The Best Morning Show In Finance

December 2, 2024

Join us this morning and every weekday LIVE at 8:30AM ET for the Best Morning Show in Finance.

I know there were some shows out there before we got here. And there are certainly folks out there trying to create new morning shows.

Good luck!

Their friends aren't as smart as our friends. Their friends aren't as cool as ours.

And their friends aren't willing to open up and share their thoughts with the world as regularly as our friends.

I know we're blessed. Not everyone can have a crew like ours. And that's why I introduce them to you every single weekday. It's the least I can do.

Founder Sardar Biglari Reports a $1 Million BH Purchase

December 2, 2024

Today’s insider transactions feature a couple of power moves worth noting.

First up, Sardar Biglari, the founder, chairman, and CEO of Biglari Holdings Inc $BH, reported a significant insider buy of $1 million via a Form 4 filing. 

Biglari is known for his hands-on leadership and calculated investments, making this a bold vote of confidence in his company’s outlook.

Biglari now owns about $26.5 million worth of class A common stock.

Meanwhile, over at retail giant Walmart Inc $WMT, director Robert Edward Moritz Jr. scooped up 5,446 shares worth nearly $500,000.

Here’s The Hot Corner, with data from November 29, 2024:

 

Over at OPKO Health $OPK, the chairman and CEO doubled down with a personal purchase of $305,376. Dr. Phillip Frost is a serial inside buyer, so we won’t make much of this specific purchase.

Last but not least, director...

Most Important Charts in America

November 30, 2024

The month of November is officially over.

A lot happened this month. 

And it would be foolish to ignore it. So we're doing the opposite. We're leaning in and pressing our bets.

Look at the Small-cap Indexes both making new all-time highs. The S&P600 Small-cap Index and Russell2000 Small-cap Index are completing multi-year bases and just beginning their next leg higher:

 

Another major base being completed right now is in the Dow Jones Transportation Average. 

We had seen the strength in Logistics stocks, Marine Shippers and even resiliency among Railroads and Truckers. It was really just the Airline stocks that needed to stop falling.

And that's precisely what happened.

Look at the new all-time highs in the Dow Transports:

 

Keep in mind that while we're continuing to see more and more of the most important indexes breaking out to new all-time highs, the usual suspects are also still doing their thing.

Look at the S&P500 and Nasdaq100 both hitting new all-time highs, again.

 

All of this strength in the S&P500 and Nasdaq100 is coming at a time where...

Game On: Betting Big on the Hottest Gaming Stocks

November 29, 2024

When I was a kid, I loved to play video games. I spent endless hours on Mario Bros, FIFA, and Call of Duty. Those games were my favorites!

Now, I see them in a whole new light—as an opportunity to profit in the market.

Gaming and eSports are a hot spot right now, and the stocks tied to it are embarking on new uptrends.

A great way to tap into this space is through the VanEck Video Gaming and eSports ETF $ESPO.

 

After over three years of absolutely no progress, ESPO is finally breaking out to new all-time highs.

Buyers are in full control and as long as we’re above the 2021 highs, gaming is a group that I want to lean on for long exposure.

When I dive into the holdings, I see a lot of great-looking setups that make this space even more attractive.

Let’s hit the charts.

I’m Nuking My Portfolio

November 29, 2024

With so many stocks joining in on the bull market, it can be hard to keep track of leadership.

But one group that definitely stands out and deserves a mention is Uranium and Nuclear Energy.

These stocks were big leaders during the commodity bull run of 2020-2021, and they have been major leaders again in recent months.

But, it’s less about the recent relative strength, and more about the structural patterns at play.

Here’s the industry leader, Cameco $CCJ breaking out of a monster base:

 

After more than a decade of underperformance for the alternative energy stock, CCJ is breaking out to new all-time highs just as it looks to reverse trend versus the broader market. 

The trend reversal shown in the lower pane suggests more leadership from CCJ in the future.

How can you not buy this 18-year base breakout? 

And when benchmarked against its industry peers instead of the S&P 500, it’s clear CCJ is the premier vehicle in its space.

 

This chart shows it climbing steadily higher versus the Global X Uranium ETF...

(Commodities Weekly) Thankful For Higher Prices

November 29, 2024

My cousin wasn't asking me about crypto during this year's Thanksgiving feast. 

Instead, he wanted to know which commodity to buy after the historic cocoa trade.

Without hesitation, I told him, "coffee."

And I really believe that!

Let's talk about why.

Our Soft Commodity Index is testing a critical level of interest:

 

The index peaked and rolled over in 2011 and has carved out a massive basing pattern in the years since then. If and when the bulls resolve this pattern, we want to be long.

On a relative basis, soft commodities are printing fresh 52-week highs versus the broader commodity complex. This is precisely what we're looking for in a leadership group, and we expect this outperformance to continue for the foreseeable future.

Cocoa futures recently resolved a 45-year base and put the bears in a dirt nap, and we think coffee futures are up next:

 

As you can see, coffee is at its highest level since it peaked in 1977, following a face-ripping 600% rally in two years.

A close above 340 would mark the end of a nearly 50-year consolidation and the beginning of a new uptrend. 

And we suspect...

The Hall of Famers (11-29-2024)

November 29, 2024

From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza

Our Hall of Famers list is composed of the 150 largest US-based stocks.

These stocks range from the mega-cap growth behemoths like Apple and Microsoft – with market caps in excess of $2T – to some of the new-age large-cap disruptors such as Moderna, Square, and Snap.

It has all the big names and more.

It doesn’t include ADRs or any stock not domiciled in the US. But don’t worry; we developed a separate universe for that. Click here to check it out.

The Hall of Famers is simple.

We take our list of 150 names and then apply our technical filters so the strongest stocks with the most momentum rise to the top.

Let’s dive right in and check out what these big boys are up to.

Trump Is Good For China

November 29, 2024

How many people do you know have Chinese stocks as the biggest winner of the Trump landslide victory?

I don't anyone, and I talk to a lot of people.

Traders and Investors are simply NOT positioned for it.

They're all just assuming Trump is going to be bad for Chinese stocks, with tariffs and rocket beef and whatever else....

I think it's great. We're happy to take the other side of their (already priced in) pessimistic views.

Here is the CSI 300 Index, which is basically the S&P500 of China. Look at the double bottom, followed by the most violent momentum thrust in the history of Chinese equities, and now the consolidation post election.

It's time...

I'm Thankful for Good Data

November 29, 2024

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year. It's not even close.

So from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for all of your support over the years. You have no idea how much you mean to me and how appreciative we are for all the emails, comments, feedback and love that you gave us throughout 2024 and all of the years before that.

Seriously. Thank you. 

Thanksgiving to me means Family, Friends, Football, Red Burgundy and Good Eats.

I know there are a few unfortunate souls out there who don't like Turkey. So if you're one of those, I can tell you for a fact, that it's only because you haven't had my Turkey yet!

You're invited next year.

I love Thanksgiving so much that we celebrate it at least one or two more times throughout the year, once in the Spring and probably one more time in early September.

Don't come at me with "Turkey isn't good". Maybe your turkey might not be great, but for the rest of us who know how to prepare it properly, there are few meals throughout the year that are as good as this one! 

Facts only.

And so speaking of facts, the thing that I am most grateful this year, from an...
