The crowd is excited again. Growth stocks are at all-time highs. The latest development is the NASDAQ golden cross. Wall Street has a lot to cheer about. Many of the world’s most important companies are breaking out to all-time highs. Microsoft (MSFT), NVIDIA (NVDA), and Broadcom (AVGO) which lead the A.I. race, have soared to […]
The unthinkable happened. 2 short months ago, stocks recorded record outflows. Fast forward to today, stocks are overbought. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Rarely does the crowd get rich together. It takes a data-driven action plan to create the courage to entertain unconventional ideas. And the fun isn’t over yet. My call […]
The crowd is finally in agreement. Investing in stocks is a great idea. This has the potential to ignite forced flows and a blowoff top. It’s simple. The biggest returns come from buying when the crowd is most fearful. At the market low on April 10th, I gave a presentation suggesting a breath-taking rally is […]
Growth stocks are making highs daily. One of the greatest risk-on environments is unfolding before our eyes. You need to prepare for extreme overbought conditions. Today’s message is simple: Not only are new all-time highs coming for markets, the evidence points to a sustained rally ahead. Let’s rewind the tape. One month ago, I warned […]
The epic rally stalled. Many are describing the setback as an elaborate unsolvable debt spiral. I think it’s simpler…and it all kicked off last Friday. Let’s unpack Moody’s USA credit downgrade and make evidence-based forward projections. On Friday, Moody’s downgraded the United States credit rating to Aa1 from Aaa, citing the one-notch downgrade…reflects the increase over more […]
The equity rally has been breath-taking. A month ago, the crowd capitulated. Today they are buying in droves. Let’s unpack the market rally breadth & future projections. Here’s an interesting fact. Stare into a mirror and your reflection will appear double the distance. Standing 5 feet away from the looking glass will reflect an image […]
A month ago, stocks crashed. Pundits claimed equities were “uninvestable.” Instead, the unthinkable happened. Brand new leadership and a mid-cap surge has emerged, and this breath-taking rally has legs to run. Consider this: Estimates suggest that 80% of forest fires are human caused. What’s important is what occurs once the flames burn out. Nature eventually […]
Just 3 weeks ago, the pundits had you believe stocks were damned. Today the crowd is stunned. We’re witnessing 7 consecutive days of green. Extreme capitulation often triggers forced buying. Headline tape bombs took us on an adventure in April. In no particular order, here’s what I vividly remember: (Luke owns both MSFT and META.) […]
Stocks may have bottomed. Capitulation appears long gone. There’s a rare volatility crash signal also appearing. Recapping tariff headlines is futile. One minute there’s no deal, then there’s a deal, and after that there’s another wrinkle to sort through. Good luck connecting those dots. A better use of time and effort is studying patterns of […]
It’s been a challenging few weeks. Stocks are falling. Investors are scared. Then we find out that the S&P 500 formed a death cross. Tariffs are causing extreme uncertainty. Arguably the most important company in the world, NVIDIA (NVDA), is the latest headline casualty. The company announced a multibillion-dollar charge related to chips sold to […]
We’re in interesting times indeed. Yesterday’s Liberation Day speech is sending equities spiraling lower. There’s a thread of good news: The tariff impact could send the Big Money Index oversold. The amount of news coverage and estimates forecasting the twisting economic path will make your head spin. While the market pullback is painful and nauseating […]
The equity meltdown continues. Whipsaws are nauseating. We’re witnessing the weakest breadth since October 2023. Negativity is commonplace right now. Investors fear tariffs, the path of interest rates, inflation, DOGE, and more. This cocktail of uncertainty has the crowd fearing for the worst. I’m here to offer up a different more constructive view…one that’s grounded […]
We’ve been front and center during the latest equity wipeout. As headlines churn from tariffs to recession worries, our stance has been to buy into the meltdown. The evidence points to the worst being behind us. Forced ETF liquidations are over. One tenet of great investing is to take the other side of the crowd. […]
Question: If you haven’t bought the dip yet, what are you waiting for? Answer: An oversold Big Money Index (BMI). We’ve got a lot going on with equities: All of these worries we have no control over. That’s the unfortunate news. Everything is unfolding in real time. Don’t fret. There is forced selling occurring under-the-surface of the […]
Wall Street is a waiting game. Traders make hay when volatility strikes. Ultimately, fear pays the bills. Professional traders’ P&L follows the Pareto principle, also known as the 80/20 rule. 80% of the profits come from 20% of the setups. This is accurate as I vividly remember how lucrative forced selling events were. The capitulation […]
2025 is turning out to be choppier than the last 2 years. DeepSeek fears saw equities plunge…now the latest economic worries hit real world sectors. Heavy rotations were spotted the last 3 days. And that’s good news. Industrial sector capitulation is a buy signal. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Money rarely leaves […]

