The Global Rotation Retail Doesn't See Coming
How international stocks are setting up for years of outperformance.
Something big is happening.. and it’s not what most investors and traders are watching.
While everyone obsesses over the day-to-day swings in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, international stocks are quietly breaking out to new highs.
And if you're not paying attention, you're risking being left behind.
Have you noticed EFA lately?

That's the global ETF tracking developed markets outside the U.S. and Canada, and it's on the verge of hitting fresh all-time highs right now.
Even more compelling, it's outperforming the S&P 500 for the first time in years AND with record inflows of capital never seen before.
But that's not all.
We know that Chinese stocks have already surged to multi-year highs.
European financial stocks? They're not just strong.. they're breaking out to new all-time highs as we speak.

Everywhere you look internationally, from Europe to Asia, momentum is building.
Here's the thing about these big global rotations: by the time everyone else notices, the easy gains have usually been made.
Those who wait to chase the move later end up scrambling, missing out on the early (and easiest) profits.
Here’s one we just entered last week.. a $117BN medical specialties company out of Ireland named Medtronic:

After building out a multi-year base, MDT looks ready to fly higher on a breakout above the 93.00 level.
We grabbed a position in shares and juiced the trade with some call options as well.
The best part? MDT hasn’t even started moving yet. You have every opportunity to take this trade with us right now if it makes sense.
And if you're serious about capturing these international moves right as they begin, our premium service gives you every trade we take in real time.
No chasing, no guessing. Just clearly defined trades with manageable risk and big upside.
Ask yourself this: Are you prepared for a market that could look entirely different over the next 5-10 years?
Don’t wait until the mob moves.. get positioned early and start thinking bigger.
Let me know what you think, I’m curious. Especially to all of our European readers out there.
Are international stocks going to continue to outperform? Or was this a momentary blip like we’ve seen a few times over the last decade?
