12/26 - 12/29 - MWL on hiatus - "Best of MarketWatchers" segments - Schedule is here.

 

What Happened Today?

Greg Schnell P&F Chart Review (00:15:38): It is always a pleasure to have Greg on the show and today was no exception. He took us 'around the world' looking at P&F charts for various international ETFs in their currencies. Here a few highlights:

Agree or Disagree? (00:37:55): In this segment we ask the audience whether they agree or disagree with a statement. Today's statement "It is a good time to buy GDX (Gold Miners)". Today we had a very lively discussion with Greg regarding GDX and Gold. It was certainly fun listening to all defending their positions. Here's the summary:

Ten in Ten Before One (00:55:00): In this regular segment, Tom attempts to review ten charts in ten minutes. Send in your symbol requests via Twitter (@mktwatcherslive) before the show or using the live chat box during the LIVE program and we'll try and add them. We'll also check our email for symbol requests before the show (marketwatchers@stockcharts.com). You'll find all of the charts in the MarketWatchers LIVE ChartList, located at the top of the MarketWatchers blog homepage.

Correlation of $TNX to $SPX (01:15:03): Tom did an excellent presentation on using correlation with a prime example being "$TNX:$SPX".

Looking Forward:

Tune in on Thursday at 12:00p - 1:30p EST on 12/21 for Anatomy of a Trade and more of your requests in the 10 in 10!
