Back in October I wrote a post about veteran investor Jeremy Grantham, co-founder and lead strategist in Grantham Mayo Van Otterloo. Mr. Grantham describes himself as "contrarian", and known as "perma-bear".
Well, folks, it sounds like this particular perma-bear has gotten much more bearish since October.
Morningstar just published an amalgam of "strategic" forecasts on stock and bond performance over the next 10 years. They are somewhat sobering, particularly fo...

So I joined the competition… I am a total newbie in options trading. My goal is humble: to learn how options trading works in practice, learn the ropes, feel the beat wtc. etc.
I placeda couple of otders for SPY options; now waiting to see how they will do (somewhat anxiously).

It's that time of the year again when various experts from all corners of financial industry make market predictions for the year. Jason Zweig, one of my favorite WSJ columnists, recently published an article How You Can See Through Wall Street’s Ritual of Wrong on the subject.
Mr. Zweig starts from pointing out a well-known trend: most of the time most of predictions are wildly inaccurate.
By Every December, Wall Street predicts what various assets will return over the c...

I have two features in mind.
First: It could be useful to have AI assistant for researching stocks. I realize not everyone is ready to trust AI recommendations for actually making trades. At the other hand, looking for relevant information and digesting it is something LLMs are quite good at. One potential use case is: AI looks at my watchlist and searches through recent market news/articles about companies from the watchlist. Then it would digest and summarize: i...

I spent some time with moomoo Algo Trading feature. I am not a quantitative analyst, and I have a very basic understanding of quantitative trading. Thus, the purpose of this exercise was not to build a perfect trading algorithm but rather to discover and assess Algo Trading. I have no opinion on whether quantitative trading is generally suitable for retail investors with day job, and I cannot offer any strategy recommendations (mostly, because I do not know any). T...

The most enlightening moment in my 2024 investment journey was US presidential election. The outcome of this event seems to change market trajectory, at least in the short term. Bond yields are on the rise, foreign markets are retreating, and don’t even get me started on bitcoin bull market. The lesson learned in that market is ever unpredictable and may go sideways in a moment.

This week’s market is still under spell of US election. Stocks are obviously on a tear, though my humble and uneducated opinion is that what we see might be a temporary bull market. Today is day two after the election, and almost everything is up, even bonds and gold. Only asset categories that grew rhe most yesterday are down, specifically bitcoin and small-cap stocks. I am going to do a bit of intraday bitcoin trading: it’s volatile at the moment and I think there is a potenti...

Why is it economically viable for online brokerages to offer commission-free trading? The reason is something called Payment for Order Flow.
Investopedia offers a solid explanation of how it works but, in my opinion, the article in Vox provides a better illustration:
To illustrate how this works, let’s suppose the bid of Company XYZ stands at $99.00 and the ask sits at $100.00, creating a spread of $1. An investor wants to purchase shares of XYZ at the mid...

According to WSJ, upcoming US economic data for October will be skewed by hurricanes Helene and Milton, as well as Being strike.
For jobs report:
October’s number will be depressed not just by the storms, but the Boeing strike. Economists expect the report will show the economy added 100,000 jobs.
Federal Reserve governor Christopher Waller in a mid-October speech said he expected the hurricanes and Boeing strike to reduce employment growth by more than 100,000 jo...
