Nasdaq is up over 2% - other indexes closing in on 2% - we are back in business folks.
Re: U.S. stocks continue to soar!
Smooth sailing and sunny days ahead. BUY EVERYTHING!
Re: U.S. stocks continue to soar!
Thank me later. I'm certain the only reason the market is back is because I was about to head over to Ross Stocks For Less and drop some cash while stocks were on sale. Now that the sale is apparently over, I'll have to get them at department store prices.DaftInvestor wrote: ↑Tue Oct 16, 2018 12:55 pm Nasdaq is up over 2% - other indexes closing in on 2% - we are back in business folks.

Re: U.S. stocks continue to soar!
Was today the largest one day percentage gain of the year? If not, it's got to be way up there.

According to Reuters, "Wall Street's three major indexes tallied their biggest one-day percentage gains since March. The small-cap Russell 2000 recorded its biggest single-session gain in nearly two years."
So it wasn't the largest for the Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq, but it definitely was for small-cap!

Thanks! My mid-cap growth fund was up around 2.7% today. It sure felt like the biggest day of the year.IcedDog wrote: ↑Tue Oct 16, 2018 10:47 pm According to Reuters, "Wall Street's three major indexes tallied their biggest one-day percentage gains since March.

Not at days end. Pretty level day - minimal loss.

Be careful out there.

It's still down with yeasterday 6oo pt drop. Any rebound is a chance to exit I would think. 10 year treasure is 3.15% guaranteed. Do you think is equity can beat that in next few years?

Up yesterday and rising some more today - soaring upward - although not quite back to the top yet....

Re: U.S. stocks continue to soar!
Pretty sure my 401k contribution buys at the end of the trading day. Sigh, once I again I miss out on the bottom (for now). I want to buy on a deep discount!
Re: U.S. stocks continue to soar!
I was thinking the same thing. My 401K buy is today and it is also my payday so I was going to put a little in taxable - but with it being up 1.6% yesterday and looking to be up an equal percentage today looks like I'm missing the bottom of this particular trough.
Still down from most Highs but ...
(Of course for me - I'm looking at only about $2000 more in - so assuming a 3% uptick from a couple of days ago its only a $60 missed opportunity. Thanks to DCA'ing throughout the year....)

Re: U.S. stocks continue to soar!
Has anybody else noticed the pattern in the last month that on down days value out performs growth and on up days growth out performs value. Not looking to do anything with that just interesting.

I'm sure you'll have your chance at some point. Hopefully there aren't too many lives ruined in the process.

Just don't look at the volume indicator
Market history shows that when there's economic blue sky, future returns are low, and when the economy is on the skids, future returns are high. The best fishing is done in the most stormy waters.

Re: U.S. stocks continue to soar!
Yes. Growth funds have gone from more consistent outperformance vs value to the more recent mixed bag, following the pattern you describe, with a little deviation here and there as I recall. It's interesting because value now has a reputation as something of a modest safe-haven in bad times, relative to growth, and we are seeing that contention actually play out on a day to day basis. as if the stars were all aligned.fennewaldaj wrote: ↑Thu Nov 01, 2018 12:30 am Has anybody else noticed the pattern in the last month that on down days value out performs growth and on up days growth out performs value.

I have suspicions about one aspect of what might be happening, but it's kinda pointless to articulate -I'm not going to change how I invest.
