I have a well-developed, heavily researched theory about individual investors – and plenty of empirical data to prove the theory. You’ll have to forgive me, but it goes against what you’ll hear on MarketWatch, CNBC, Fox Business Network, and the like. It’s a theory that has a huge impact on your finances and your future. […]
I look at hundreds of charts weekly… sometimes even daily. And when something sticks out, I want to share it with you right away. Now, I’m not saying these 2 sectors I’ve found are the bottom for them… But the charts alone look like they could be forming a base, which comes together before the […]
Elon Musk pulling his offer for Twitter (TWTR) has been big news in the equities world. TWTR is now suing Musk for breach of contract (with the case set for October). Options traders may believe TWTR still has some upside though over the next year. A large options block trade executed last week suggests the […]

At the moment the oil market at the moment is much like the famous quote from the beginning of “A Tale of Two Cities.” It is a tale of two markets: the futures market for oil (controlled by Wall Street) and the physical market, which reflects the real-world demand for oil. Both factor in many […]
The recent strengthening of the U.S. Dollar has put pressure on risk assets. Looking at recent momentum of the dollar we may be approaching a top. A reversal could benefit sectors that have been getting crushed by a stronger dollar. In today’s video we look at one sector and on equity in particular that could […]
