Market Declines And The Problem Of Time
Image Source: Pexels When stock markets rise, the bullish narrative tends to dominate, overlooking the potential impact of market declines. This oversight stems from two main problems: a basic misunderstanding of math and time’s critical role in investing. Every year, I receive the following chart as a counterargument when discussing the importance of managing risk during a portfolio’s life cycle. The chart shows that while the average bull market advance is 149%, the average bear market decline is just -32%.So, why bother managing risk when markets rise 4.7x more over the long term than they fall? As with any long-term analysis, one sho... -

Fed Performs CPR On A Cadaver
Image Source: Pexels The FOMC meeting and press conference for September was projected to be a dovish one. Fed Chair Powell was expected to cut rates by 50 bps. The preponderance of Wall Street lackeys were busy begging for a series of immediate and deep reductions in borrowing costs. Some in D.C., like Senator Elizabeth Warren, were obsequiously begging for 75 bps in cuts in a thinly veiled attempt to keep a Democrat in the White House. Well, Mr. Powell didn’t disappoint. He began his first rate cut in four years with a 50 bp cut. Thus proving that he is ignorant to the damage already done to the middle class by the level of prices. In c... -

Softs Report – Friday, Sep. 20
COTTON General Comments: Cotton was lower again yesterday on ideas that the Monday rally was overdone and reports of increased farm selling. There are still ideas of weaker demand potential against an outlook for improved US production in the coming year. There have been demand concerns about Bangladesh and China and ideas are that production is strong enough. The Delta should have the best looking crops right now even after some very hot weather recently and now some big rains moving through the region, but crops in other areas are more suspect. Texas and the Southeast have seen some extreme heat so far this year, and Texas has also seen dry... -

Gold Lackluster After Fed
Image Source: Unsplash Gold’s reaction to the most-dovish Fed decision in years proved lackluster. Plenty of traders thought gold would surge after an outsized rate cut birthing a new cutting cycle. And with top Fed officials projecting many more cuts, it is going to be big. Gold did rally initially on that revelation, but quickly reversed into a larger intraday loss. Fed rate cuts are bullish for gold, but speculators’ gold-futures positioning is overextended.On the eve of this latest Federal Open Market Committee decision, gold closed at $2,568 just off the prior day’s latest nominal record high of $2,582. Heading into Wednesday’s ...
