Priceless from experts at Schaeffer's and our trusted colleagues!
05/30/2025 |  | | Not exactly a "chart", but an intriguing point to think about as we examine how other traders are approaching the market. Mark Minervini, an author of a couple really great books on trading and a heavily-followed account on X, shared his thoughts yesterday on the overarching market environment. It's an interesting take, especially in context of our Senior Quant's study completed earlier this week on how all-time highs impact short-term stock performance.
As contrarians here at Schaeffer's, this post immediately got us thinking if everyone (the crowd) is thinking like this now? One way to know is to look to the options pits and what kind of activity is going on there. Is there speculation that there will be a reversal of a breakout or is the speculation betting on a breakout?
As a quick point of reference here, we saw put activity accompany $GE and $MNST breakouts that, up to this point, sustained themselves better than most. |  | See Why Top Investors Are Watching TAG Oil This Canadian-based oil and gas exploration company brings together an exceptional leadership team with deep MENA experience and a high-impact opportunity in Egypt's Western Desert.

Here is a list of stocks within 5% of making a new all-time high for the first time in at least three months. If/when these stocks make a new high, my analysis shows call options have tended to give bullish results over the next month, but bearish results over the next week. The data suggests put options have been unprofitable on stocks making new highs. |  | | Fund flows are shifting from US equities to global equities. First time in a very long-time... This can be seen across ETFs, with EWG & Israel, reaching new all-time highs, and many countries' ETFs breaking out of massive multi-year bases. These flows are likely contributing to the lower liquidity as well. The flows are happening as investors diversify away from the US after Trump took office, and uncertain economic/trade policies (tariffs). |  | One High-Conviction Trade Every Monday Morning!