It should come as no surprise that money is chasing high-quality Tech stocks. MAPsignals has been bullish in the face of so much negativity lately: While we aren’t always […]
Stocks are washed out. If our data could talk, it’d yell the following: When the Big Money Index plummets, go buy stocks. Let’s face it. It’s been a lonely road keeping a bullish outlook. Bearish worries about elevated interest rates, a strong dollar, and a potential reignition of inflation have ruled the media headlines. How […]

A new year offers a new start… …and big opportunities. Here are 3 reasons to buy stocks in January 2025.

If you’re considering cashing out simply because this rally […]
Many investors gave up on stocks earlier this month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) recorded a drought… falling 9 days consecutively. As scary as it sounds, this ultra rare oversold signal is undefeated. Last week we told you to be thankful for hidden capitulation under the surface. Massive outflows lead to mega rebounds. In a […]
Stocks were sold with abandon. Be thankful. Rare capitulation signals big gains ahead. Volatile markets are never fun. Yesterday’s Fed presser sent shockwaves across equity markets. Nothing was spared. Correlation approached 1. The S&P Small Cap 600 fell 4%. The S&P Mid Cap 400 fell 3.84%. The mighty large cap S&P 500 collapsed 2.95%. That’s […]
The crowd-stunning rally keeps going. Don’t be shocked if growth stocks keep working. Another bullish omen is flaring for the NASDAQ. Equities remain in a firm uptrend. Small, Mid, and growthier pockets of the market are under healthy accumulation. Our bias towards owning SMID caps is still in place. Afterall, plenty of capital has been reappraising those […]
When all hope is lost, we yell to buy stocks. When all hope is found, we enjoy the ride. 2025 is set to be a stock picker’s market.

Every now and then, a stat jumps off the screen. While major indices climb to new highs, certain areas are being liquidated. One group in particular triggered extreme outflows. The great news is this oversold signal is undefeated. Consider this. Going back thousands of years, humans have gazed at the sky in search of answers. […]
The equity seas are shifting. A new wave of leadership has gripped the market. The Trump 2.0 rally is only just starting. Most would agree, it’s an exciting time to be an investor. Forgotten sleeper stocks, like PayPal (PYPL), Shopify (SHOP), Carvana (CVNA) and Palantir (PLTR) have suddenly sprung to life recently (Disclosure: I own […]
The verdict is in. The GOP won across the board. Here’s your 2024 post-election playbook. Heading into the election, our data signaled volatility risk into and after the vote.

Equities saw their worst daily pullback in weeks. Our Big Money Index signals pullback ahead. Yesterday was a reminder that volatility can strike out of nowhere. The S&P 500 declined .92%. Even more jarring, the NASDAQ 100 fell 1.55%, its single worst performance in 6 weeks. This pullback came just as the Big Money Index […]
Happy anniversary! One year ago today, extreme oversold conditions ignited a rally for the ages. Today, it’s time to acknowledge the other extreme: Stocks finally reach the rare overbought zone.
