This is the weekly post that aggregates all the charts we put together throughout the week and organizes them all into one, easy to flip through deck.

Amid historic market volatility, we're looking for uncorrelated trades.

Whether that's Crude Oil, Lumber, or Orange Juice.

Trading commodities doesn't just offer lucrative risk versus reward opportunities, but it also has a very low correlation to other asset classes.

For example, Orange Juice was in a steady uptrend from 2020 until the end of 2024. 

It didn't care about the bear market in 2022. 

And it certainly doesn't care about the bear market in 2025.

This was the best week for the juice since 1998, and we think it has the potential to rally more for the foreseeable future.

Below is my weekly video for members of Macke's Retail Roundup. 

My universe, the land of the consumer, has taken center stage. The eye of the storm, if you will. The center of the volcano. The hottest part of the mantle. 

And every tariff headline sends the market swinging. Last week, it was down. This week...down, then up, then down. We're stuck in a tariff circle of hell. 

So what does this mean for the portfolio? And what am I doing about it? I broke it all down in this week's video.

We’re finally putting on some calls to play the coming rebound rally.

We weren’t about to buy into the upside volatility on Wednesday, and wanted to give the market time for some backing and filling following the historic session.

I think one day is all it needed, though. It’s a fast market. 

Thursday offered the ideal exit liquidity for anyone who wanted it. Now, it’s back to rally mode. 

And where better to go than the single-best US growth stock of the entire cycle…

Here’s Palantir $PLTR:

We are buying the $PLTR 5/2 $100 calls for approximately $2.10 - $2.35 per...

Our International Hall of Famers list is composed of the 100 largest US-listed international stocks, or ADRs.

We've also sprinkled in some of the largest ADRs from countries that did not make the market cap cut. 

These stocks range from some well-known mega-cap multinationals such as Toyota Motor and Royal Dutch Shell to some large-cap global disruptors such as Sea Ltd and Shopify.

It's got all the big names and more–but only those that are based outside the US. You can find all the largest US stocks on our original Hall of Famers list.

The beauty of these scans is really in their simplicity.

We take the largest names each week and then apply technical filters in a way that the strongest stocks with the most momentum rise to the top.

Based on the market environment, we can also flip the scan on its head and filter for weakness.

Let's dive in and take a look at some of the most important stocks from around the world.

Here's this week's list:

In today’s Daily Digest, we’ll review the following:

1. No new positions today.
2. Adjustment to GLD position.
3. No exits since the last report.
4. Current status of open campaigns.
5. Volatility Snapshot.

Let’s dig in!

While global markets have experienced heightened volatility in recent weeks, precious metals have remained a notable area of strength.

The VanEck Gold Miners ETF ($GDX) has just broken out of a major base and is now trading at its highest levels in over 12 years.

If equity markets continue to stabilize, this resilient group could remain a key area of leadership.

As long as $GDX holds above 45, the path of least resistance remains higher.

There's so much happening right now in the markets.

It often seems like there isn't enough time for a bathroom break...

That could be an exaggeration, but it's directionally accurate. ;)

This is why our director of research, Steve Strazza, has been going LIVE every day after the market opens.

He's pulling back the curtain and showing how a successful trader navigates in this market environment.

These videos are so insightful...

You can catch the replay of yesterday's video where he went through his current shopping list (there's so much alpha here).

Now, let's talk about what's happening with this earnings season.

Constellation Brands $STZ reported a double beat with a reaction score of 7.65. The market loved it...

The company reported...

Insider activity was fairly quiet overall, but a significant buy at Nike Inc $NKE dwarves the day’s other transactions.

📌 The most notable insider activity from yesterday’s filings came from the boardroom of Nike $NKE, where Director Bob Swan disclosed a $502,756 purchase.

📌Chairman Mitchell Jacobson filed a Form 4 revealing a $11.1 million purchase in MSC Industrial Direct Co $MSM.

📌 Last but not least, NexPoint Residential Trust $NXRT CFO Paul Richards stepped in with a $193,275 open-market purchase—always a signal worth tracking when it comes from the chief financial officer.

Today's number is... 0.09

The St. Louis Fed Financial Stress Index has risen above the zero line, increasing to 0.09.

Here’s the chart:

Let's break down what the chart shows:

• The blue line represents the price of the S&P 500 index.
• The green/red line represents the St. Louis Fed Financial Stress Index. When the line is green, it indicates that financial market stress is lower than normal. Conversely, when the line is red, it indicates that financial market stress is higher than normal.
• The St. Louis Fed Financial Stress Index measures financial stress in markets and is published by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. This index is constructed from 18 weekly data series: seven interest rate series, six yield spreads, and five other indicators. Each of these components provides insights into different aspects of financial stress.

The Takeaway: Here is another data point for the bears…

The St. Louis Fed Financial Stress Index has reached its highest level of market stress...

My tactical outlook hasn’t changed just because we gave a little back today. 

Wednesday marked one of the largest single-session rallies in market history, and I think it has legs. 

We’re coming off extreme oversold levels with sentiment in washout territory. 

A monster bounce is just around the corner. 

So I’ve been digging through all of our scans over the last few days. Some new, some old. Looking for the best long opportunities. 

They are all different and cover a variety of universes. International stocks, US growth stocks, sector and industry ETFs, commodity stocks, etc. We have something for everything. 

The scans are all similar in a sense that they look to highlight some form of relative strength, momentum, or a combination of the two. 

I’m...

The market’s a rollercoaster right now.

Big moves. Wild swings. Sentiment flipping on a dime.

Intraday ranges are wide, and positions can move fast.

The CBOE Volatility Index $VIX just closed above 45 for three straight sessions this week.

That’s only happened three times in the past 30 years:

🔻 2008 (Great Financial Crisis)

🔻 2020 (Covid)

🔻 2025 (Today)

We’re in an extremely high-volatility environment.

And with the VIX this elevated, here’s a rule of thumb:

VIX ÷ 16 = the expected daily move in the S&P 500.

So, with a ~40 VIX, expect at least a 2.5% per day—in...

I'll be back from a nice family vacation later today and will be LIVE on The Morning Show Friday morning.

Miami is fantastic this time of year. I highly recommend a good vacation, if that's something that you can afford to do.

There was a time in my life that I couldn't afford this kind of thing, so it makes me appreciate it so much more. Many of you already understand this. Some of you will one day.

I wanted to check in and share a few things I've been thinking about while I've been away this week.

One thing that certainly stands out is just how great it is to stay off twitter while you're way with your family.

If you want to make sure you're a bad father, one way to solidify that is to spend all your time tweeting during family vacations. 

I kid. But this is definitely a luxury that I couldn't understand in my younger days. 

There is an incredible team at...

Welcome to the 2nd earnings season of 2025!

We're only 10 calendar days into Q2, but so far, there have been a ton of fireworks.

From Trump's "Obliteration Day," last week, to his pivot yesterday, we know one thing's certain...

There's no telling what'll come next.

Right now, more than ever, it's paramount to stay open-minded.

Without further ado, let's talk about the 1st big earnings report of this quarter.

Delta Air Lines $DAL reported mixed results and had a muted reaction score. 

Yes, the stock was up over 20%...

But it's important to put that in context. Yesterday was a day for the history books.

The company reported revenues of $12.98B, which matched Wall Street's estimate, and earnings per share of $0.46, versus the $0.38 estimate. 

Now let's dive into the data and talk about what happened with this report 👇
