Dow Highest Close Ever, Again
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 Best of Everybody’s Wrong
Last Christmas, TrendLabs was still just a dream. This Christmas, it’s being fulfilled. Everybody’s Wrong was and will remain my first statement on the stock market under the TrendLabs banner. It’s the flagship, you make it sail, and I’d like…
Materials Have Done Nothing for 3 Years. That’s the Point.
The S&P 500 just closed at another new all-time high. Again. That’s exactly the kind of behavior you expect in a healthy bull market. New highs don’t show up once – they tend to cluster. Another hallmark of strong bull…
We Don’t Have Bull Markets Without Financials

The “Self-Fulfilling Prophecy” Myth
It still amazes me how often I hear otherwise intelligent, experienced market participants dismiss technical analysis as a “self-fulfilling prophecy.” Let’s be clear about what that claim actually implies. Saying technical analysis is self-fulfilling suggests that market events occur because…
Tesla Hits New All-Time High
The signs are usually there. We just have to pay attention. At TrendLabs, we lean heavily on quantitative models. We’ve built a global team of traders and analysts, and we put in the work every single week. Data matters. Process…
Why Is the VIX Still This High?
The S&P 500 has closed at new all-time highs for six consecutive months. And yet, the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) refuses to go quietly. Despite this relentless strength in stocks, the VIX remains above 16 – a level that doesn’t…
Is the Correction Over?
One of the biggest questions on investors’ minds right now is whether the correction that began in September is finally behind us. As we’ve discussed repeatedly over the past few months, the U.S. stock market has been working through a…
