My guest today is Tom Dorsey, the co-founder of Dorsey, Wright & Associates in 1987. Dorsey joined Nasdaq Global Information Services with Nasdaq's acquisition of his company in 2015. He has been a regular guest on Fox's "Cavuto on Business" and "Bulls & Bears" programs, and frequently speaks to audiences worldwide on topics related to the stock market, technical analysis, and Relative Strength investing.
