Hey, Ross here:
Yesterday, we looked at the divergence between short and long timeframes for stock-oil correlations.
Today, let’s look at a couple charts showing the divergence between oil and stock investors.
Chart of the Day
Here’s an interesting chart.
The blue line is Barclays’ Equity Timing Indicator (BETI) – a gauge that combines sentiment, positioning, and market conditions to identify when stocks are attractive or risky.
The orange line is the S&P 500.
Now here’s the key:
When the blue line drops into deeply negative territory – below that green dashed line – it has historically marked highly attractive entry points for stocks.
Why?
Because it means investors are overly cautious, underexposed, and positioned defensively.
In other words, there’s plenty of sidelined capital that can come back into the market.
And right now, that’s exactly what we’re seeing.
BETI has just fallen to around -8, one of its lowest levels since the tariff turmoil last year.
That tells us sentiment is extremely stretched to the downside.
Could stocks still have further room to fall? Most certainly.
But the data indicates that the “ideal” entry point for the market is – if not here already, at least rapidly approaching.
The good news?
You don’t need to wait for the market – I explain why below.
Insight of the Day
Just like how certain stocks breakout before the broader market does, certain stocks bottom before the broader market
Remember, the indexes are just the composite averages of all the stocks.
And not all stocks and sectors “move” at the same pace.
Some will always be breaking out ahead of the broader market…
And others will be bottoming out before it.
Right now, with the market pushing lower – we want to look for these stocks “bottoming out” ahead of the broader market.
And there are no better bottom-pickers in individual stocks than the corporate insiders…
High-ranking executives like CEOs, CFOs, and board members snapping up their own company stock.
I mean think about it…
They already know what’s coming down the pipeline for their own companies – whether it’s a big contract, a clinical trial result or something else.
And they know it well before the rest of the market does, which they openly take advantage of..
And in times of uncertainty like this, following the insiders can be one of the smartest moves you can make.
That’s why in just a few hours at 11 a.m. Eastern later this morning…
I’m going LIVE to walk you through my entire strategy for following these insiders.
I’ll show you where to track down these trades before the media catches on…
