I stumbled upon this video, and it’s a terrific listen (feel free to skip the 7-minute introduction, which isn’t key):

SoarMoreWeave
As a follow-up to my post from last month………another huge pusher higher, and remember, when you’re dealing with lifetime highs on young stocks, there’s really no meaningful way to define resistance. Everyone’s just racing around the chairs, listening carefully for the music to stop.
Homecoming Queen
Long-time readers know I’m not really into travel, not even when it’s for vacation. I had kind of been bracing myself for a series of trips over a period of weeks, and I was gritting my teeth with anticipation to get to the other side of them and get back to normal.

A New Angle with PCRs
I read an article from our friends in Gainesville that gave me an idea to share. What the boys at EWI do is take the put/call ratio (which we now have in SlopeCharts) and do two things to it: (1) they create a 10-day moving average to smooth it out (2) they invert the scale so that a chart basing and curling up indicates a bottoming market overall, and a chart topping and starting to curl down means just the opposite.
I have made these modifications, and hidden the raw data used to compute it, in the five charts below. Enjoy!
