Folks, the market is in a very precarious situation right now… The S&P 500 Index, our broad measure for stocks, is frothy with volatility. And the market has endured a series of rallies and crashes since the beginning of this year. Don’t let this back-and-forth environment bait you into taking unusual risk. I’ve learned an …
Roughly 90 days ago, I issued a warning to investors… I explained how and why a 20% broad-market drop was possible – and even likely. Sure enough, stocks went on to suffer their first official bear market since the COVID-19 crash in March 2020. The S&P 500 Index fell as much as 12% in two …
It’s unquestionable at this point… The “rolling crash” has rippled into almost every market sector. The benchmark S&P 500 Index is down about 20% from its early January peak. And the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index is down around 30% from its November 2021 peak. We’re nearly halfway through 2022 already, too. It’s a bloodbath for …
All things considered, William Henson had a great day… Henson only waited 40 minutes to fill up his car. A week earlier, he had waited an hour and a half. Plus, it could’ve been much worse… At least Henson didn’t bump his car into another while waiting to buy gas. A man who did that …
Regular readers know I’ve spent decades using data to track Wall Street. But sometimes, Wall Street just comes right out and tells you exactly what it’s thinking… JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is Wall Street’s ultimate insider. Earlier this month, he warned folks to get ready for a financial “hurricane.” And he followed it up …
Editor’s note: As we told you a few weeks ago, Chaikin Analytics founder Marc Chaikin recently joined quantitative fund manager Meb Faber on his podcast, The Meb Faber Show. Marc and Meb talked for roughly 35 minutes during the interview. They covered everything from Marc’s early career to what he’s “bullish” on today – and …
In the 1980s, I joined Drexel Burnham Lambert… The investment bank was famous for its “junk bond” department. But it also had a quantitative analysis department. That’s where I met George… George was a “quant” with something truly special at the time – a quantitative database. Now, regular Chaikin PowerFeed readers know I learned about …
I recently sat down with quantitative fund manager Meb Faber for an interview… If you’re not familiar with Meb, he runs The Meb Faber Show podcast. And he’s closing in on 100,000 Twitter followers. (If you’re a Twitter user, you can find him right here.) Meb’s “day job” is managing 12 publicly traded exchange-traded funds …
On Friday, I explained that many investors fall into the “big picture” trap… The short of it is that these folks use the S&P 500 Index as their barometer for stocks. And when the broad market is headed up, they simply look for the “hot stock of the day.” Without even realizing it, investors taking …
Many investors began worrying about a crash earlier this year… And Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February amplified those fears. The S&P 500 Index lost as much as 13% from the beginning of 2022 through early March. That put the benchmark index in “correction” territory for the first time since the early days of …
