Sector Rotation In Full Force

There's not much to say here, the market continues to work itself higher, and sector rotation is in full force. It's like a relay race. One sector passing the baton to another every couple of days.

The State Of The Union is tonight, and it will be interesting to see what industries Trump mentions. So far he has spoken about Uranium quite a bit and infrastructure ($URA, $VMC, $MLM).

I have a small watch-list today but with some promising names; $HES, $GUSH, $MRO.

Here's the entire list;

We have an interest in these stocks if and only if they can get through yesterday's high plus .10-cents, that is typically where out buy stops will be. This single criterion will narrow down your list to a handful of names unless of course, the market is super strong. You can also narrow down the list by float, price, sector, preference, etc.

These ideas are what we consider swing trades that can last anywhere from 1-10 days. Most stocks if not all go through momentum burst that lasts 1-10 days, that momentum burst is what we look to take advantage of.

Work With Me

We live in a world in which we are bombarded with information, tweets, blogs, etc., content is the new salesman, content is the new marketing, content is the new networking. With information being so readily available, bloggers try to differentiate themselves with their writing skills, volume, and consistency, putting out blog posts to meet quotas. We are seeking to stand out from the crowd by showing performance, by taking all the information and seeking alpha, that’s the sole purpose of the blog. It won’t always be pretty; it’s never easy, and performance is spotty, but we seek superior risk-adjusted returns, not notoriety for our writing skills.  If this is something you can relate to, then this blog is for you.

TOP 20 INDUSTRIES

A bulk of a stock’s move is due to the underlying sector/industry; a rising tide can lift all boats. Keeping track of the best performing sectors/industries and the stocks within the sectors/industries is a great way to narrow down the stock universe to the strongest stocks in the currently favored industries.

Knowing the top 20 sectors is a starting point, what you want to do next is narrow down stocks within the sectors to a manageable list. You can narrow down the list in many different ways; market cap, price per share, earnings/revenue growth, etc. I like to narrow down the list by creating a scan that shows me the stocks that are not extended based on how far they are away from their respective 20-day moving average. This particular scan will only show me the stocks that are within 3% of their 20-day moving average.

This Year Is In The Bag

The market continues to climb a never-ending wall of worry. Yesterday we were blessed with a historical stat that states, when January and February are up the rest of the year, is positive, and it has been positive 14 out of the last 16 occurrences.  You can pack your bags now and buy the $SPY and call it a year ( I kid). And if you want to outperform the SPY this year then just buy the $SSO.

We also have countless mentions of how the $VIX will stay low, and this is the new normal. I believe that markets go up and down not up or down and these stats are more relevant to me when the market is down.

I have a few names on my watch-list today that look interesting.

Here's the list;

We have an interest in these stocks if and only if they can get through yesterday's high plus .10-cents, that is typically where out buy stops will be. This single criterion will narrow down your list to a handful of names unless of course, the market is super strong. You can also narrow down the list by float, price, sector, preference, etc.

What's Working

Huge gap downs in SP500 stocks are currently being bought. Take a look at the chart below (click to enlarge), and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. What is happening very simply is that there's very little to no follow through to the downside after the huge gap downs and the stocks almost immediately go into recovery mode.

$UAA $RL $MAT are three SP500 stocks worth keeping an eye on to see if they can recover like the above SP500 stocks after their gap down.

Looking At Coal

There's not much to say today, the SP500 is pulling back a little, all normal action, like I said yesterday; the market goes up and down not up or down.

Donald Trump said some positives thing about coal yesterday, I have a few coal-related stocks on my list today; $WLB, $ARCH, $CLD and $CNX. There's been some recent insider buying in $CNX.

Today, President Donald J. Trump signed House Joint Resolution 38 to stop the costly Stream Protection Rule from further harming coal workers and the communities that depend on them. H.J.Res. 38 blocks an overly burdensome regulation that threatened the coal industry with millions of dollars in compliance costs, reduced coal production, and fewer jobs.

Since 2009, the coal industry has declined, leaving workers and communities without a lifeline. Over 36,000 jobs have been lost without any relief in sight. From 2009 to 2015, American coal production has declined by over 177,000,000 tons, and over 600 coal mines have closed. H.J.Res. 38 will give coal country relief from these harmful regulations created under the Obama Administration.

During the campaign, President Trump promised coal workers he would support them and reverse the harmful actions of the past administration. Since taking office, President Trump has been steadfast in his commitment to reducing the regulatory burden on all Americans, their pocketbooks, and their businesses. President Trump has required that for every new Federal regulation, two existing regulations be eliminated.

