Despite weak jobs report, S&P 500, Nasdaq close at record highs

The key to investing is not assessing how much an industry is going to affect society, or how much it will grow, but rather determining the competitive advantage of any given company and, above all, the durability of that advantage. – Warren Buffett The stock market continued its winning ways last week as both the […]

S&P 500, Nasdaq at record highs after Powell’s dovish comments

While enthusiasm may be necessary for great accomplishments elsewhere, on Wall Street it almost invariably leads to disaster. – Benjamin Graham Both the S&P 500 Index and the Nasdaq Composite Index closed at record highs last week as investors cheered Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium last week. The […]

Stocks close lower on Fed taper anxiety, weak retail sales

If you can follow only one bit of data, follow the earnings – assuming the company in question has earnings.

Bank earnings strong but stocks close lower on inflation fears

There seems to be an unwritten rule on Wall Street. If you don’t understand it, then put your life savings into it.

Stocks close higher despite fears over slowing growth, Covid-19 variant

When navigating the financial markets, the long-term investor must keep in mind the four basic dimensions of long-term return – reward, risk, cost and time – and must apply them to every asset class.

Major stock averages at record highs on positive jobs data

I tell my father’s story of the gambler who lost regularly. One day he hears about a race with only one horse in it, so he bet the rent money. Halfway around the track, the horse jumped over the fence and ran away. – Howard Marks Stocks continued their upward climb last week as all […]

S&P 500 closes at all-time high as investors shrug off inflation fears

An investment operation is one which, upon thorough analysis, promises safety of principal and an adequate return. Operations not meeting these requirements are speculative. – Benjamin Graham The Federal Reserve-induced stock market sell-off caused by comments by Fed officials that interest rates would rise sooner rather than later due to rising inflation expectations was short-lived […]

Stocks fall as Fed raises its inflation expectations

Risk and time are opposite sides of the same coin, for if there were no tomorrow there would be no risk. Time transforms risk, and the nature of risk is shaped by the time horizon: the future is the playing field. – Peter L. Bernstein After beginning the week at record highs, the S&P 500 […]
