In this live episode of WealthWise, host Jeffrey Hirsch, Editor-in-Chief of The Stock Trader’s Almanac, welcomes legendary market technician John Bollinger, creator of Bollinger Bands and founder of Bollinger Capital Management.
John reflects on his decades-long career—starting as a cameraman before becoming Chief Market Analyst at the Financial News Network—and shares how he built one of the most trusted technical analysis tools in modern investing. Together with Jeff, they examine current market conditions, including the recent NASDAQ sell signal, concerns about market breadth, and what fewer listed stocks mean for technical indicators.

In this live episode of Buy Hold Sell, hosts Tobin Smith (TransformityResearch.com) and Todd M. Schoenberger (CrossCheck Media) welcome Jay D. Hatfield, CIO of ICAP and SCAP ETFs. Jay analyzes current markets, forecasting an S&P index target of 6,600, buoyed by lower corporate taxes yet tempered by seasonal risks.
