Resource rotation remains strong

Published in Stock Trends

The summer season is coming to a close. It is sometimes a sleepy market season because investor attention is elsewhere. However, the market has provided us with some definite messaging over the past few months. The themes of rotation and building strength in resources and energy stocks, notably fueled by an AI transformation across the broader economy, are key highlights that investors should pay attention to and adjust their portfolio exposure accordingly to these opportunities.

Hence, anyone who had followed the "Stock Trends" line should have sold their Bre-X shares and, with the windfall, paid for a lifetime subscription to The Globe and Mail and more. Talk about return on investment!

I am fascinated with your service and methodology - it is very impressive. [...] Over the years I have concluded that there are many ways to approach stock investing, but once one has chosen a path, one is better off sticking to it.
Bob E., Subscriber
I've followed a number of Stock Trends picks, and the methodology is solid.

Just thought I'd call to thank you, Skot. Stock Trends Weekly Reporter helped pay for my daughter's education!
Peter H., Subscriber
There is a lot to be gained from comparing trends of how individual stocks are doing within a sector, as well as how the sector is performing relative to the broad market.
Dudley R., Subscriber
I am something of a momentum investor. I find Stock Trends useful as I can look at my portfolio as a “watch list” and quickly see where trends are declining in strength or reversing, so it is particularly useful as a tool in portfolio management regarding sales.
William C., Subscriber
You have created and maintained an amazing, highly educational program and I am grateful for your part in getting our retirement funds to the good place they are.
Karin M., Subscriber
I very much like the systematic approach to analyzing stock data, it fits my approach.

I've followed your recommendations since reading your columns in the Globe & Mail, and finding they published Stock Trends arrows in their financial listings. I do find them a guide to the general market and what I should be avoiding for declining chart trends.
Has probably saved me the subscription by not rushing into hot stocks!

I use Stock Trends to help direct my stock picks. Also, following the advice of Stock Trends I have religiously used stop-loss orders and have avoided hanging on to losing stocks for emotional reasons.
John B., Subscriber
An admitted cynic, it's obviously very high praise when he says he likes StockTrends because of its "simplicity, utility, openness, [and] honesty," and in addition to having "no hidden agenda" is "understandably documented [and] historically verifiable." And, he adds, "It lets me see a lot of things without doing a lot of work." Globe and Mail

Adrian S., Subscriber
I find your website and research very helpful in my stock trading. I have subscribed to several related services in the past and none present their work with “just the facts” as you. Please keep up the great work so that I can continue to learn!
Bryan E., Subscriber
Stock Trends analysis quantifies nicely the movement of individual stocks. I’ve found that if the technicals are out of synch with fundamental analysis, it is a wake-up call to make a decision. The Stock Trends Bull/Bear Ratio is useful in identifying major market bottoms and tops. It has always presented a good buying or selling opportunity.
Charles G., Subscriber
Thank you for your excellent work and kind approach to your customers.
Odette C., Subscriber
I want to thank you for posting such an excellent guide to technical analysis on the web. You have provided a great service to all of us novice investors.

Stock Trends Editorial

Stock Trends Year-End Analysis: Institutional Momentum, ST-IM Alpha, and the Road Into Q1 2026
As 2025 comes to a close, investors naturally ask whether the strongest trends visible at year-end represent durable opportunity—or merely seasonal noise. The Stock Trends framework addresses this question not by forecasting headlines, but by examining how trend structure, momentum and participation, and ST-IM forward opportunity align across different classes of capital. This year-end outlook integrates three complementary lenses that Stock Trends users can carry directly into Q1 2026: Large-cap institutional momentum — where capital can deploy at scale Top Trending momentum leadership — where price discovery is happening fastest Stock Trends Inference Model (ST-IM) — where forward return expectations and risk dispersion suggest true alpha opportunity

From Silver’s Breakout to a Broader Metals Regime
The final trading week of the year is often dismissed as inconsequential. Liquidity thins, participation narrows, and many investors assume that meaningful signals will wait until January. Yet history shows that year-end positioning—especially in hard assets—often reveals more about institutional conviction than about seasonal noise. The Stock Trends framework does not speculate on holiday effects. It classifies what is happening beneath the surface. As holiday trading unfolds, the precious metals complex offers a clear case study in why disciplined trend analysis matters most when markets appear quiet. Earlier this month, we examined silver’s resurgence and the discipline required to participate without emotion. Today’s update allows us to ask a more important question: Has silver leadership expanded into a broader precious-metals regime, or is this still a narrow trade vulnerable to reversal?

The Quiet Power of Hospital Consumables: Durable Trends Hidden in Plain Sight
In markets where headline indexes appear steady but leadership narrows beneath the surface, the Stock Trends framework tends to guide investors toward a specific class of opportunity: durable trends supported by durable business structure. This week’s universe reinforces that late-cycle character—Bullish classifications remain dominant overall, yet momentum leadership is increasingly selective. It is in this environment that a largely ignored cohort deserves fresh attention: hospital consumables. These are the unglamorous, repeat-use products embedded deep within clinical workflows—dialysis supplies, catheters, blood collection systems, sterilization kits, and procedure disposables. They rarely make headlines, but they often exhibit the same technical signature Stock Trends users learn to respect: persistent trend behavior with corrections that are more often time-based than destructive.

Holiday Tape in Consumer Discretionary: What 46 Seasons Reveal Through Stock Trends Indicators
For Consumer Discretionary companies, the six weeks surrounding Black Friday and year-end are not just a retail storyline—they are a real-time referendum on consumer confidence, pricing power, and risk appetite. To test what this period actually means for investors, we analyzed the Stock Trends Consumer Discretionary universe across every year in the dataset, using a consistent six-week window (from the third week of November to the final trading week of December, based on weekly Friday closes). The objective was simple: does the Stock Trends framework—trend classifications, RSI relative strength, and volume tags—extract a repeatable signal from the holiday season? The answer is nuanced, but actionable.
