As we come out of the holidays and turn the calendar, it’s worth remembering where we are in the Presidential Cycle. We’re entering the midterm year – Year 2 of the four-year cycle – and historically, this has been the…
I’ve got three charts for you today – and they matter. Two of them help explain where the market is right now. The third may give us a glimpse of where it’s headed next. That’s how market analysis works. We…
Founder’s Note: Jason Perz is going to share things nobody else in this business is going to share – about himself, about the market, about how to get better. We talk a lot about “doing the work” here at TrendLabs.…
The Dow Jones Industrial Average just closed at a new all-time high. Not a 52-week high. Not an intraday blip. An all-time closing high. This is an index that dates back to the late 1800s. In all those decades –…

The S&P 500 Consumer Discretionary Index (XLY) just closed the week at new all-time highs. If you’re looking for clues about where the stock market is headed over the coming months and quarters, this is one of the most important…
