HUGE WEEK FOR TECH STOCKS- 5 of Mag 7 Report Earnings. Nvidia does NOT, but it could absolutely be the biggest mover. BECAUSE it’s a highflier (understatement of the year), and it’s largest customers are going to tell you how much their spending on ‘hyperscaling’- aka Nvidia Chips. I don’t care what Tech stock you own, you’d better have your POPCORN READY this week! Let me know what you think Nvidia does on all these companies comments! #techstocks #sp500 #nasdaq #tech #nvda #finance #trader #trading #stocktrader #investor #investing #magnificent7 #investment #personalfinance #cfp #lifegoalnation #lifegoalinvestments

Goldman Sachs just released a report projecting just 3%/year return for S&P 500 over the next 10 years… They also project bonds to outperform stocks over the next decade- with 72% probability. AND YES, bonds historically carry a fraction of the risk of stocks (using the widely accepted risk metric, standard deviation). 2 stated headwinds against stocks returns moving forward: Valuations- their favorite valuation metric is the CAPE ratio- which has only been more expensive 3% of the time throughout history. Concentration Risk- they believe the stocks that have dominated recently (ahem, MAG 7), cannot continue to have the sales growth and unbelievable margins they’ve experienced. AKA- they think competition is coming. Goldman doesn’t have a crystal ball, but they’re also not stupid, and they have no vested interest in poo-poo-ing stocks… TAKEAWAY: if you’re not owning BONDS, PLEASE MAKE SURE THERE’S A GOOD REASON- because they’re projecting a 72% likelihood they outperform S&P 500, AND they historically have a fraction of the risk. Disclosure: past performance is no guarantee of future returns. And, there’s nothing to say that Goldman Sachs’ outlook comes to fruition. #goldman #goldmansachs #fisherinvestments #finance #personalfinance #investing #investor #sp500 #stocks #stockmarket #bonds #cfp #cima #lifegoalnation #lifegoalinvestments

The STRENGTH of the U.S. Dollar caused the Federal Reserve’s SUPER SIZED INTEREST RATE CUT in September. WHAT?!?! It certainly doesn’t feel like we’ve seen the dollar strengthen… “Well, why doesn’t my dollar buy me as much?!” I get it. But the reality is, the U.S. Dollar has pretty much done nothing but go up in value against foreign currencies for the past 15 years. Sounds great! BUT, it makes our goods more expensive. It makes foreign buyers less able to buy them. It puts more stress on foreign economies (which are already weaker than the U.S. economy). It puts more stress on U.S. economy. As a result of the above, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates—in SUPERSIZED FORM—last month in September. Let me guess- you haven’t heard this take from anyone else on social media- I’M SHOCKED. Follow me to get smarted financially, EVERY SINGEL DAY. #finance #investing #investor #thefed #federalreserve #cfp #cima #marketanalysis #interestrates #dollar #foreigncurrency #inflation #economics #economy #personalfinance #lifegoalnation #lifegoalinvestments

Buying Stocks like a 5 year old. Before I hear “Nvidia’s a Great Stock…”- this is not commentary on Nvidia… SO 🤫. This is a funny story explaining that my 5 year old daughter goes through just about as much due diligence when picking stocks as the average Joe/Jane. Which is also why the average investor massively underperforms the market (JPMorgan has done several studies on this). Over the next year, I vow to put out content every day (well… more days than not), that will undoubtedly MAKE YOU A MORE INFORMED INVESTOR. HIT THE FOLLOW, YOU WON’T REGRET IT. #finance #personalfinance #investing #investor #stocks #stockmarket #sp500 #letsgetsmarter #trader #stocktrader #lifegoalnation #lifegoalinvestments
