way to build serious wealth is by betting on speculative technology stocks everyone else is talking about.

But I've found the most sustainable way to grow capital is by investing in businesses you actually understand—especially during major technology shifts.

That's what we'll cover on Thursday, February 19th at 4pm ET.

If you've ever felt like you were guessing on a tech stock because "everyone else owns it," this session will be a relief.

You don't have to be a technology expert to make life changing gains from technology trends.

You just need a framework for identifying companies that are leveraging technology into higher earnings.

If you'd like to learn the approach I've used to consistently beat the market with a focused portfolio of 8–10 "boring" consumer stocks…

Block off 45 minutes on Thursday, February 19th at 4pm EST and I'll show you how you can do the same.

The AI panic is real (and it's not going away)

Posted by Trend Signal Forex Now

Saturday, February 14, 2026

Welcome to The Strazza Letter, a free note with market insights from me, All Star Charts Chief Market Strategist Steve Strazza.

DeepSeek just dropped a model that's cheaper, faster, and arguably better than anything OpenAI or Anthropic has put out.

And in response, the market absolutely nuked big tech. Microsoft, Nvidia, Meta, Google—all down double digits. Over $1 trillion in market cap gone in a matter of days.

Now every SaaS company, every software business, every "AI-powered" startup is scrambling to figure out if they even have a moat anymore.

Because if a Chinese lab can build something better for a fraction of the cost, what exactly are you paying premium multiples for?

And here's the uncomfortable truth: This isn't going away.

This is the new reality. AI isn't just disrupting other industries anymore—it's disrupting the companies that were supposed to BENEFIT from AI.

The cannibalization is happening in real time, and retail traders are getting slaughtered.

But here's what most people don't understand: When money flows OUT of one sector, it flows INTO another. That's a rotation.

And if you know how to read them, you don't sit there bag-holding Microsoft hoping it bounces back. You pivot. You follow the flow. You position where the money's actually going.

That's exactly what we did in October. While everyone was still piling into tech, I started seeing institutional accumulation in energy. The charts were building bases. Volatility was compressing.

The Squeeze Engine was lighting up on Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Exxon.

So we positioned. And over the next four months, we caught seven straight winners. Chevron ran 925%. ConocoPhillips 582%. Kinder Morgan 549% in six days.

Not one loser. Not one.

And now it's happening again.

I've got five setups on my watchlist that are showing the exact same structural patterns energy showed back then.

Tight consolidation. Accumulation. Volatility compression. Relative strength starting to diverge from the broader market.

These aren't tech stocks. These aren't AI plays. These are names in a sector that's being completely ignored right now while everyone panics about DeepSeek and ChatGPT. And that's exactly why they're setting up.

Inside Breakout Multiplier, you'll see these five setups in real time. You'll get the alerts when we enter.

You'll be in the weekly strategy sessions where we walk through how to manage the positions as they develop.

And if the pattern holds like it did with energy, you'll be sitting in multi-bagger winners while everyone else is still trying to figure out if Microsoft is done falling.

Right now through Monday at midnight, you can lock in $1,000 off annual or $100/month off. After that, we're back to full price.

Join Breakout Multiplier before Monday's deadline

The AI panic isn't going away. But you don't have to sit there and bleed with everyone else. There's a rotation happening right now. You can either see it or you can't.

Steve Strazza | Chief Market Strategist, All Star Charts

P.S. I'm not here to tell you tech is dead forever. I'm here to tell you that RIGHT NOW, the money is flowing somewhere else. And if you're not positioned for it, you're going to miss it just like you missed energy.

Stop bleeding. Start positioning. Join before Monday
