Financial markets over the past nearly 40 years have survived almost everything: Black Monday in 1987, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Asian financial crisis, the bursting of the dot‑com bubble, the September 11 attacks, the global financial crisis of 2008, Brexit, the Covid‑19 pandemic, and the war in Ukraine. Yet the MSCI All Country World index has... Read more
I've been looking at the $^DJI index and it's up about 12% for this year, which is a nice appreciation, but considering how other stocks and ETFs have risen, it's quite small. It's mostly due to the composition of that particular DJI ETF, as it doesn't contain many tech stocks so it's not attractive to me at all and I don't want to put money into it.
The job market showed us results and helped us end the week in growth. 🚀
So friends, for once, good news too. The latest employment data is back in the US and it is slowly painting the picture all investors want to see and that is that the job market is cooling and so for the Fed this may mean no more hikes.
Only 150,000 jobs were added in October, falling short of expectations... Read more
Great news for the job market! 🙌 It's interesting to see how this impacts the Fed's decisions on rate hikes. The recent job growth moderation might indeed influence their stance. While the market is responding positively, I agree that some corrections could be on the horizon.
US GDP grew at an annual rate of 4.9% in the third quarter, better than expected.
The U.S. economy notched a remarkable achievement in the third quarter this year, with growth exceeding the expectations of many economists and analysts. Gross domestic product (GDP), a measure of all goods and services produced in the U.S., grew faster than many had expected. This development... Read more
That's pretty positive news for the US, theoretically it could have a positive impact on the market as well, but after what Google has dropped in the last 5 days...it's hard to say
Have a nice ending Sunday and a successful start to another week full of results. 🍀💰
News from Saturday, 10/14/23 that jumped out at me and again around the Fed.
As we know, the Fed is scheduled to meet on 10/31-1/11. Originally it looked pretty realistic that another interest rate hike was coming. In the end, according to Bloomberg, the Fed is going to extend the pause. So now... Read more
The markets are giving us a clear sign to start the new week... red, technology stocks are down the most, $^NDX -1.36% trailed by $SPY with -0.45% and $^DJI roughly at zero with -0.04%, the following decline will accompany this entire trading week, possibly beyond. Or will sentiment in the markets reverse? How do you investors see it?
Mini break, the markets have been resonating for the last few days with the Fed's confirmation of hiking words and also a bit of that Russia. I'm expecting a bounce up again.
$^DJI pulled off a nice job last night. What do you think?
I think the investor joy is quite unjustified, the index is reacting positively to what it should be reacting rather negatively to - raising the debt ceiling etc.

A lot is happening right now, but I don't expect a bear market or any extreme moves. I'm sticking to my strategy and holding stocks for the long term.
