What stands out

Scott Thompson's Schwab webcast walked through live scans and rules like the 20-day exponential moving average, the 50-day simple moving average, Williams Fractals, and grid charts, a reminder that Schwab trains clients to spot momentum and manage entries. Those sessions matter beyond charts, because Schwab sells custody, execution, and education, and client behavior shifts can move assets under management, as shown by the headline-grabbing reversal in the firm’s exchange-traded fund (ETF) SCHD, GDELT flagged it as up 29 percent. For investors in Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW), the webcast is not academic, it's customer flow economics made visible.
