How To Use Technical Analysis for Investing (with David Keller)

Investing can be intimidating for people. Most of us know it’s not something you should go into without preparation. But some people aren’t aware they are tools they can use to research and make informed decisions about buying stocks. Instead of throwing a dart at a dartboard. This show is about using technical analysis to help with your investing decisions. Do not let the words technical analysis scare you away. 

My guest today is giving us a tech analysis 101 class. David Keller is a Chartered Market Technician and is the Chief Market Strategist at StockCharts.com, where he helps investors minimize behavioral biases through technical analysis.  He is also President and Chief Strategist at Sierra Alpha Research, a boutique investment research firm focused on managing risk through market awareness. And David was formerly a Managing Director of Research at Fidelity.  So he has some serious street cred when it comes to investing.

I’m fascinated with investing so I had a blast talking with David about technical analysis. In our conversation, we talk about what it is and how it can help investors whether you’re new to it or a seasoned pro.

Plus, I cooked up a fun investing related game in honor of David’s visit to the show.
