My "new highs" screener hits today ... bare bones. A bounce has to be coming any day now.

Water Utilities have been performing strongly during this market dump. But one of them is an odd standout: $ARIS

I run this "trend check" on some of the major index ETFs weekly, the first time seeing them all flipped to red in over two years , I think.

Some are very recent, so a bounce here wouldn't be shocking.

Talk about the timing of stopping the newsletter on Feb 16th to focus on my trading strategy. Had I not done that and just done the same ol' setups - huge losses would have followed.

The markets just felt very very different and I knew what I was doing in 2023/2024 will not work.

I have stopped doing the newsletter and have been working on the trading related things behind the scenes but still doing my weekly reviews etc internally.

REITs and Insurance related stocks are hot again. REITs are looking especially interesting .... 1/n

Also dropped in some commentary on #quantum #computing, seems like speculators are picking it up!

Lots of people pointing out this is the sweet spot, seasonally, for small-caps -- but somebody needs to tell the small-caps.
