Yet another reminder of how income-seekers need to evolve their methods to stay in sync with modern markets #income #markets

Where we've been, where we're going #ETF

As September starts and autumn approaches, the stock market is doing that fall thing. #ETF

Dominant stocks, short-termism, a trader's playground. Might as well embrace it. #investing #ETF

Monday, August 5, 2024 might be remembered for a long time. Or, it will fade into the long list of near misses. #markets

Small caps, dividend stocks and the Dow all join in. Now what? #ETF #markets

Emerging Markets EEM may be breaking out. #markets #ETF

So as it turns out, 2025 might be a rough year for whomever gets the job. #election24 #president #america

AOR is a core growth allocation ETF. But…hmm… 6.46% YTD? Doesn’t seem very growthy now does it? #ETF

An obvious difference, which is those sharp, steep declines at the far right on the chart starting to look like the top of the Empire State Building. #ETF

And a look at what happens after the S&P 500 rallies 15% in 6 months. #ETF #markets

Slim pickings in stock market, but big cap Magnificent 7 types could fly...or die. #stocks #strategy

The most lopsided stock market in my career continues. #FAANG #stocks

Two lagging market segments bust a move but we've seen this before. #stocks #dividends #bonds

Bills rock, long-term bonds roll. If that continues, look out. #strategy #bonds

With the market doing so well, all 30 Dow stocks should be up, right? How about this: as I write this mid-day on Thursday, all 30 are down. #markets

The stock and bond markets are in no man's land but that's going to end soon. #stocks #bonds #ETF

There’s one reason to own gold: because others are buying it, lifting the price, which can create short-to-intermediate-term profits for me. 

In modern markets, today's trash may be next month's treasure.#markets #investing #ETF

Another hint of a year-2000-style shift, where sectors like utilities, REITs and consumer staples suddenly break out. #ETF

QQQ symptomatic of an unhurried, undecided stock market. #ETF #markets

How things look in the market depend on how far out we look. #ETF

Like clockwork, the S&P 500 opens and moves higher, and then something happens that has been one of those things you notice and can never forget.

I never can say with certainty that a market is about to spike higher, plunge or do something in between. #markets #investing

All of the country ETFs that underperformed, but now sell at microscopic valuations compared to U.S. large cap stocks. #ETF

How could anyone could have predicted that the beloved, iconic Apple Inc. (AAPL) would fall 15% in roughly 3 months? $AAPL

Every investor can figure out what they want to buy, and then explain to you why they own it. #ETFs #markets #investing

RSP may be overvalued like much of the stock market, but is showing greater signs of a potential bubble-like up move than anything else on the list

We are early into the melt up phase, a la January of the year 2000. That implies potential for a monster up move. #markets

Sometimes the best investment decision is to keep a lot of dry powder, rather than force things. #markets #investing

When that all-time high was the last step in a 2 year peak to trough to peak process for this index, some might think of it more as 2 years of nothing

This is how we get an economy that some feel great about, but many are miserable about. #markets #ETFs #investing

Mike Tyson has a often-quoted expression on Wall Street. Everyone has a plan…until they get punched in the face. #ETF

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are the clear generals here, and they are both stuck trying to break to new highs. #stocks #investing

We're starved for good long-term ideas. But the charts are about to give us a clue. #investing #charts #ideas

This month has been an absolute textbook case for so many of the things I’ve tried to educate investors on about how markets really work.

The markets are acting like they are waiting for a very important event to occur. #markets #stocks #investing 

In investing the past 2 years have been rough all around: most of the stock market and the bond market have been red ink. #markets

Don’t trust the S&P 500 over 4,500. Not until it proves that it is doing more than running on fumes when it reaches that perch.

If my choices are stocks and cash, what % would I have the stock market right now? #stocks #investing #strategy

The longer this period of investing malaise goes on, the more favorably I look at bonds versus stocks. #stocks #bonds #investing

Technical analysis is not simply looking at a single picture with lots of confusing lines on it, making a call. #markets

From 2010 through 2022, there were hardly any 1-year periods where the S&P 500 didn’t make a profit. #stocks #investments

One of the highest-risk investment market environments of my 37-year career. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t profit opportunities. #stocks

The fact remains: this is THE BEST time of our lives to be tactical traders, instead of traditional investors. #investing #stockmarket

Like I always say, the markets tell us an ongoing story. All we must do is listen. Please listen carefully this summer. #investing

This market environment makes everything a rental and not something we expect to own for years. #investing #stockmarket

Investors are going to have to do more than just hide in cash. They will need to expand their investment universe. #stockmarket

This is not a market to fear. It’s Winning Time! What are YOU going to do about it? #investing #advisors #wealthmanagement

You make money on what you think you know (or because the market goes up) But you lose money on what you find out you didn’t know.
