Happy Friday! Here is this week's Market Moment. Have a great weekend.

New Market Highs Often you hear market commentators talk about the major indexes reaching new highs, almost like someone will ring a bell when the market hits a new record level. What I have learned is the market often closes just below the previous high-water mark and often reverses the next day or...

This week's Market Moment. Have a great weekend.

New Highs and Tariff Deals During bull-market runs, the markets can rally well beyond even an investor’s most lofty expectations as enthusiasm mounts. Usually it is the fear of missing out that gets most investors buying again. I look at it differently. Every day I study the markets and individual...

Magic Levitation Trick in Reverse I have written before about the magic levitation trick. Recall, this is when a stock moves up quickly for no apparent reason, but usually during a period when investors have lofty expectations for a company. It can also happen during a bull market when investors’ ...

This week's Market Moment!

Taking the Long View As a financial adviser, I have spent the better part of my career trying to discern what the market is telling me, because as I have stated before, the markets move in cycles, and it is important to recognize these bull- and bear-market cycles. I have written about watching the....

Hope everyone is having a great start to the long weekend. Here is this week's Market Moment.

A Summer Rally A summer rally sure has a nice ring to it and could be a real possibility.  Let me explain. The market is a discounting mechanism that looks ahead six to twelve months. It would be nice to know what it’s going to do next, or even in the next few months, but […]

Incredible Levitation Trick Strikes Again Another big week for the United States’ equity markets. The markets roared on Monday when the U.S. and China paused their trade impasse and agreed to lower the current tariffs down to 30% from 145%, which was an unworkable situation for both parties. Other...

It's another Friday and another Market Moment!

News-Driven Markets Over 30 years ago I started to follow the markets on a daily basis, and I thought doing just that was how investors made money in investing. It wasn’t until I went to the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting, plus read more books on investing, and then started to read “Barrons.....

Why the Tape Matters April finished on a happy note, with the NASDAQ turning positive and recovering all of its losses for the month in the last 10 trading days. It seems Mr. Market’s attitude has turned to the brighter side, which almost never happens. Negative impacts from the tariffs might be a...

Correction or Bear Market? A lot has changed in just a few short days. The administration has specifically called out China, saying maybe 145% in tariffs is too high, indicating a willingness to negotiate. The United States and Europe purchase $1.7 and $1.8 trillion a year from China, so there is a....

How to Survive Big Market Selloffs It took me a long time to develop a strategy to survive big market selloffs, but eventually I did.  What I found most helpful was understanding what one owns and being OK holding onto your positions even in the worst of times. Capitulating at the bottom is never a...

“I Have Seen this Movie Before” Don’t you hate it when someone says, “I have seen this movie before”? I do. It ruins the mood and causes me to wonder if it is true or if the person just doesn’t want to watch the movie I chose. I believe at least a few movies are […]

The Fed Put and the Trump Put Market participants got exactly what they wanted from the Fed on Wednesday, and stocks rallied. Chairman Powell indicated the Fed is ready to make adjustments to interest-rate policy if it looks like the economy is slowing more quickly than expected. (The “Fed Put” ...
