Volatility has always been creeping into the stock market, and when you see the results you think it wasn't bad for the investors after all. If you are a long term investor, you shouldn't be worried about a market that can be choppy sometimes.  Crypto currencies and Bitcoin can be scary to invest in, but you need to be aware of it. These days with the inflations going on, it seems it's the best time to give it a real test. Specially now that the stock market is under pressure, and the employment rates aren't looking good, there is no excuse for Crypto not to rise, unless the sharks aren't buying into it.

 Shares in the major US stock market are trading lower this morning. The main reason is the mixed feeling that Q1 results are posting. On one hand we can see a lot of growth compared to last year, but if we focus on the overall Q1 only, a lot of companies weren't able to continue the momentum they got last year, specially in tech. The divergence between Nasdaq and DOJ has become a norm, which is historically rare, except for the years associated with the internet bubble. Strong economical data is flashing a sell signal because historical data shows that all time highs in manufacturing and Services PMI stalls the market for 3 to 6 months. Another factor is the the fact that the stock market is priced for perfection; S&P's forward price-to-earnings ratio is at its highest since the 90s. Finally seasonal sell effect is around the corner while May is approaching.  Let me know what you think. Keep smiling and stay charitable.

 Shares on the US stock market are pointing to a positive open this morning after moving around the flat line the whole night. This is the continuation of yesterday's record highs in day gain by DOJ based of better than expected jobless claims and consumer's spending. Jobless claims started off with nearly 7 million in Apr 2020, and still about 19 million people are collecting jobless benefits. With these numbers and the terrible economy, it seems 576000 new claims means the situation is in a recovery. However, the long term impacts of such employments is still unknown. Oxford released a research that found that the rate of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis or blood clots in Pfizer and Moderna is similar to AstraZeneca vaccine; 4 in 1 million vs 5 in a million respectively.

Keep smiling and stay charitable.

This suggests a long term investment opportunity. I wrote on Tue about the impact of a fall in the economy on the stock market's prospects. But what will happen when the economy bursts with flying colors? Obviously if you consider the current situation, you can see how the economy is reverting back. Although the stock market didn't stay in the dips like the economy for a long time, the reversal in the economical situation should have an impact. I believe the impact could be negative, but a short term one. Because, when the economy begins to have positive prospects ahead of it, it could be a bull situation for the market too. Consider this, the stimulus checks that the gover...

 Stock futures are pointing at a solid positive open this morning. This is the first trading after the news of adding 916k jobs, mostly to the hospitality sections, so it's the first chance investors will have to react to it. Stocks have been expected to have a much bigger correction this but they are still going up, with S&P hitting records highs every once in a while.

 NASDAQ and S&P are headed towards a higher open this morning, ahead of ADP's employment data for Mar. This is while Wall street's earning forecasts were revised down last week due to bing-spending slowing down with public restriction easing. The good news seems to be priced in the market, while the bad is yet to test the waters. While Pfizer continues the good news, such as the 100% efficacy on children younger than 12 and bringing the hope of school opening from Sep, AstraZeneca seems to be disappointing. This is the continuation of Trump's efforts by pressurizing Europe. Trump's method was a fist fight, going after tariffs such as Germany's auto makers or France's wine. However, Biden's method is more difficult to blame because it's hard to evaluate and monetize the impact of such policies compared to the tariff's war. The propaganda on AstraZeneca has put a lot of doubt on recipient's minds that's obviously going to be painful for EU ...

Apparently such big number has been happening for nearly a decade, which should make a lot of us proud of beating these levels on yearly basis. Specially we shouldn't get into the feelings of bothering ourselves about not investing more or why we didn't catch a perfect low or a high. A consistent gain is perfect enough. Let me know what you think. Keep smiling and stay charitable.

Also Biden announced tht all adults will get the vaccination by May and outside gathering could get an ease by Jul. US producer prices are on the rise indicating an inflation.  It seems we can safely get back to the investing, however tech related stocks should have direct relation with people starting to go out and perhaps traveling.

I was hoping that this trend would be short-term and we could get into a reversal soon. However, today when I saw oil going higher, with military involvement in the middle east, it made me think that the West is back to old tactics again, maybe due to lack of options (no more st...
