Omicron variant and Fed comments spook markets, stocks fall

Stocks fall as concerns mount over impact of Delta variant

The first rule of investment is ‘buy low and sell high’, but people fear to buy low because of the fear of the stock dropping even lower. Then you may ask: ‘When is the time to buy low?’ The answer is: When there is maximum pessimism. – Sir John Templeton Trees do not grow to […]

Strong jobs report & prospect of more stimulus power stocks higher

The mistakes we make as investors are when the market’s going up, we think it’s going to go up forever. When the market goes down, we think it’s going to go down forever.
