Stocks tumble on Omicron fears, shift in Fed policy

Much success can be attributed to inactivity.

S&P 500 closes at all-time high despite hotter than expected CPI

In a rising market, everyone makes money and a value philosophy is unnecessary.

Omicron variant and Fed comments spook markets, stocks fall

Major stock averages all at record highs as earnings impress

If you can follow only one bit of data, follow the earnings (assuming the company in question has earnings). I subscribe to the crusty notion that sooner or later earnings make or break an investment in equities. What the stock price does today, tomorrow or next week is only a distraction. – Peter Lynch For […]

The market is a pendulum that forever swings between unsustainable optimism (which makes stocks too expensive) and unjustified pessimism (which makes them too cheap). The intelligent investor is a realist who sells to optimists and buys from pessimists. – Benjamin Graham All three major stock averages rose for the third consecutive week and the Dow […]
