I’ve been thinking, these last couple of days, about geopolitical events. Wars, oil, inflation, lockdowns, supply shocks, etc. Yes, interesting for sure. But why am I worrying about this? Well, I’ve been thinking of selling my stocks and trying to avoid another 10%-20% or more correction in the market. I’ve been thinking about market timing….
Yesterday, I was musing about the increasing number of storms on the horizon. I really didn’t feel comfortable being invested right now. A lot of things (war, covid) could get worse and there’s no clear path for those things to get resolved. And while I was writing those words, Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase,…
It’s kinda funny that the S&P 500 made a new high on January 4, and hasn’t made one since. This gives market commentators another useless metric for saying how bad the market is to make it sound worse than it is. “Worst start to a year since 1939.” CNN The S&P 500 is about 14%…
So I’ve been thinking about big tech this month. The more I think, the more opportunity I see. I previously thought about going “all in” on big tech. And more recently, Amazon. To reduce the risk, and to make things easier for myself, I previously chose an ETF that focuses on Mega Cap Growth from…
There is an argument that can be made that Amazon is significantly undervalued in the stock market. The Pro Case The stock currently trades at $2,221 per share. Morningstar says its estimate of the fair value of the company is $3,850 per share. The stock would have to rise 73% to meet that figure. SimplyWall.st…
So BNS announced some great financial results and increased its dividend from $1 per quarter to $1.03. The company announced profits of CA$2.18 per share for the quarter, and CA$1.03 will be given as a dividend. Other banks like Royal Bank and CIBC also announced strong earnings. The rising interest rates from the Bank of…
There’s a theory called “Efficient Markets Theory.” It says that share prices reflect all information. So if we know something is coming in the future, the current share price already reflects that. If there is a chance something is not going to happen that is expected to happen, the share price reflects the proper odds…
This could be the buying opportunity of the decade. Or the start of a long, painful ride. I’m sitting on cash right now (about 75% of my investable assets) while looking for good companies to buy in the market. Today, the S&P 500 is finally down 20% off its all-time highs. The Nasdaq 100 is…
End of an interesting day. Dow down 3.5%, Nasdaq down 4.7%, and S&P down 4%. I don’t like the word crash. But the stock market is continuing its downward run. Seems like lots of bad news is hitting all at once. Target reported bad numbers. Lowes as well. Walmart surprised lower too. All these retailers…
When I see a stock go down, I just want to buy more. It’s probably not great in this environment to be like this. Because the markets have been down 4 days out of every 5, lately, and so every time I log into my account, I see a lower price. Should I “dollar cost…
