There’s money to be made in the stock market. Whether it goes up or down. Sort of like Vegas - red or black but not quite the same thing. Technicals reveal momentum.

A crash in the face of rising interest rates is commonplace. A stopped clock is right twice a day.

Keep an eye on the FOMC. They are the ones that cause market crashes and recessions.

purely politics by the DMN. They hate Trump. If they can talk the market down, they will blame it on him.

Here is my take on just 5 companies’ stock

AAPL - 707 bln market cap - 450 bln “my Valuation” = 257 bln “overvalued”
GOOGL - 573 bln market cap - 305 bln “my Valuation” = 268 bln “overvalued”
MSFT - 497 bln market cap - 310 bln “my Valuation” = 187 bln “overvalued”
FB = 386 bln market cap - 225 bln “my Valuation” = 161 bln “overvalued”
AMZN = 399 bln market cap - 72 bln “my Valuation” = 327 bln “overvalued”

Yes I think the author is correct. Anyone smart would get out of the high fliers. They are way over valued :(

Several times over the last several decades, friends told me to get out of the stock market. I didn’t, the market severely dipped in value, my friends sold at a loss, and then the market strongly recovered. I made money. In 2008, I lost a third of my money (technically on paper) in the market. It recovered and my money more than doubled from what it was before the dip. Time is your friend in the stock market. Stay in long term, and you’ll keep up with inflation and then some. The market is not for those who panic due to emotional whims. My main concern is paying taxes on the gains, waiting for President Trump to reduce taxes and then I’ll sell.

And if the market tanked, whose fault would that be?

These guys crack me up.

The stock market could have moved significantly before anyone is able to translate this sentence into English:

“The fact that only “new news,” things that people don’t yet know or expect, should change stock prices means that stock movements are supposed to be random — that is, unpredictable.”

And by the way - the stock market is manipulated. What the International Bankers count on are folks panicking and selling on the dip, so they can buy and ride it back up. For example, if you sold a basket of NASDAQ stocks after the November, 2016 Trump Panic manufactured dip, you would have locked in any losses, and missed the 10 per cent gain since then.

Don’t panic, watch fundamentals, and go along for the ride.

The markets will have corrections. Position /diversify your assets to minimize the hit.

The markets will rebound eventually. So if you didn’t sell in the panic, you didn’t lose any money.

Princeton economist Burton Malkiel popularized this point in his famous book A Random Walk Down Wall Street.

I consider A Random Walk Down Wall Street to be one of the best books written on personal finance and investing in the stock market and other assets. Actually, I consider it the best (but I have only read a dozen or so books on the subject).

Rising stock market makes Trump look good so all you need to dump your stocks to bring it down.

A smart long-term investor never "gets out of the stock market." One chooses his stocks wisely and rides the ups and downs over the long term. Dollar-cost averaging helps to smooth out the bumps along the way.

I've been reading this "get out of the stock market" baloney since 1979. That was the year that "My Sharona" by The Knack topped the charts.

This time or any other time, if you are going to trade learn to read the charts better than other people. They tell a story of demand and supply, not the whole story, but enough to give you an edge. Combine this edge with a consistent approach, following rules that will limit your losses when you are wrong and allow for bigger gains when you are right. Trade small amounts at first, and always write down and follow a set of rules. If the rules don't work, adjust them until they do and follow them. When the rules work consistently, trade larger amounts.

Trading is like gambling. The typical player loses money in the long run. The house gains money by having an edge and following rules that exploit the edge. Be like the house, not like the typical player. Learn to read the charts and apply discipline, or just don't do it.

Precious metals are going up while the stock market is also going up. This is unusual as of late.

Forget what these talking heads on TV and the internet are saying - BUY STOCKS, SELL STOCKS, BUY GOLD, THE SKY IS FALLING, GET OUT NOW, blah, blah, blah ....

***To win over the long-term as in investor = get a CFP professional, use proper asset allocation, manager selection, stay invested during downturns, stay disciplined, and use technology.

The average investor over the last 20 years earned 2.1% annually. S&P 500=8.2%. REITS=10.9%. Why so badly for the average investor? Because they naturally do the wrong thing at the wrong time. They buy high & sell out low. They want to cut their own hair and it usually ends up a mess. Having a good CFP can avoid all this and provide much higher long-term, risk adjusted returns for investors.
