In the 62nd episode of the Market Misbehavior podcast, Dave checks in with Callum Thomas, Founder and Head of Research at Top Down Charts. Callum discusses his investment process, how he uses technical analysis concepts to analyze trends and inflection points in macroeconomic data, the importance of risk management for individual investors, seasonality for the S&P 500 and the VIX, how to make sense of high valuations in 2025, and why the Fed should be raising and not lowering rates in the coming months. Recorded 7/28/25.
