What continues to fuel this rally

By Small Cap Trader On November 21, 2009 NO COMMENTS

The current 7 month rally on Wall Street is unusual for a number of reasons, first and foremost being the lack of statistical relevance.

Fundamentals are the building blocks of an orderly market. The sanity of long term investing is based upon this principal.

Earnings and the P/E ratio(Price easnings ratio) historically give a focal point for evaluating a reasonable trading range for a companies stock.

This is not currently the case. Most companies have improved their balance sheets by reducing overhead, shedding employees, and reducing inventory.

These factors are admirable ,as corporate America attempts to weather the perfect storm of a heavy recession, an ultra left wing economic policy, real unemployment over 17%, and an arguably ineffective policy of squandered stimulus and corporate bail outs.

Mutual fund wealth and the relationship between investment portfolio risk and returns

By Small Cap Trader On October 13, 2009 NO COMMENTS

As you are making personal finance decisions and retirement planning decisions, individuals should ponder the fact that, before, conservative financial investments have tended to result in much less investment returns than those investments considered more risky have produced.

With investment returns adjusted for risk, you simply cannot get better returns without exposure to higher risk. As a person takes on increased investment risk, an individual could be able to invest more and save less, due to the fact that the return on investment on such an investment portfolio has historically been higher than a less risky asset portfolio. However, you need to appreciate that the expected financial outcomes are less assured.

On the other hand, if you choose to take not as much investing risk, individuals must anticipate the need to increase savings and to have a higher investment contribution rate. But, the expected results are likely to have a more sure

However, you need to realize that the expected financial outcomes have a lower probability.
