The Average Stock is Being Battered
The average S&P 500 stock is already down almost 20% from its highs – even as earnings estimates keep moving higher. Ross looks at why some of those “discounts” could be very different from others.
Paying Up for Crash Protection
Investors are suddenly paying up to hedge the market. But underneath the indexes, the fear looks very different – and that gap can hide some surprising opportunities.
Retail is Terrified – CEOs are Bullish
Retail investors are suddenly deeply bearish while CEO confidence is at a four-year high. Ross looks at why he wouldn’t blindly trust either one – and what he watches instead.
This Fed Just Hiked – This is What I’m Watching
The Fed just raised rates again, stocks have been struggling, and history says the pace of tightening could make a big difference from here. Ross explains why he’s hunting for stocks that don’t fit the pattern.
This Fed Setup Could Get Violent
Wall Street is braced for a tougher Fed, the median stock is stalling at old highs, and small caps are heavily shorted. Ross looks at why that combination could set up some unusually violent breakouts.
Is the “Big Money” Cutting Risk?
Hedge funds are cutting risk hard across the market – yet one group is seeing some of the strongest buying in years. Ross explains why that divergence is catching his eye.
Bad News for the Market?
A Fed decision, weakening breadth and persistent bearish sentiment all point one way. But there’s a reason that setup may not play out the way most traders expect.
Stocks at Insane Valuations?
The S&P 500 is still near record territory. But one measure of extreme valuation looks far less stretched than you’d expect – and the reason points to something happening underneath the surface.
The Big Economic Surprise
The headlines still sound gloomy. But one broad measure of economic activity just hit its strongest level in more than four years – and corporate forecasts are moving the same way.
Is This Market Breaking Down?
Something underneath this market is deteriorating fast. But another signal is moving in the exact opposite direction.
Waiting for a Signal
September has a terrible historical reputation, but the market still hasn’t given traders the kind of volatility signal that has paid this year. Ross is watching something else instead.
Will the Nasdaq Turn “Ugly” This Month?