Here is the rest of the list;

We have an interest in these stocks if and only if they can get through yesterday's high plus .10-cents, that is typically where out buy stops will be. This single criterion will narrow down your list to a handful of names unless of course, the market is super strong. You can also narrow down the list by float, price, sector, preference, etc.

These ideas are what we consider swing trades that can last anywhere from 1-10 days. Most stocks if not all go through momentum burst that lasts 1-10 days that momentum burst is what we look to take advantage of.

Gold Looks Ready To Go

The market continues to ascend unabated, the SP500 is now up 7 days in a row, the QQQ is up 9-days in a row, and the Nasdaq composite is up 8-days in a row. There's a rumor going around that a multi-billion dollar fund which is short volatility and short ES contracts is getting squeezed. Something about a complex options strategy that eats like a bird but shits like an elephant (selling naked calls). In the very short-term it is hard to get overly excited on the long side because the market goes up and down not up or down. However, my scans are still spitting out a decent amount of good set-ups, today specifically in the gold sector.

$JNUG $GSV $IAG $RGLD $AUY $SBGL are the gold stocks of interest today if and only if they can get through yesterday's high.

Big League Day For The Market

Yesterday was a great day for the market and for our watchlist led by $X and $COTV.

Not many names are on the list today partly due to the great action yesterday.

Here's the list; $TECK $PI $MTL $TMST

The Little Engine That Could

The market continues to chug along; the SP500 is just moving sideways, Russell 2000 as well and the Q's and Nasdaq composite are leading.

There's a big snowstorm on the east coast, but I'm sure the machines will still make it to work.

Here's my watch-list for today; $PI, $GS, $X, $BRKB, $EXP

Volatility Is Now A Foregone Conclusion

There's not much to say about the market here (SP500), it's been trading sideways since December 12, 2016. The Nasdaq 100 and the Nasdaq composite have been leading while the Russell 2000 has been marking time.

Biotechs are showing signs of life, oil stocks can't catch a bid, and shippers are trending.

For a couple of weeks many were talking about volatility rising and ways to play it, and now we are seeing the opposite.

$GOGL $CELG $PI $LPG $CRNT are a few of the stocks on my watchlist that I will be keeping a close eye on today.

Can The Jobs Number Take Us Out Of The Range

The Job Numbers are out and the market likes it so far, SPY is up $1 pre-market. I'm a fan of gap ups when I'm fully loaded, not so much when I have decent long watch-list. Gap-ups make it tricky when you are looking to buy stocks.

My list is long today; there are many great set-ups. I will focus a little extra on $CNAT, $CRNT, $WLB, and $ENG.

My Favorite Set Up

Karyopharm Therapeutics, $KPTI, is emerging from an 11-month base. I'm always intrigued by bases because typically a prolonged period of contraction leads to an extended period of expansion. We have covered bases extensively here (SEE BELOW) on the blog, and it's my favorite set up.

Stan Weinstein, the author of Secrets For Profiting In Bull and Bear Markets, has a great definition the "basing area," specifically the one's that are formed after being down for several months.

The Basing Area: "After XYZ has been declining for several months, it eventually will lose downside momentum and start to trend sideways. What's actually taking place is that buyers and sellers are starting to move into equilibrium, whereas previously the sellers were far stronger, which is why the stock had plummeted. Volume will usually lessen--dry up--as a base forms. But often volume will start to expand late stage 1, even though prices remain little changed. This is an indication that dumping of the stock by disgruntled owners is no longer driving down the price. The buyers who are moving in to take the stock off their hands are not demanding any significant price concession."

That's exactly what is happening with $KPTI, it has been going sideways for 11-months and now you see a pattern of higher lows. Very simply, the buyers are no longer waiting to buy the stock near the bottom of the base, they want it now, they see greener pastures ahead.

Market Moving Events Are Still Ahead

We have a busy next few days coming up, we have a Fed announcement today, $FB reports today, $AMZN tomorrow and the Job numbers on Friday. It is always hard to press in front of potential market moving events.

Biotechs had a great day yesterday and believe that can continue in the short term. Today we are focusing on $AERI, $OCLR, $CLF, $KPTI.

Here is the rest of our long watchlist today;

We have an interest in these names if and only if they go through yesterday's high plus .10 cents. We want to buy these stocks on the move and not anticipate the move. These ideas are what we consider swing trades that can last anywhere from 1-10 days. Most stocks if not all go through a momentum burst that lasts 1-10 days and that is what we look to take advantage of.
