A noteworthy observation in the stock market this year is that popular technology stocks are outperforming broader indexes.<\/p>\n
Could 2020 be the year of FAAMNGs \u2014 Facebook
The answer is \u201cyes\u201d if current trends continue. However, the year is still young. There is many a slip \u2019twixt the cup and the lip, as they say. <\/p>\n To gain an edge, let\u2019s look at segmented money flows. Segmented money flows are like an X-ray of stocks. Just like a doctor uses an X-ray to see what is going on below the surface, prudent investors can do the same with stocks.<\/p>\n A once-in-a-blue-moon occurrence has just happened in popular tech stocks. Let\u2019s explore the issue with the help of a chart. <\/p>\n Read:<\/strong> Netflix and Twitter are on a list of tech stocks that have gotten cheaper in the past year<\/a> <\/p>\n Please click here<\/a> for a chart showing segmented money flows in 11 popular tech stocks. Due to the significant outperformance of these stocks, it makes sense to look at them in addition to the Dow Jones Industrial Average
Note the following:<\/p>\n \u2022 The single most important observation from the chart is that, of the 33 money-flow-related data points, not a single one is neutral or negative. This happens only once in a blue moon. <\/p>\n \u2022 As shown on the chart, short-squeeze flows are extremely positive in Tesla
\u2022 Nvidia
\u2022 Apple stock has doubled from its low. In spite of the rise, momo crowd money flows are extremely positive in Apple.<\/p>\n \u2022 Facebook stock has the top risk-adjusted ranking while Tesla has the top non-risk-adjusted ranking.<\/p>\n \u2022 Traditionally, momo crowd flows have been negative in Intel
\u2022 Google has the No. 2 risk-adjusted ranking. <\/p>\n \u2022 After stagnating late last year, Amazon stock is on the move again. As shown on the chart, smart money flows are mildly positive, momo crowd money flows are very positive and short-squeeze flows are positive.<\/p>\n \u2022 Chinese stocks are on the move too. For U.S. investors, it is easiest to focus on Alibaba
\u2022 Microsoft has become the darling of Wall Street. Smart money flows are mildly positive, and momo crowd money flows are very positive.<\/p>\n Ask Arora: Nigam Arora answers your questions about investing in stocks, ETFs, bonds, gold and silver, oil and currencies. Have a question? Send it to Nigam Arora<\/a>.<\/em> <\/p>\n The chart shows potential for a short squeeze in 11 popular tech stocks.<\/p>\n A short squeeze occurs when short sellers either panic or are compelled to buy to cover shares that were previously short sold. This leads to a lot of artificial buying that is not based on fundamentals. <\/p>\n A trigger for a short squeeze can be slightly good news. <\/p>\n The chart also shows the relative rankings of the 11 popular tech stocks. These rankings are based on the six screens of the ZYX Change Method. (Please click here<\/a> to learn about the six screens.) <\/p>\n Risk-adjusted rankings are more useful for medium- and long-term positions. Non-risk-adjusted rankings are more useful for short-term or trade-around positions.<\/p>\n We do know that when smart money flows, momo crowd money flows and short-squeeze money flows reach extremes, it is a contrary signal. In plain English, it means that when everybody becomes extremely bullish, it is a sell signal. So far the totality of the data does not show extreme. However, in the past this level of bullishness has led to shallow pullbacks. <\/p>\n Disclosure: Subscribers to The Arora Report<\/a> may have positions in the securities mentioned in this article or may take positions at any time.
