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). 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 Investors […]

Stocks plunge as rising Covid-19 cases create uncertainty

It’s very difficult for any particular segment of the stock market to sustain superior performance. The watch word for our financial markets is, “reversion to the mean” i.e. what goes up must come down, and it’s true more often than you can imagine. – John Bogle Last week’s stock market action could probably be best […]

And it will ever be so. – Howard Marks The stock market was able to […]

Stocks surge on stimulus bill hopes, treatments for virus

The investor who permits himself to be stampeded or unduly worried by unjustified market declines in his holdings is perversely transforming his basic advantage into a basic disadvantage. – Benjamin Graham The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose for the second consecutive week as investors remained hopeful that another economic relief bill would be passed and […]

S&P 500 snaps four-week losing streak on positive economic data

Rely on the ordinary virtues that intelligent, balanced human beings have relied on for centuries: common sense, thrift, realistic expectations, patience and perseverance. – John Bogle The S&P 500 Index snapped its four-week losing streak last week and the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq Composite Index also advanced despite a continued stalemate in […]

S&P 500 declines for 4th straight week as uncertainties mount

It’s been an ideal period for investors: A climate of fear is their best friend. Those who invest only when commentators are upbeat end up paying a heavy price for meaningless reassurance. – Warren Buffett The stock market ended the week on a high note with a strong rally on Friday but it wasn’t enough […]

Stocks close modestly lower as uncertainty over economic recovery increases

When navigating the financial markets, the long-term investor must keep in mind the four basic dimensions of long-term returns – reward, risk, cost and time – and must apply them to every asset class. Never forget that these four dimensions are remarkably interdependent. – John Bogle The stock market continued its downward trajectory for the […]

Tech stocks lead market lower for second straight week

I can’t recall ever once having seen the name of a market timer on Forbes annual list of the richest people in the world. If it were truly possible to predict corrections, you’d think somebody would have made billions by doing it. – Peter Lynch For the second consecutive week, all of the major stock […]
