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.

             Lincoln National released a statement on Thursday announcing an update to it's quarterly dividend, which was agreed upon at $0.45 per share. The dividend is for the companies common stock, and will be payable on May 1st, 2023 in accordance with holdings at the close of business on April 10th 2023 (BW, 2023).

            We have an interesting few weeks ahead of us. We will be keeping a close eye on debt over the next few quarters. The Federal Reserve is doing what it can to slow inflation, but household debt among Americans reached a new high based on the fourth quarter reports from 2022. Total household debt in the United States rose from $16.5 trillion to roughly $16.9 trillion, an increase of $394 billion (NYFED,2023). Mortgage debt is still the main holder of most household debt among age groups. Student loans and auto loans are higher among those 18-29, but credit card debt is higher among those between 40-60 (NYFED, 2023). The next months, I will be looking at companies such as American Express, CapitalOne, and Discover. All loan service and credit card companies. All of which are also down a combined -2.62% on the day. A total of -8.32% on the week.

             Below I put a few of the stocks I have been monitoring closely this past week.

Where Your Treasure Lies: Biblical Wisdom for Peaceful Investing

  Where Your Treasure Lies: Biblical Wisdom for Peaceful Investing Matthew 6:21 "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."                              I remember the first time I was offered an investment from another person. It seemed so great. You can probably guess my frontal lobe wasn't fully developed so it was the best idea I had heard. I made some smaller investments prior with Vanguard Funds, but let's just say they did not make me any money. Again, terrible decision making. After I started investing in the "best investment ever", I quickly learned that it was costing me more money without making but some money. Almost the opposite of what a mortgage is! That investment turned out to be Premium Life Insurance... Do I need to say more? We have all been given the Opus Mutiny that Premium Life Insurance brings great wealth upon retirement, or that it is a great way to have ...

How Much Longer Can The Lenders Hold Their Breathe Above Water?

                                      How Much Longer Can The Lenders                     Hold Their Breathe Above Water?                         This past week I was able to get a great interview from a loan manager, and I recently submitted this piece to the Wall Street Journal. Below is the opinion piece for you to read! Let me know what questions come to mind, and what answers you think the banks and lenders have!          This is just one of the many fascinating conversations I hope to have. I plan to start sharing more technical analysis of the SPX Financial stocks as well. Let me know what you think!
