Musings Shorter update this month since life is too crazy to look backwards at the moment, plus I made a ton of trades to report (so no gory graphs demonstrating the pain I am sure that your portfolio dashboard is telling you). I don’t believe that any of the posted numbers (espec...
Musings January 2020 was a tough month for stocks but was especially tough for value and international (especially emerging markets). Source: S&P Dow Jones Source: S&P Dow Jones I hate to dwell on the ugly, but things were really ugly for domestic energy stocks as w...
The energy sector posted a gain during the final quarter of 2019. In Q4, energy commodities rebounded by 3.38%. In 2019, the sector was 15.11% higher than at the end of 2018. WTI and Brent crude oil posted significant gains on the year, but the prices had declined to low levels at the end of...
Musings After my healthy 5% ‘alpha’ victory in 2018, 2019’s everlasting bull run was hard for my conservative portfolio to match as large cap growth stocks (which drive the S&P 500 these days) blew the doors off (+31.5%) with their best performance since 2013....

Musings September was full of mixed signals. On one hand, the S&P 500 retested its all-time high (and I had a killer +4.5% month). On the other hand, the wall of worry for this long economic expansion has never seemed more daunting (trade wars, impeachment, earnings recession, etc). ...
Musings Source: Chicken Little Okay, so it’s not that bad out there (though most of us received unpleasant brokerage reports for August 2019). Furthermore, the last 12 months have been an up-and-down affair with the S&P 500 currently sitting about where it startedȂ...
Musings July 2019 was another month that was hard to predict as the market held its breath for the Fed rate decision. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I again underperformed the S&P 500 (1.4% vs -0.8%), but this was my first month of splitting directions with the market in...
