In this episode of DecisionPoint, Erin covered the major indexes and DP indicators, taking a deeper look at the Rydex Ratio (which is showing very bearish sentiment in place). Meanwhile, with this week marking the anniversary of both the 1929 and 1987 market crashes, Carl took us back in time and reviewed the possible hints we might have had to avoid the deep losses, comparing the price structures to what is happening in today's markets. This episode originally aired on October 21st, 2019.
