The S&P 500 is on the cusp of a bear market – is it really this bad?

If we wanted to try to find some kind of holiday-appropriate description for the stock market this Christmas season, I suppose it would make sense to compare it to the infamous Grinch from from Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It certainly seems that as we moved from Thanksgiving into December, much of the prevailing tone and sentiment in the market turned increasingly sour. Even yesterday, on a holiday-shortened trading session traders seemed to chose to emphasize the negative, focusing on the prospect of a long government shutdown and the job security of Fed chair Jerome Powell.

Did John Bogle really criticize his own creation?

In an article for the Wall Street Journal that was excerpted from his new book, “Stay the Course: The Story of Vanguard and the Index Revolution,” John Bogle, the founder of The Vanguard Group and creator of the first index mutual fund asked an interesting question: “What happens if it (indexing) becomes too successful for its own good?” More →

Dogs of the S&P 500? These 3 stocks crashed 20% or more this week but could be good values now

The market closed a volatile week with yet another selloff on Friday, and has managed to push both the S&P 500 as well as the Dow Jones Industrial Average nearly into correction territory with the NASDAQ 100. Along the way, investors, analysts and experts everywhere are now asking the question about where the market is going to go from here. Days where the Dow moves 300 points or more in a single day have seemingly been the norm over the last couple of weeks, and that is something that makes the market a hard place for most investors to keep up with.

What’s Going On With Dividend Stocks?
Dividend investments have been loosing ground lately.

If the FED raises rates 4 times in 2018, there will be more ground lost.

However, there is a dividend strategy that will do well no matter what happens.

Introduction

One of the most loved investing strategies is dividend investing.

Dividends are something that we can see giving us a reward at least once a year and are a much more sure thing than many other possible investment returns. However, lately dividend investors haven’t been having a great time as, while dividend years have been going up, asset prices have been going down, especially for many of the most beloved dividend stocks.

Here’s The Truth About Investing In Argentina

I usually do the opposite of what others do.

Just a year ago, according to the Wall Street Journal, many investors—like Morgan Stanley, T. Rowe Price, and Ashmore Group—rushed to buy Argentinian stocks as the situation in the country had been improving under the new president, Macri. Their position exposure has been at least 17% of their frontier market portfolios, which is the Argentinian weight in the MSCI Frontier Market Index.

iShares even launched an Argentinian ETF and all seemed well until interest rates in the U.S. increased which made people think more about the risks and made them less attracted to the quick, high interest rate gains in Argentina. More →

This Is What You Need To Know To Be A Successful Investor

Warren Buffett has stated that all you need to know for profitable long term investing is in chapters 8 and 20 of Benjamin Graham’s The Intelligent Investor.

Chapter 8 is titled “The Investor and Market Fluctuations,” which is something we are all always intrigued by. The key is to prepare both financially and psychologically for market fluctuations.

Market Fluctuations As A Guide To Investment Decisions – Timing Vs. Pricing

Graham distinguishes between two ways of taking advantage of market fluctuations: you can time the market or you can price it. Timing assumes you predict where the stock market will go next, while pricing makes you look for stocks trading below their fair value. More →

This Is Where Graham Says To Look For Investing Opportunities

I’ll continue with my contemporary summary of Benjamin Graham’s book The Intelligent Investor as I believe that the combination of the everlasting wisdom in the book and a modern approach is all that an investor needs to reach great returns.

Today’s discussion is about Chapter 7 – Portfolio Policy for the Enterprising Investor: The Positive Side.

Today, we’ll turn from discussing how a defensive investor should invest to discussing how an enterprising investor should invest, one who devotes a fair amount of time in order to beat the market.
