The Dirty Little Stock Market Secret
If the world were indeed in the process of ending and we were looking down into the abyss of another severe recession, we most likely would not see the following tangible and objective facts occurring in our economy.
Another Month, Another Record
The S&P 500 eclipsed the 2,900 level and the Nasdaq jumped over 8,000 this month – both all-new record highs.
Arm Wrestling The Economy And Tariffs
Financial markets have been battling back and forth like a championship arm-wrestling match as economic and political forces continue to collide.
S.T.I.N.K. – Deja Vu All Over Again
Fear has returned again, however with a different acronym spin. Rather than speak about PIIGS, today the talking heads are fretting over S.T.I.N.K. – Spain, Tariffs, Italy, and North Korea.
Why The Masses Missed The 10-Year Bull Market
The investing masses generally are notoriously short-termed focused. Although the overall stock market notched another gain this month, stock values are still down roughly -8% from the January peak, which has caused some investor angst.
Tariff, Fed, & Facebook Fears But No Easter Bunny Tears
After an explosive 2017 (+19.4%) and first month of 2018 (+5.6%), the Easter Bunny came out and laid an egg last month (-2.7%).
The Scary Blip
From the peak achieved in late January, stock prices quickly dropped by -12% at the low in early February, with little-to-no explanation other than a vague blame-game on rising interest rates.
‘Tis The Season For Giving
The stock market has provided its fair share of giving to investors in the form of a +2.7% monthly return in the S&P 500 index truly, stocks have been the gift that keeps on giving. But bonds have acted more like a stingy Ebenezer Scrooge.
Markets Fly As Media Noise Goes By
The icing on the stock market cake has been the optimism surrounding the potential passage of tax reform, likely in the shape of corporate & personal tax cuts, foreign profit repatriation, and tax simplification.
Hurricane & Political Surprises As Dow Rises
It was a tumultuous month politically, economically and meteorologically. There were natural storms like Harvey and economic storms over tax reform but like the Gulf Coast waters the stock market and consumer confidence kept rising.
Stirring The Sentiment Tea Leaves Redux
Despite the Volatility Index currently operating at the low end of historical ranges (9.36), the equity markets operate on a perpetual volatility rollercoaster.
A Recipe For Disaster
Your garden variety recipe for disaster consists of one part highly valued company and one part money-losing operation (or deteriorating financials). For these high profile IPOs, low-quality ingredients have indeed produced low-quality results.
Sports, Stocks, & The Magic Quadrants
Picking stocks is a tricky game and so is sports betting. In the world of stocks, winning/losing is not measured by spreads but rather equities are measured by valuation.
Head Fakes Surprise As Stocks Hit Highs
For the last decade since the 2008-2009 Financial Crisis, it’s clear to me that the stock market has climbed a wall of worry, pessimism and skepticism.
Political Showers Bring Record May Stock Flowers
There has been a massive storm of political rain that has blanketed the media airwaves and internet last month, however, the stock market ignored the deluge of headlines and focused on more important factors, as prices again pushed to record highs.
Investors Slowly Waking To Technology Tailwinds
Technology’s domination has been even more impressive since the cycle bottom of stock prices in 2009, if one contrasts the stark difference in the performance of the tech-heavy NASDAQ versus the more sector-balanced S&P 500.
