I haven’t updated my blog in a while, so here are some random market thoughts (in no particular order): 1) In mid-December 2021, I turned cautious on the market, mainly because the Fed started talking about taking all their accommodation away. In a series of announcements between early December 2021 and mid-January 2022, the Fed [...]
There’s a generation of new investors that think stocks go up forever. Before I continue, I would like to emphasize two points: 1) I’m not being critical because when I first started investing, I thought the same thing. 2) Over a 10, 20, 30-year period, the indexes always go up, but the majority of individual [...]
There’s a reason the late, great Marty Zweig came up with the phrase “Don’t Fight the Fed.” They’re not the only thing that controls the market, but they are very influential.

Since the April 2020 low, I’ve been bullish on the markets for two main reasons: The strong technicals and the accommodative Fed. I started writing articles around that time saying that even though the pandemic will get worse, “it doesn’t mean the stock market has to go lower.” Over the past two weeks, these two [...]
I want to write a few words about the elephant in the room. The major indexes are near all-time highs, but many growth stocks are in corrective phases (almost bear market-like behavior). Why is this happening? The why isn’t really that important. Part of it has to do with the continuous sector rotation, and part [...]
