Six days ago I wrote that everyone was talking about the Strait of Hormuz while capital was quietly rotating into tech. That was before SMH closed at all-time highs. Brent crude nearly hit $128 a barrel on April 2nd. The Strait is effectively closed. An estimated 7.5 million barrels per day of production were shut in during March.. expected to climb above 9 million in April. Oil is averaging over $100 for the first time since 2022. Every headline is about war. About oil. About supply chains breaking. Nobody is talking about semiconductors. Both SMH and XSD closed at all-time highs last week. Not one. Both. The cap-weighted index and the equal-weight index.. together. When only SMH leads, you can blame Nvidia. When XSD confirms it, the breadth is real. SMH is up 21% year to date. XSD is up 32%. In the middle of the largest oil supply disruption in modern history. Let that sit for a second. The most capital-intensive, globally sensitive sector in the market.. the one most exposed to shipping lanes, to energy costs, to geopolitical risk.. is printing new highs while the world panics about oil tankers. That's not noise. That's a signal to traders. Are you listening? In that same newsletter last week, I bought INTC. The stock ran nearly 24% in a single week. We caught the entire move. Blueprint members got the alert, the entry, and the contract details. The sell-the-double alert went out days later. One week. Called the rotation. Positioned in the name. Took profits. Headlines tell you what people are afraid of. Price tells you what's actually happening. They rarely agree. And when they diverge this hard.. follow the money. This Week at TTI If you missed any of this week's newsletters, here's what we covered: They Bought The Tech Sector Last Week — Seven tech names hit the Flow Score top 20. XLK was the only sector ETF absorbing real money. We bought INTC. The Commodity Move Everyone Wants to Fade.. and Why the Data Says Don't. — DBC is up 30% year to date. Only 4 prior instances since 2007. All four led to continuation. Not reversal. We Sold a Double in PBR. Now We're Betting on the Entire Country. — PBR doubled in 30 days. We sold half and opened EWZ. Single name thesis expanded to a country-level bet. The $500 Billion Loan That AI Is Eating — Software is down 35%. $500 billion in private credit loans are backed by collateral that AI is dismantling. The chain runs straight into Financials.. and the Flow Score already sees it. What's on your radar this week? Profits Over Prophets, Hamilton PS — This week our Flow Score called the tech rotation, doubled an INTC position, sold half of PBR at 100%+, opened EWZ, and identified the credit chain that's rotting Financials from the inside. That's one week. Blueprint members had every alert, every score, every level. Join here. |

NVDA vs MAGS just broke out to new highs. After nearly two years of nothing.. the king of all stocks is leading the Mag 7 higher again. Think about that.. Nvidia vs Mag-7, NVDA/MAGS, Weekly The last time NVDA lead higher in this ratio was April 2023. You might remember what happened next. From April 2023 to June 2024: QQQ ran 55%. NVDA ran nearly 400%. The semiconductor industry group ran over 125%. That's not a rally. That's a regime. Here's why this matters.. the NVDA/MAGS ratio is the...
Intel (INTC) is at all-time highs afterhours. September 2025. INTC broke $26 and the Flow Score triggered a buy on a name nobody wanted. We opened the first position.. targeted the January 2026 contracts.. and we've been in the trade continuously ever since. Not a new call. Not a fresh trade. A continuous position held through one of the most hated stocks on the tape. Seventeen days ago I wrote a piece called They Bought The Tech Sector Last Week. I showed you the data. Seven tech names in...
EEM is up 13.6% year to date. SPY is up 1.7%. Let that sit for a second. The thing nobody wanted to own.. the thing that underperformed for a decade.. the thing your advisor told you to ignore.. is lapping the S&P 500 by nearly 12 percentage points this year. And the gap is accelerating. Not AI. Not mega-cap tech. Not the Magnificent 7. Emerging markets. Here's why this matters.. Two months ago I wrote a piece called Smart Money Is Diversifying Outside of the USA. In it, I showed the EEM/SPY...
