A regular guest on this 10:30 am slot, host Victoria Scholar slickly puts charting veteran Lee through his paces.

When oscillators lie: We often call it divergence

As John Maynard Keynes famously said, ‘’the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent’’. Markets can also, unlike leopards, change their spots, moving from crushingly boring and lethargic for months to quite the raging tiger. This has […]
