When the market goes up, everybody complains. When it falls, everybody complains.

So, I was wrong. Yesterday, I posted my expectation of a measured move. And it failed. Twice the futures tried to set up a pullback, twice that attempt failed and markets finished red. After exceptional, and never seen before, 3% drop in a row, a 1% selloff now seems like a lukewarm tea for babies. Continue reading →

What’s next in the stock market after this big rout?

The selloff we just experienced exceeded all my expectations. I do not remember when I saw the market drop more than 3% in two consecutive days. It was amazing! Well, of course, if you forget, that it was your money on the table in this rout. It is also a never seen move action when Continue reading →

A needed correction on the way – don’t panic

Selling never feels good and people have hard time to handle it. It’s their money and they fear them getting lost. They start rushing to protect the value of their portfolio and start selling. Pouring oil into fire. However, this is not the time for panic and time to start selling. If you knew this Continue reading →

The stock market is now at all times highs. What are you buying? Are you worried about a recession?

I keep buying what I have been buying since 2006 and that is high quality dividend growth stocks. If you look at the chart from 1982 to 2000 (that is 18 years long bull market) the market was making new all time highs until 2000 for 18 years. 18 years of all time high market. Continue reading →

Coronavirus fear overblown. Load up anytime Wall Street freaks out.

Apple (AAPL) said that they will not meet the revenue guidance due to Coronavirus and market participants pooped their pants again. Futures down 0.45% (now recovered a bit to -0.34%). This virus is an old news. Come up with something else. I do not want to belittle the death of people, but just in the Continue reading →

As we approach 2020, are you bullish or bearish on U.S. stocks for dividend growth investors?

Definitely bullish. I expect this market to go a lot higher. However, there will be corrections on the way up. By “a lot higher” I am referring to the secular bull market which in my opinion will last for the next 15 to 18 years and delivers substantial gains. However, it will not be a Continue reading →

Here is a list of all high quality dividend stocks – champions (aristocrats), challengers, and contenders, Dividend Growth Stocks CCC list go Continue reading →

What is the best way to enter stock trading with a limited budget for beginners in 2020?

Are you referring to “stock trading” or “stock investing”? Because there is a huge difference between the two. If you really mean “trading” then unfortunately you I have bad news for you. You won’t get rich quick. You won’t be able to trade successfully in a small account. You may have some success but long Continue reading →

Going into 2020, is there too much optimism in the stock market?

In fact, there is not too much optimism despite markets moving higher. Too many people are sitting aside expecting a crash, too many investors are pulling money out of the market (check equity funds outflows), too many pundits are speculating and competing in predictions who would nail the coming crash and recession. All this is Continue reading →
