I’m afraid of the stock market. With my first investment, I lost 60% of my money. So I’m strictly into bonds. With interest rates low, what’s your advice? Should I stay or try something else? -Jerold Still, you want your money to work for you, and the prospect of big returns is enticing. So should you keep playing it safe and accept the slow and steady pace of bonds? Or should you take some risk with the hope of better returns in the stock market? Here’s how to think through this decision. (And if you need help managing your investment portfolio, consider working with a financial advisor.) Nob...

S&P 500 buyers stepped in quite early indeed – no surprise as the sell into the open couldn‘t yet have lasted. Even the battle around intraday lows spelled the return of the bulls. Q1 2023 hedge fund letters, conferences and more (…) Still, the key theme of this week is going to be Wednesday‘s CPI – look for the headline YoY figure to come in at 5.4% (no higher than 5.5% really), but for the core CPI to remain more resilient. The market will in my view again take that as "the Fed will really pivot now" (really this time), even though the core CPI wouldn‘t support that notion. I continue to thi...

On Wednesday Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT) announced plans to lay off 10,000 workers. This is the latest in a series of large layoffs over the past several months that have made headlines, mostly concentrated in the technology and information sector of the economy.

Don’t tell my wife. But me and Roth IRA Investments — we got a thing going on. After all, it’s the greatest wealth-building tool. Roth IRAs offer one of the best ways to invest for retirement, and many experts even consider them the best retirement account. This is because you can grow your Roth IRA money tax-free for decades and then withdraw it tax-free in retirement. In other words, the government will never touch your nest egg. However, a Roth IRA is not an investment in itself. Why? You’re not buying a Roth IRA. Instead, you’re opening a Roth IRA account. Then you choose which investments...

The Broad Market Index was up 0.06% last week and 48% of stocks out-performed the index. Stocks were very strong last month even with the higher volatility. With corporate growth high and rising it is not a surprise that stocks would perform well. What is changed is the support from the bond market. Rarely interrupted for nearly 30 years, the persistent increase in bond prices (lower interest rates) goes a long way to account for the broad increase in asset values. Q4 2021 hedge fund letters, conferences and more Long treasury bond prices have fallen 15% since their December peak and the yield...

Dear fellow investors, Q3 2021 hedge fund letters, conferences and more Overall common stock index performance can be a very confusing thing to most investors. From a cyclical standpoint, the history of stock price performance in the U.S. is closely associated with the Federal Reserve Board. When the Federal Reserve Board reverses an accommodative interest rate policy, it is affectionately referred to as “pulling the punch bowl.” Why do stock prices fluctuate with monetary policy and where are we in that cycle? Did the Federal Reserve Board Chairman, Jerome Powell, just “pull the punch bowl” o...

With all of humanity’s collective knowledge available at our fingertips, you’d think investing myths would have disappeared by now. Q3 2021 hedge fund letters, conferences and more Yet they persist, largely because too many people consider money a “taboo” subject and avoid talking about it. Many of us also never question these assumptions, so we don’t bother running a quick web search in the first place. These persistent investing myths cost you money though, in a very real sense. Once you move past these myths, a wider world of investing opportunities open up for you. When it comes to new inv...

S&P 500 bulls didn‘t make much progress even though the credit markets initially favored the daily rebound to stick. Bouncing between the daily highs and lows, the 500-strong index gave up a few moderately good opportunities to take on 4,390 again. VIX understandably calmed down on the day, but doesn‘t give impression of yielding too much to the downside – on the contrary, it seems to be on a general uptrend since early Jul. Volatility is returning, and that‘s characteristic of the unfolding correction. Q2 2021 hedge fund letters, conferences and more How far lower would it reach? The 4,340 fo...

Friday’s jobs report was very good indeed, and now the focus shifts back to inflation with this week’s upcoming data releases as investors continue to speculate about the timing of the Fed’s decision to taper its bond purchases. It looks like investors are starting to believe that we are getting very close to that time and Fed Chair Jay Powell may well provide the roadmap for tapering either at the Jackson Hole Symposium or at the FOMC’s September meeting. Several Fed officials including Vice Chairman Richard Clarida, Mary Daly and James Bullard have all recently indicated that an announcement...
