Today, Carl and Erin made a big announcement! They are retiring at the end of June so today was the last free DecisionPoint Trading Room. It has been our pleasure educating you over the years and your participation in the trading room has been fantastic! Be sure and sign up to follow the DecisionPoint Blog on StockCharts.com where we do plan to publish articles periodically. (Subscribers: you will be notified via email as to how your subscription will be handled. Stay tuned.)
After the big announcement, Carl opened the show with the DP Signal Tables to give us a sense as to the market’s overall trend and condition.
Carl then went through his regular market overview that included Bitcoin, Bonds, Yields, Crude Oil, Gold, Gold Miners and the Dollar.
Once finished with the market overview, Carl walked us through the Magnificent Seven in the short and intermediate terms by looking at both the daily and weekly charts.
The pair took questions including a discussion on relative strength using the Silver Cross Index and Golden Cross Index.
Erin took the controls and went through the 26 indexes, sectors and industry groups that have under the hood indicators. She walked us through the CandleGlance and explained her findings along the way.
Questions popped up again with Carl discussing his strategy of using dividend paying stocks in retirement. He mentioned the Dividend Aristocrats and Dividend Kings lists as a great source to find good dividends. Also a shout out to The Bahnsen Group ETF (TBG).
Erin finished by looking at viewer symbol requests.
It has been a great run learning and teaching about technical analysis. Thank you again for your support over the years!
