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!

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.

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!

Just thought I'd call to thank you, Skot. Stock Trends Weekly Reporter helped pay for my daughter's education!

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 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
Your report is an impressive, excellent tool and I have recommmended it to friends.
Colin E., 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
Paul W., 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
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.

Stock Trends Editorial

High-Volume Leaders: A Closer Look at the Heaviest-Traded Stocks
Stock Trends’ Unusually High Volume () indicator flags stocks whose weekly trading volume is at least 200% of their 13-week average. In the October 31 weekly reports, only a small slice of the universe qualifies—making these signals rare and valuable. When high volume coincides with a bullish trend state (or a new Bullish Crossover), it can mark institutional footprints at the start of a multi-week advance.

Positioning for Opportunity: Trade Detente and Stock Trends Momentum
The easing of tensions between the world’s two largest economies has given markets a fresh narrative. By stepping back from new export restrictions and cutting key tariffs, the United States and China have removed some of the most disruptive threats hanging over global supply chains. For investors, this détente creates a backdrop of relative stability in which powerful price trends can resume and new trend…

From Flash Crash to Rotation: The Probability–Payoff Map of a Rebuilding Market
The market’s October tremor—an abrupt but short-lived flash crash—has given way to a familiar pattern in the Stock Trends framework: the rapid repair of breadth and the birth of new trends. Where panic once pressed prices indiscriminately, order is returning through a disciplined sequence of new bullish signals, rebuilding sectors, and the subtle reorganization of leadership beneath the surface.

Random Portfolios as a Benchmark: A Smarter Yardstick for Performance
Investors often compare performance to market indexes like the S&P 500, but traditional benchmarks have built-in biases. The S&P 500, for example, is heavily skewed toward large-cap stocks and “is not a good benchmark for measuring alpha” – it reflects a size-factor bias rather than pure manager skill. All major indexes systematically tilt toward certain factors (size, sector, value/growth, etc.), meaning they’re not truly passive…
