In today’s video, we add two new stocks to the watchlist including Microsoft (MSFT) which is consolidating near its highs, and Penn International Gaming (PENN) after it broken above a key resistance zone to signal a major trend reversal. We then wrap up on gold which will be within the crosshairs of volatility around Jerome Powell’s speech later today.
