When I’m introduced to new people and they learn that I’m in the financial publishing business, it’s always interesting to see what their follow-up question or comment will be.

I want to let you in on a secret… Wall Street doesn’t make most of its money from the stock market. While trading equities constitutes a large part of “big banking,” if you were to add the value of all the stocks in the world it would only come out $36.6 trillion. Don’t get me wrong, that’s a big number. It’s also one reason brokerage commissions have been the bread and butter of Wall Street firms since the New York Stock Exchange was founded in 1817. But the truth is there’s a much bigger market out there. This market, which… Read More

I’d like to share a little story with you today. I’ve told this one before, so if you’ve heard it, please bear with me. But I think it’s appropriate for today’s issue… A newlywed couple is on their honeymoon in Las Vegas.  They had a sensible budget for gambling: a thousand dollars. However, by the third night that money was gone.  When the husband settled into bed for the night, he noticed something on the dresser. It was a $5 chip that he decided to save as a souvenir earlier in the day as their gambling budget evaporated. Then, suddenly,… Read More

I’d like to share a little story with you today. I’ve told this one before, so if you’ve heard it, please bear with me. But I think it’s appropriate for today’s issue… A newlywed couple is on their honeymoon in Las Vegas.  They had a sensible budget for gambling: a thousand dollars. However, by the third night that money was gone.  When the husband settled into bed for the night, he noticed something on the dresser. It was a $5 chip that he decided to save as a souvenir earlier in the day as their gambling budget evaporated. Then, suddenly, a vision appeared in his mind’s eye. The number 17. It had to be a sign. The husband quickly threw on his hotel bathrobe and went downstairs to the roulette wheel. He placed the chip on number 17. Sure enough, the wheel hit 17 and the 35-1 bet paid $175.  He decided to let his winnings ride, and once again it landed on 17, paying $6,125. And so it went, again and again, until the lucky groom was about to wager $7.5 million. The pit boss intervenes, claiming the casino would not pay out the winnings on such a large… Read More

As markets continue to rise, volatility has been near record lows. But in the past couple of weeks, we’ve seen glimpses of a return to volatility — and a possible pullback in the works.  People forget what that’s like. They get lulled into a sense of complacency when the stock market — and their own personal portfolio — is gradually pacing up each and every day. But remember: this isn’t normal. A pullback is bound to happen sooner or later. A full-blown “correction” (when the market drops 10% or more) is completely normal. That’s why I recently interviewed our very… Read More

I’ve been doing a lot of reading these days about my own generation: the millennials. While I’m at the older end of the cohort, and don’t necessarily identify as one, even I will admit that we’re a tough bunch to figure out. You’ve heard the stereotypes — and many of them are true. We’re notoriously fickle, embrace irony at every opportunity, and were colored markedly by technology (as well as the financial crisis). But here’s what you might not know… the millennial population is now 75.4 million, according to the Pew Research Center. That group (born roughly between 1980 and 2000, depending… Read More

I’ve been doing a lot of reading these days about my own generation: the millennials.

We’re notoriously fickle, embrace irony at every opportunity, and were colored markedly by technology (as well as the financial crisis). But here’s what you might not know… the millennial population is now 75.4 million, according to the Pew Research Center. That group (born roughly between 1980 and 2000, depending on the source) now outnumber the 74.9 million baby boomers (late 1940s to 1964). Given this data — especially the fact that older millennials (like myself) are in their early 30s (prime years of consumption) — companies have been trying to wrap their heads around just what it is that makes us tick. There’s big money in that, after all… From my perspective, here’s how the media tends to portray millennials (maybe you’ve found yourself thinking this, too): — Very tech-savvy. — Hate being labeled. — Easily bored, distracted, crave instant gratification, and constantly on the move. — Waiting longer to get married,… Read More

I have to admit, this past Wednesday gave me a bit of a jolt.  All of the major indices were down sharply, as investors began to get nervous about news from Washington D.C. The S&P 500 suffered its largest one-day drop since September. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 1.78% and the Nasdaq gave up 2.57%. All of a sudden, it seemed, investors were waking up from a haze of complacency. After all, prior to Wednesday, volatility in S&P 500 options (measured by the VIX) had reached a 24-year low. That’s usually a sign that the market is about… Read More

I have to admit, this past Wednesday gave me a bit of a jolt.  All of the major indices were down sharply, as investors began to get nervous about news from Washington D.C. The S&P 500 suffered its largest one-day drop since September. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 1.78% and the Nasdaq gave up 2.57%. All of a sudden, it seemed, investors were waking up from a haze of complacency. After all, prior to Wednesday, volatility in S&P 500 options (measured by the VIX) had reached a 24-year low. That’s usually a sign that the market is about to crash. Would this be the day the shoe finally dropped and marked the end of the bull market?  Interestingly, the catalyst for Wednesday’s drop wasn’t from any revelations from Washington about tax policy, infrastructure spending, or the like. Rather, it was because of new reports about President Trump, the Russians, the FBI and the like.  I won’t get into further details — chances are, you’ve already formed your own opinions. But if you’re like me, you’re waiting until more information comes out before forming any judgments. Yes, things could get ugly — more bad news could come out that… Read More
