Stocks close lower on weak economic data, rising Covid-19 cases

The wisest rule in investments is: when others are selling, buy. When others are buying, sell. – Jonathan Sacks Profit-taking hit the stock market last week as both the S&P 500 Index and the Nasdaq Composite Index fell 1.5% even though President-elect Joe Biden announced a $1.9 trillion stimulus package and the Federal Reserve reiterated […]

S&P 500 gains nearly 2% for the week, bodes well for 2021

Over the short-term, however, the fundamentals are often overwhelmed by the deafening noises of speculation – the price at which the stock market values each dollar of earnings. – John Bogle Despite several events last week that under normal circumstances would have caused the stock market to trade lower, just the opposite happened as all […]

Dow, S&P 500 end year at record highs as Trump signs stimulus bill

A 10% decline in the market is fairly common – it happens about once a year. Investors who realize this are less likely to sell in a panic, and more likely to remain invested, benefitting from the wealth-building power of stocks. – Christopher Davis The major stock averages ended an otherwise dismal year on a […]

Stocks close mixed as Congress finally passes stimulus bill

You know, people talk about this being an uncertain time. You know, all time is uncertain. I mean, it was uncertain back in – in 2007, we just didn’t know it was uncertain.

Stocks fall victim to profit-taking as Covid-19 cases spike

S&P 500 closes at record high despite rising Covid-19 cases, weak jobs report

If people are risk-tolerant and afraid of being out of the market, they buy aggressively, in which case you can’t find any bargains.

Stocks surge on more positive vaccine news

Most people get interested in stocks when everyone else is. The time to get interested is when no one else is. You can’t buy what is popular and do well. – Warren Buffett It was a banner week for the stock market as the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 30,000 for the first time […]

S&P 500 falls as surge in Covid-19 cases outweighs positive vaccine news

The stock market goes up or down, and you can’t adjust your portfolio based on the whims of the market, so you have to have a strategy in a position and stay true to that strategy and not pay attention to noise that could surround any particular investment. – John Paulson Both the S&P 500 […]

Dow Jones Industrial Average soars on positive Covid-19 vaccine news

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