It was a short week in the market, and the indices are making new highs this morning.

The past few Fridays have been bullish, so we'll see if we hold these pre-market gains.

Wow, what a way to start the month of June.

When investing in the stock market, we always want to approach it as "a market of stocks."

Regardless of the environment, there are always stocks showing leadership and trending higher.

We may have to look harder to identify them depending on current market conditions. But there are always stocks that are going up.

The same can be said for weak stocks. Regardless of the environment, there are always stocks that are going down, too. 

We already have multiple scans focusing on stocks making all-time highs, such as The Hall of Famers, The Minor Leaguers, and The 2 to 100 Club.

We filter these universes for stocks that are exhibiting the best momentum and relative strength characteristics. 

Clearly, we spend a lot of time identifying and writing about leading stocks every week, via multiple reports.

Now, we're also highlighting lagging stocks on a recurring basis.

It's like a hangover: The market was in party mode all last week, and now it's coming off its high.

$SPY has support at 416.70. Below that is 414.51.

The largest insider buy on today's list comes in a Form 4 filing by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway $BRK.A.

In his third filing since May 17, Buffett reported the acquisition of another 4,660,809 shares, equivalent to $272 million.

This is the big question for me right now. Do we get rotation into the sectors that led this market off the lows last June?

We'll be discussing it on our NEW Morning Show today. Make sure to catch us LIVE from 830AM - 10AM ET using this link.

First, here's what I mean.

Today is the last day of May!

We started the month as high as 417 on $SPY and, as of now, we're at 419.

$QQQ was the leader -- the only index that had real strength, the others not so much.

Welcome back to Under the Hood, where we'll cover all the action for the week ended May 26, 2023. This report is published bi-weekly and rotated with The Minor Leaguers.

What we do here is analyze the most popular stocks during the week and find opportunities to either join in and ride these momentum names higher, or fade the crowd and bet against them.

We use a variety of sources to generate the list of most popular names.

There are so many new data sources available that all we need to do is organize and curate them in a way that shows us exactly what we want: a list of stocks that are seeing an unusual increase in investor interest.

The market seemed very slow today after a long holiday weekend.

As of now, the indices are consolidating.
