My "new highs" screener hits today ... bare bones. A bounce has to be coming any day now.

*60 days, not 6 days

Water Utilities have been performing strongly during this market dump. But one of them is an odd standout: $ARIS

Correlation matrix of closing prices over the last 6 days attached.

I run this "trend check" on some of the major index ETFs weekly, the first time seeing them all flipped to red in over two years , I think.

Some are very recent, so a bounce here wouldn't be shocking.

It smells like there will be more trouble ahead for the US markets at the very least. Let's see!

So far I've been proven right. February is back to a positive month after I stopped my long position trades and just focused on option trades that are short term, and downside favoring.

It's still not clear if this is a brief digestion period or if we are in for a big downside ride.

Talk about the timing of stopping the newsletter on Feb 16th to focus on my trading strategy. Had I not done that and just done the same ol' setups - huge losses would have followed.

The markets just felt very very different and I knew what I was doing in 2023/2024 will not work.

because many of the stocks there are coming out of a multi year down trends and are potentially reversing. This could be a multi-year rally to the other direction.

I have stopped doing the newsletter and have been working on the trading related things behind the scenes but still doing my weekly reviews etc internally.

REITs and Insurance related stocks are hot again. REITs are looking especially interesting .... 1/n

Troy ounce, something about it that sounds so good. I want to be weighed at troy ounces 😀

The selloff in the Long Momo Factor on Monday was a ≈7 sigma event and the third largest decline in 40 years. $JPM

Thanks! I like your explanation better than DeepSeek narrative.

I felt like someone wanted to raid NVDA speculators, did some fine work to set themselves up, and then kicked off the "party" to rake in the profits.

“regardless of what you think about deepseek, the point is, when you have narrative-driven exuberance that pumps speculative assets tied to that narrative to extremes, it creates the conditions for sudden large selloffs in those assets. and those can run very far” Benn Eifert
