Best news information article yet!!! Say it again Jon.
To telling it like it is. If you get mad or upset sit back and read it again.
Thanks
Sorry John, you're a little late on the train...that's a tell tell sign. And we've started to see it...just as everyone all of the sudden loves stocks again is when you're going to hear that giant woosh...
I thought it would be higher than this, somewhere close to 200-day MA when the reversal came, but resistance has been stiff in the current area and after 1 month of earnings there's nothing left to fuel the rally, there's no good news and absence of bad news.
That was the key to the current rally...the bad news got less bad, and quit coming as often, and positive news made its way in. The market has actually rallied 33% from the low...too far too fast, and there is nothing to sustain it.
I'm just saying a retest of the lows is a near certainty, and we're not going to have a V recovery no matter what the bulls think. Earnings drive stock prices and we simply are entering a period where earnings growth will be anemic, if at all.
Right on the money. Remember it is never a loss until you sell...and where ever the market has been it will return too.......
And yes earnings do drive stock prices.......but consumer confidence is really what it is all about....and it has been consumer confidence that has driven the market down...and is now pushing it upward.
Confidence first, which translates into buying, and earnings second, which will follow....and the circle begins once again
I feel sorry for the woman and the thousands like her who fell victim to this market and their financial advisors advice.
The hardest thing to do in any market is Do Nothing; especially in a market like this one.
Last week I sold a piece of my S&P 500 Index fund to cover the balance of my cash needs for the next six months. It's the same thing I did six months ago. That's about it for my trading activity last year.
I don't have a financial advisor.
What you are talking about doesn't make any sense. I'm retired, pulled my investments back and it was a wise move. I'll keep my money where it is right now, for the next year, and re-evaluate what is happening in the stock market at that time.
You talk as if everyone is 19 years old and is looking to make long term money investments. That will probably work if a person is less than thirty. Are all you investment types doing ludes! The only people with any cash right now are the baby boomers, such as myself, and I don't feel like feeding the the young and stupid.
