What stands out

Kevin Horner and Michael Bruskof spent the Schwab Coaching webcast walking through index charts, options risks, and live entry and exit ideas, a candid look at how Schwab teaches retail traders. That matters because Charles Schwab (SCHW) earns from trading activity, assets under management, and ETF flows, and the session coincided with a big reversal in SCHD that highlights those dynamics. The practical takeaway: fundamentals look constructive, but the stock’s short-term price action is weak, so investors should favor measured sizing and time over timing.
