Tuesday, March 31, 2026 Yesterday, Sam and I hosted our first Supercycle Report members call with more than 100 new members…   And we wound up talking about one of the most important things everyone needs to understand about trading commodities.   Yes, you can theoretically make 10,000%+ returns trading commodities (specifically, futures)… But if you're going to go after the types of incredible returns you can make with commodities…   You have to learn how to trade these stocks the right way.   Here's what I mean…   You can't trade commodity stocks with tight stop losses.   Look, it's a free country.   If you want to use trailing stops, use them. If you don't want to use them, that's fine too.   But here's what you need to understand before you decide.   If you're trading a very volatile sector — like small-cap energy — and you've got a 10% trailing stop on your position…   You're never gonna make any money with that.   It's gonna hit your stop every other week and you're just gonna get chopped up to death.   Thats because commodity sectors are fundamentally different from the S&P 500.    If you look at the drawdowns in SPY compared to the drawdowns in something like XME or GDX…    They look totally different.    In order to trade these names, you need to have wide stops — over 20% in most cases — to ride these commodity cycles.    That's exactly what I do.   Because here's the thing everyone needs to understand about commodity volatility…   It's not the problem. It's the reason we're here.   The most volatile asset classes have historically produced the highest returns for traders who know how to manage them.    That volatility is what creates the opportunity.   And this Thursday, April 2nd at 2pm ET, we're going to be hosting a free training on how to trade these fast moving commodity stocks the right way.   Click here to register.   Sam and I will be joined by JC Parets for a live session called "Making Money from Inflation."   We're going to cover where energy goes from here…    Which sectors are starting to wake up behind it…   And most importantly, how to size and manage these positions so the volatility works for you instead of against you.   This is the conversation we started Monday. Thursday is where it goes deeper.   It's free. It's live. And we'll have plenty of time for Q&A at the end.   Click here to register for Making Money from Inflation.   See you at 2pm on Thursday.   -Jason Perz Jason Perz | ASC Gold Rush | Save The Bees All Star Charts emails are a financial publication of general circulation and only offers impersonal advice, not tailored to individual needs of a specific client or group.

Eyes on this massive multi-year distribution pattern

Tuesday, March 31, 2026 Do you want to know about the biggest moves before they occur?   Click here and sign up for our new daily note, The Squeeze Watch, and get the tightest coil patterns delivered to your mailbox for free every day. Welcome to The Squeeze Watch.   Here's today's standout.  KKR & Co. $KKR is currently exhibiting a Squeeze Score of 95.1.   Here's what the chart looks like:  KKR has found support near a key level of interest: the prior cycle highs from 2021. With volatility on the Strazza Indicator compressed, the stock appears set up for its next move.   Zooming out, we find a massive multi-year distribution pattern—one of the largest anywhere in the market.   When volatility contracts at a level like this, it often signals that a stock is preparing for its next major move. The key question is whether it resolves in the direction of the broader trend or first delivers a sharp countertrend bounce.   Either way, defining risk through options is usually the cleanest and safest way to approach patterns like this.   If you want access to our Squeeze Engine and our next trade, join Breakout Multiplier here, risk-free.

Follow the Money

Tuesday, March 31, 2026   What You'll Learn in This Post   Why energy leadership doesn't require the rest of the market to collapse What Exxon's multi-decade chart is actually signaling right now How to stop predicting and start reacting to real trends Why leadership spreads — and what that means for the next phase of the cycle People are overthinking this.   There's this idea that energy can only go higher if everything else breaks. That the only way this works is through some kind of market collapse.   Just look at this chart.   Exxon has been through multiple cycles — the 1980s, the 2000s, and now the 2020s.   Every time energy enters a real bull phase, it doesn't move quietly. It expands. It trends. It leads.   And it does that while other parts of the market still function. In the 2000s, energy didn't go up because everything else died. It went up because that's where capital flowed. Same thing in the post-2020 move.   Everything rallied — energy just outperformed.     Not isolation. Not a one-sector trade. Just stronger demand showing up first and most aggressively.   And right now, that's exactly what this chart is showing again.   You don't need to predict oil prices. You don't need to map out every macro scenario. You don't need to guess how this ends.   You just need to react to what's in front of you.   XOM is breaking out on a multi-decade basis. Not a short-term move. Not a bounce. A structural shift.   That's not noise.   That's a signal.   And when you start seeing this kind of behavior in the largest, most liquid names in the space, it usually means one thing — the move isn't isolated. It's spreading.   That's how real trends begin.   They don't ask for permission. They don't wait for confirmation from headlines.   They just start moving.   The question is whether you're paying attention — or still trying to explain it away.   I went live and walked through the commodity rotation pattern that's played out every decade for 50 years, and where it's pointing right now.   The replay is available now. Watch it here before we take it down.
