ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
In this episode of the Market Misbehavior podcast, Dave is joined by legendary technical analyst Carter Worth, Founder and CEO of Worth Charting and CNBC's "Chart Master." Recorded July 1st 2026.
Carter shares his timeless, price-and-volume-centric approach to market analysis, stripping away the noise of macro headlines and complex oscillators. We dig into why context is the ultimate lens for understanding price action, the enduring value of hand-drawing charts to truly feel the rhythm of institutional money flow, and how the current market's severe tech bifurcation signals a classic "shooting the generals last" environment. The conversation also explores Carter's core risk management principle that "entry points are absolute, exit points are subjective," alongside the exact data-science rules driving his newly launched Worth Charting Options Income ETF (WRTH).
