The Weekly ROAR: "The Department Of Redundancy Department" Is The Biggest Risk to DIY Investors. Most Don't Even Realize It.
And, the one ETF that "stopped the scroll" for me on Monday, as I ran through my usual paces to start the week.
This week, in addition to a quick spin through the macro world in chart form, I’m going to make as strong a statement as I possibly can, about a major risk DIY investors are taking. In many cases, they are taking it, even if their advisor/broker is in charge of managing the accounts.
In 2026, it can’t be avoided…unless you know how to spot it.
Here’s what I’m talking about. You see, while I review hundreds of stock and ETF charts to identify the most interesting setups in both directions, that comes out each Thursday via Fresh Charts. But the week’s effort is continuous. And Tuesdays can often be a helpful guidepost.
Such as today, when I poured through my go-to list of 75 ETFs that I think still matter.
