Are you tired of getting faked out by sudden market reversals? Do you find yourself staring at a screen trying to guess where the S&P 500 will be in three to six months?
In this episode of The Traders Forum, Jeff Gibby sits down with longtime friends of MetaStock and industry veterans, John and Jack Kosar from Asbury Research. With over 43 years of market experience , John explains exactly why trying to "forecast" the future or listening to financial media noise is a losing proposition. Instead, they reveal a data-driven approach designed to gauge exactly what the market is thinking today. John and Jack dive deep into the mechanics of the Asbury 6—a powerhouse group of six distinct, underlying indicators that function like a market lie-detector test to reveal true institutional risk appetite.
🕒 What You Will Learn in This Episode:
* The Fallacy of the "Magic Indicator": Why relying on just one metric is a recipe for disaster and how to use the "weight of evidence" instead.
* The Asbury 6 & CPM Model: How their Correction Protection Model determined a timely "Risk On" shift to catch a massive market run.
* The S&P 500 vs. Global Equities: A critical look at the massive underperformance of global stocks relative to the US market, and why they track the SPDW index.
* The Truth About Correlations: Why historic old wives' tales (like the inverse relationship between the Dollar and Gold) are breaking down, and what is actually correlated right now.
* Sector Rotation & AI: How money has structuralized out of energy and flooded right back into US technology and artificial intelligence.
