Chart of the Day
Are investors really ready for this…?
IMO, an overwhelming amount are NOT.
And that's just another tailwind in the form of "incremental buyers" and pent-up demand which could keep these areas well-bid for much longer than most are prepared for… $XLF $XLE pic.twitter.com/yY0xTprVVw

Today’s Chart of the Day was shared by Steve Strazza (@sstrazza). The chart shows the relative strength of Financials and Energy over the past year. These are the top two sectors so far this year. Energy is up 47% year-to-date, while Financials are up 30%. For reference, the S&P 500 is up 12% and Tech is up less than 6%, over the same period. Steve points out that the majority of investors are not positioned for an environment where these two value-oriented sectors outperform. In a comment to The Chart Report, Steve said, “Financials and Energy have been left for dead by investors due to their chronic underperformance over the past decade. But so far in 2021, both sectors are notably outperforming the S&P and look poised to continue doing so. The fact that most investors are underweight these sectors, to me, is bullish. If they continue to outperform as they have been, we’ll likely see performance chasing ensue as investors seek to gain more exposure to these sectors, keeping them well-bid for quite some time.
Quote of the Day
“Charting is a little like surfing. You don’t have to know a lot about the physics of tides, resonance, and fluid dynamics in order to catch a good wave. You just have to be able to sense when it’s happening and then have the drive to act at the right time.”
– Ed Seykota

Last week take-away notes: Material, Energy, Industrial, Financial and REITs are sectors of strength. As I’ve noted a few times, equities in general have proven to be the best hedge against inflation and I can’t see how that is any different today, even with the recent volatility pic.twitter.com/UXWNXvTQm7

I re-entered my $TSLA short this morning after getting stopped out for a small loss last week.
Posting this $F / $TSLA comparison chart again because it's so pretty.
BTW, the $TSLA chart looks mighty bearish.
