Matt Warder appeared as the featured guest on today's Morning Show on Stock Market TV, which was an extra special treat for commodity junkies like us.
Matt is widely recognized as the best Coal analyst in the world.
He’s in constant contact with top executives in the space and is basically a walking commodity encyclopedia, especially when it comes to Black Diamonds.
We had the pleasure of meeting him in New Orleans for our Portfolio Accelerator event and walked away smarter for it.
So when Steve Strazza asked him what commodity he’s most excited about right now, we were all ears.
His answer? “Titanium.”
No hesitation.
Coming from someone with Matt’s pedigree in the Coal markets, that caught us off guard.
But after looking at the charts, it makes a lot of sense why he didn't mention Coal.
How Losing Everything in 2008 Taught Me to Stop Buying Weakness and Start Following Strength
The first time I opened a brokerage account, I didn’t know what the hell relative strength was.
I just bought dips.

And like clockwork, the market kept falling... and I lost everything in that little account.

I remember thinking, “How do people actually learn to trade? Is this even possible?” It felt impossible at the time. But deep down, I knew I’d figure it out, I had to.
Fast forward a few years—I'd devoured every book, article, chart, and white paper I could find on relative strength (not to be confused with RSI—different beast).
Relative strength compares an asset’s performance to a broader index. If it drops less or climbs more, it’s showing strength. And strength attracts capital. Leaders lead. That’s the game.
But this flew in the face of everything I was ever taught…
Buy low, sell high... Where does that logic even...
