Try To Be More Like An Orca And Less Like A Seal
In 2022, Big Money spent all its time taking money off of the little people. And by little people we mean everyone from Granny to a slew of momentum hedge funds that ought to have known better. All year round, disbelieving longs were tossed thisaway then thataway until all the pennies had been shaken from their pockets.
In 2023, Big Money has, er, spent all its time taking money off of the little people. The same little people as before. Having taught the little people to be afraid, very afraid, of being long and strong, and thus kept their money out of the market and/or taken a net short stance, Big Money has positively laughed like a hyena as it executed a face-ripping rally in every major stock index you can name, and plenty that you can’t.
Seal tossing.
This is the M.O. of Big Money.
Where the Amused And Not Even Hungry Killer Whale = Boring Ole Insurance Company and the Bedraggled Terrified Seal = The Little People.

How to avoid getting Orca’d? Try to follow what Big Money does, and ape it. You don’t have to be ahead of their game, for they move slowly. You just have to know how to spot the breadcrumb trail they leave behind and follow it deftly. And for that, you need stock charts, which tell you the story of Big Money every day the market is open.
So where are we headed?
Well, we were saying loud and clear last year - before the October 2022 lows - that we thought markets would head to new all time highs in 2023-24. Why have we been saying this? Because the long-term index charts have been as clear as day on this - we post them here continuously - and so far they haven't disappointed.
