I just updated my Net Highs/Lows tool to help make it more flexible and provide deeper analysis.

The latest version adds the option to select the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 indexes for analysis in addition to the existing exchange options.

It also includes the option to show a dot…

A more sizable breakdown in the indexes would likely set up the next strong bull market leg higher. Beneath the surface, stocks have already corrected as long as we did last summer (see chart below), with most Nasdaq stocks now sitting below their 50-day moving averages - only…

Risk management is always the most important aspect of investing, but what risks do we need to guard against? And if we identify risks, how do we guard against them?

I've stumbled my way into many trading situations where I had to learn hard lessons about what I need to prepare…

Earnings season has become that four times a year wild card where we don't really know what will happen. Last quarter saw both huge 20 to 30% gap ups and downs on stocks of all sizes, including very large-cap stocks.

As someone who likes to trade concentratedly, I needed a…

The Nasdaq Composite market has had 3 consecutive days of Net Lows despite indexes sitting near all-time highs (Red bars below chart). It has also undergone a spat of increased volume on down days and light volume on up days. The action is typical of a top (See 2021 chart below),…

Institutional selling usually happens on the way up and over time. Four of the last eight sessions have seen distribution on the Nasdaq composite (Big drops on increasing volume). This has coincided with tepid net highs (green bars below chart), stalling action in leaders, and…

We always think of what to buy, when to buy, and how to buy. But that's just one small part of an investing strategy. It's like designing a car and only focusing on its engine. It took me many years to design a full strategy that suits me. Every mistake was another step I had to…

What part of your trading strategy is missing? Trading is so deceptive because you can do great for a long time until you don't realize you are missing a key part of your strategy - and it's typically only after you are blindsided by the market. That can result in either missing…

When you catch hold of a leader, you gain…

What is your definition of a Market Leader? We all want to own one, but what exactly is it? I'm curious your answers...this whole market since October has been about owning leaders or being left behind... I'll share my thoughts about, but I'd like to see how people define it

If you find yourself frustrated, always selling near market lows and struggling to catch up, buying after big weeks like this past week, chances are, you suffer from low confidence in your strategy, or you don't have a well designed strategy...
This only builds more frustration…
