Rising bond yields & Fed rate hike sink stocks; S&P 500 in bear market

If you can invest your money under fair conditions, in fact under attractive specific conditions, I think one certainly should do so even if the market should go down further and even if the securities you buy may go down after you buy them. – Benjamin Graham  When it rains, it pours. Investors must be […]

Stocks sink on hotter than expected inflation data

You need to know the market’s going to go down sometimes. If you’re not ready for that, you shouldn’t own stocks. And it’s good when it happens. – Peter Lynch  Hopes that inflation may have peaked were dashed on Friday when the consumer price index (CPI) for May came in hotter than expected, causing the […]

Dow gains over 6% and snaps its eight week losing streak

There will be bear markets about twice every 10 years and recessions about twice every 10 or 12 years but nobody has been able to predict them reliably.

Dow falls for 8th straight week as high inflation takes toll on earnings

What to do when the market goes down? Read opinions of the investment gurus who are quoted in the Wall Street Journal. And, as you read, laugh.

Higher interest rates and a hawkish Fed sink stocks

Stock market corrections, although painful at the time, are actually a very healthy part of the whole mechanism, because there are always speculative excesses that develop, particularly during a long bull market. – Ron Chernow Although first quarter corporate earnings continued to be mostly better than expected last week, the stock market didn’t seem to […]

Stocks plunge as Fed interest rate hike fears grip markets

The idea that a bell rings to signal when investors should get into and out of the market is simply not credible.

Stocks fall as the Fed prepares to tighten monetary policy

Every day, self-proclaimed stock market “experts” tell us why the market just went up or down, as if they really knew. So where were they yesterday? – Anonymous The major stock averages all closed lower last week after the Federal Reserve released minutes from its December meeting that showed that Fed officials were ready to […]

S&P 500 Index closes at record high as Omicron fears subside

Over the last few decades, investors’ timeframes have shrunk. They’ve become obsessed with quarterly returns. In fact, technology now enables them to become distracted by returns on a daily basis, and even minute-by-minute. Thus one way to gain an advantage is by ignoring the ‘noise’ created by the manic swings of others and focusing on […]
