DP Trading Room: Which is Better? SP600 (IJR) or Russell 2000 (IWM)

Carl explores which index is best…the SP600 (IJR) or Russell 2000 (IWM). He makes a comparison over time and reveals which tends to be the better performer. Which one should you use to analyze what is happening in small-caps?

Carl gives us his market outlook as prices pullback today. Bitcoin is looking particularly bullish and Gold continues to impress. He then goes through all of the Magnificent Seven stocks in the short and intermediate terms.

Erin goes through sector rotation to see where the strength and weakness lies within the market. All sectors were pulling back today and PMOs were starting to see strain.

Carl and Erin both took a look at the Energy sector “under the hood” as well as Technology and Materials.

The pair finish with a look at viewers symbol requests which tended to be heavy on the Healthcare sector.
