Great Sources For An Optimistic Outlook.

Great Sources For An Optimistic Outlook.



                         If you are new to the world of personal investing, or if you have been around for one year or more, you might be seeing news about the bear market. After one day of bear market news, you might come across bull market news. It can be confusing and there is no denying it! I am going to share some healthy, and refreshing links to try and show where the market is at today, and where it could be headed for the year.

                I spend most of my time tracking the S&P500, $SPX, but primarily the financial sector of the S&P. I spend a lot of time talking with mentors and other daily investors, and this is the most important source that I use. I never turn away from asking experienced traders questions, and neither should you. A few other sources I use is as follows.

             I use MarketWatch (https://www.marketwatch.com) for their AdvancedChart. I don't use market watch for news so much since they have so many independent writers. There are a lot of op-ed writers with their own market analytics who turn to MarketWatch. I find the AdvancedChart for MarketWatch to be clean and very user friendly. It is easy to see MACD lines, complete market movements for a trading day period, it is easy to compare ticker symbols, it has multiple frequencies and displays, and has great pre-market and after hours trading volumes and prices. The only complaint is that the lowest frequency is a 1-minute update, but it usually updated every big volume trade or every 30 seconds. So, I don't have much of a complaint.

          Some other sources I like to use are the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) and the FRB (Federal Reserve Board). Since I follow banks and the finance sector, I like to keep my eye on the federal calendar and important meetings coming up. I also have financial updates from the companies in the finance sector of the S&P. These updates get me corporation position changes and new products or moves the companies are making. I also get quarterly earning updates and projections for the year. These all adjust and affect the stocks I invest in, which all affect the S&P. Every little update makes a difference in the market.

                With the sources I use, I apply all of this to my investments. I also use this data to share with you! The people that follow me! I am optimistic about the market this year for finance companies. Finance companies are easing down a little bit. There are not very many layoffs and they are great at holding cash when needing, or buying back stocks when there is excess cash. Although the market is retreating to a bearish market, the finance companies are staying consistent and the market is in a much different position than 2008 from a banking and loan viewpoint.

Book Of The Week: The Richest Man In Babylon.

     Book Of The Week:  The Richest Man In Babylon.                              Personal finance. Important. Personal wealth. Important. Not starving. Also important. For this weeks book of the week, I chose the first true personal finance book I ever read. The Richest Man In Babylon by George Samuel Clason. This book is a true classic, and has been read some two million times. More than likely on the three million side at this point. It has some 36,000 reviews on Amazon, and can be found at most book shops. This is a book about personal wealth, and the laws that come with saving, and growing the money you have earned.                The story takes place roughly 4,100 years ago in ancient Babylon. We are introduced to a few characters within the story, but the main character is Arkad. Arkad started his life poor, and was hopefully to become rich. Along his journey he is introduced to the "Seven Cures" and the "Five Laws of Gold". Arkad starts out by completing a t

What Is Happening To Big Banks This Week?

      What Is Happening With The S&P500 Finance Sector This Week? End Of The Week Check-In.                   Good early Friday afternoon. I hope you all have some nice weather where you are. It is snowy, and brisk here. I think the S&P decided to follow suit this week. There was lot's of action this week in the stock market. We saw a few Fed meetings, Q4 releases for household debt, and dividend reports. The S&P500, or $SFX, showed some promise prior to Thursday's late fed meeting. As we approached the midweek, we notice a larger decline for the month as the Fed's meet, and as we see a slowing in economic growth. The S&P500 is down 1.38% for the day, while Lincoln National is down 1.49% on the day. American Express is down 1.51% on the day which is surprising since it has been up 14.40% on the month. We see some changes as we enter the midday of trading on Friday with the S&P500 down 0.28% from open. That is down roughly 0.89% on the week.
