I recently asked myself a simple question: What are the top-performing stocks of 2024 so far? After running a customized scan, I have compiled the data to share with everyone here on TradingView both as a chart above and in this text list below. Each stock on this list met the following criteria: - They are officially listed on the NYSE or Nasdaq. - Have...

The chart on the top shows the price of gold adjusted for the Money Supply. The chart at the bottom shows the price of gold over time. Compare and contrast the two and you see a valuable fact. Actually, this is something we should all do more often with our favorite symbols – compare and contrast them to the growing money supply. Meaning, while gold is hitting...

I was pretty surprised to see that just a few weeks ago, on a random summer June day, over 51 billion dollars worth of Apple was traded. That's 51 BILLION DOLLARS of Apple traded in just 24 hours. After doing some research I also realized that this was a record for Apple. At no other point in history has this much Apple traded. This is hard to ignore for any...

Stef's Dollar Volume Counter is my second script that I've worked on and coded. It is free and open source for everyone! Get it here: I am proud of this script because it does something very, very important: it counts the amount of money traded, not just the number of shares or contracts. In this educational post, I want to share why I think it matters and...

I recently wrote about Oliveda International OTC:OLVI , which is an OTC stock that caught my attention because it's up more 100% since the start of the year. It also has a market cap of $3+ billion. You don't often see OTC stocks with a market cap like this. They usually move to the NYSE or Nasdaq. Thus, I find this hard to ignore. After doing some research into...

A certain acquisition caught my attention this week. The company sunglass company Ray-Ban (owned by EssilorLuxottica) has just acquired Supreme for $1.5 billion in their first push into clothing. For those of you who know the street wear brand Supreme, this should come as a rather interesting acquisition, specifically that Supreme is considered a significant brand...

I recently wrote about Eli Lilly and why it has caught my attention, what it may mean for markets, but more specifically the most expensive and elaborate industry on Earth, that none of us can understand... HEALTHCARE. Insurance is wildly expensive. Many people are focused on health. Scientists around the planet are trying to solve health. And now, Eli Lilly,...

Nike's stock has dropped 30% this year and nearly 60% from its 2021 highs. It continues to drop, and now, I am worried that they will soon suspend their dividend to move cash flow into other areas that need to support the business. I believe Nike may reach a low close to its COVID-19 crash levels, presenting a buying opportunity for patient investors as I've...

I still can't believe that, back in April, Tesla was down 43% since the start of the year. It's been ages since we've seen a drop like that for Tesla. I circled that point on the chart with a red circle. Also, the yellow and orange lines are the 50 and 100 day moving averages, about to cross and seem to be turning upward. Fast forward to now, and Tesla has...

The chart below shows a simple equation: NASDAQ:SMH / NASDAQ:QQQ to gauge the relative performance of the Semiconductors (SMH) vs. the Nasdaq-100 index (QQQ). The SMH ETF includes companies like NVIDIA and other leading chip manufacturers, which are critical to powering AI advancements. On the other hand, the QQQ ETF comprises 100 major tech-related...

I have been watching On Cloud and love their shoes. I wear them all the time now. In-fact, I bought some shares a while ago simply because I enjoyed wearing them so much. The chart above highlights some other levels I am watching if this trade can keep up: 1. The company's resurgence above its IPO price indicates a renewed investor interest, suggesting a positive...

I must say, and as I wrote the other week ( see here ), the winners of the GameStop resurgence was GameStop itself. They now have $4 BILLION in cash on their balance sheet. That's right – a strong community can do wonders for a brand, its backing, and the company itself. Between Roaring Kitty, Ryan Cohen, and everyone on Reddit, they just created a viable business...

I’m just floored that the S&P 500 is well above 5000 and, now, steadily approaching 6000 level. What I find most interesting, is that if you read the average news headline or spend time on the Internet, you'll most likely walk away with a sense of dread i.e. something is wrong somewhere! Or, the world is in shambles. This all seems almost counterintuitive; while...

At one point this week, GameStop was up some 265% from Monday to Wednesday. That's 48 hours of trading, up 265%, and on rather large sums of volume at a $10+ billion market cap. This is real money, fast money and that's why it's hard to ignore such price action. While many traders made and lost money on this hype trade, there is one group that played it...

There's a saying that "gaps act as magnets" and that saying has always stuck with me. It's one reason why I always look for gaps on the chart to watch. Bandwidth, ticker symbol BAND, is a company that provides cloud-based communications services for enterprises. I have written about them a few times and you have probably seen my charts, some GREAT and some bad....

NVIDIA leads the chip industry, especially AI chips and their product announcement today was nothing short of remarkable. They had the entire web buzzing about their newest releases. It does not appear that any other company is even close to what they've accomplished and they are years, if not decades ahead. Even Intel and AMD are chasing with a longshot. The...

Tesla's recent performance positions it as one of the worst stocks in the S&P 500 this year, which is surprised me. After being a winner time and time again, it has finally retraced quite a bit. I feel like it's been years since Tesla had this poor of a start, but also, for many who don't yet have a position, this is a great time to start thinking about a possible...

This chart caught my attention. I had to write about it. I am not sure what it means, but in terms of market risk, tech, and what assets have the mainstream's attention, I did not expect Tesla to underperform as much as it has. Both Bitcoin and Tesla are remarkable assets in their own right, yet the recent divergence in their valuations is striking. This...
