Chart of the Day
$SPX We intermediate traders get distracted by the daily fanfare. It is easy to lose sight of the Big Picture. A favorite trend indicator is the 20d MA of $NYNL. It just crossed above 0. The wind is at our backs. Don't lose site of that. pic.twitter.com/3zERCedpih

Today’s Chart of the Day was shared by Alan Cohen (@al_xdpg). The chart shows new highs minus new lows on the NYSE, smoothed by a 20-day moving average (blue). New highs have exceeded new lows in recent weeks, pushing the 20-day moving average into positive territory for the first time in three months. Alan points out that the S&P 500 tends to trend higher when the 20-day moving average of net new highs is above zero and vice versa. The market has been awfully quiet this past week, but we’re continuing to see internal improvement beneath the surface.
Quote of the Day
“One of the things you learn in this business is humility because you see your mistakes the next day.”

One of my favorite ETF's, the iShares Expanded Tech ETF $IGV, is up +2% and making new 52-week highs (once again).
The fund is up +52.5% YTD, despite only 1 of the Magnificent 7 being in the fund (MSFT).

"The VIX is low. Smart to buy cheap protection"
No, historically when VIX is low, S&P500 forward returns compound. Daily sub-13 VIX closes: annualized $SPX returns are +47%; highest of any closing $VIX value. (Tom Bowley)$SPY $UVXY $QQQ pic.twitter.com/WgM9F2lMGF

We've been bullish equities and the economy, but we've also been optimistic about gold as well, as we've had a small tad in our tactical models for many months.

gold sits north of $2,000 as November sits almost ready to end, the relative trend vs. stocks seems to be turning upwards and the most #bullish month of the year is December… who thinks it goes? #seasonality pic.twitter.com/xA0Kvtv2E6
