    Looking for the best mutual funds to help me save for retirement.

    Posted: 26 Jan 2022 10:29 AM PST

    Best Mutual funds for someone saving for retirement.

    I have my main account for trading stocks and options, but just set up a Roth IRA for retirement. I'm self employed currently, so I've never had to make my own retirement account before and have 0 experience with mutual funds.

    I'm going to deposit $50 or so monthly until I retire(age 25 now) or have the ability to deposit more.

    It'll go in automatically and I'm going to basically set and forget it. Which fund(s) would be the best?

    I don't really have more to say, but the post keeps getting removed because I don't have enough characters. Hopefully this is enough. Thanks in advance for anyone who answers my question!

    Is learning economics a good way of avoiding losses in the stock market?

    Posted: 26 Jan 2022 11:07 AM PST

    Is learning economics a good way of avoiding losses in the stock market?I'm a newbie, both in economics and the stock market so please correct me if I'm wrong

    So i recently saw someone complaining about how the stock market is unpredictable no matter how much you research, and how the S&P 500 crash was totally incalculable, but if you understand how the government policies control inflation by driving interest rates and how higher interest rates will affect businesses and especially banks you can to some degree predict the ups and downs of the major listed companies and therefore the performance of the stock market, so i was wondering if learning economics is a good way of avoiding losses and getting gains in the stock market?

I think there is still some choppiness ahead.

    (1/26) Wednesday's Pre-Market Stock Movers & News

    Posted: 26 Jan 2022 05:42 AM PST

    Good morning traders and investors of the r/StockMarket sub! Welcome to Wednesday! Here are your pre-market stock movers & news on this Wednesday, January 26th, 2022-


    Dow futures rise more than 300 points ahead of important Fed announcement


    Stock futures rose Wednesday following another wild session for the market as investors await results from a Federal Reserve meeting expected to set the tone for 2022.


    Dow Jones Industrial Average futures climbed about 330 points, or 1%. S&P 500 futures added 1.3%. Nasdaq 100 futures gained 2%.


    Microsoft shares rose 4.3% in early morning trading after the company issued better-than-expected quarterly revenue guidance. Boeing was marginally higher after the aircraft maker reported positive cash flow for the first time since 2019, but took a $3.5 billion pre-tax charge on its 787 Dreamliner program.


    Tesla shares popped 3.6% with the electric vehicle marker slated to report earnings after the bell. Moderna rallied 2.8% in the premarket, rebounding after falling for eight straight days.


    The Fed is set to conclude its two-day policy meeting Wednesday and make an announcement in the afternoon. The central bank is not expected to make any policy changes, but investors will look for clues on when — and by how much — the Fed will raise interest rates later this year. Market participants will also look for hints on further steps the Fed will take to unwind pandemic-era aid.


    Recent market volatility is unlikely to deter the Fed from implementing as much as four or more interest rate hikes this year.


    "While significant stock market volatility leading up to an FOMC meeting would normally weigh on Fed policy and commentary, that is not the case this time around, given the extreme levels of inflation seen in recent months," said Danielle DiMartino Booth, head of Quill Intelligence and former advisor to then-Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher.


    "Optically, it's better for the Federal Reserve to ignore the stock market volatility, which is mainly affecting wealthy investors, and instead focus more on taming inflation, which is primarily affecting Main Street," Booth added.


    U.S. stocks are coming off a second consecutive roller coaster session.


    The Dow ended the regular trading day Tuesday down 66 points, or 0.2%. However, the 30-stock average was down as much as 818.98 points on the session and briefly traded up by as much as 226.54 points. Those moves came a day after the Dow recovered from a 1,115-point deficit to post a slight gain.


    The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also closed well off their session lows on Tuesday, but still lost 1.2% and 2.3%, respectively.


    Anu Gaggar, global investment strategist at Commonwealth Financial Network, said this sharp volatility is a byproduct of investors bracing for tighter monetary policy from the Fed.


    "The market is exhibiting withdrawal symptoms as it is dealing with the possibility of the removal of the Fed put," Gaggar said. "It almost feels like the market is behaving a little incoherently, not knowing which way to go – go down because the Fed is tightening or go up because the Fed is finally acting to rein in inflation and is loading up on ammunitions while economic growth remains strong."


    "Between rate hikes and tapering the $9 trillion balance sheet, we could be looking at a monetary regime that is changing quickly," Gaggar said.


    Treasury yields have jumped sharply to start the year in anticipation of tighter monetary policy from the Fed. Last week, the benchmark 10-year note yield briefly broke above 1.9%. Yields nudged higher across the curve Wednesday morning, with the 10-year near 1.79%.

    Here is a Market Recap for today Tuesday, January 25, 2022. Another wild day

    Posted: 25 Jan 2022 02:42 PM PST

    PsychoMarket Recap - Tuesday, January 25, 2022

    Stocks staged another afternoon resurgence but still closed the day lower as market participants look ahead to new commentary by the Federal Reserve on Wednesday. Volatility has greatly increased in 2022 as investors digest the fastest pace of inflation in decades and the Fed's hawkish pivot and ongoing earnings season.

    Markets Today

    • S&P 500 (SPY): -1.22%
    • Nasdaq (QQQ): -2.37%
    • Dow Jones (DIA): -0.24%
    • Russell 2000 (IWM): -1.32%
    • Volatility Index (VIX): +3.11%
    • 10-year Treasury Yield: 1.78%
    • Amazon (AMZN): -3.15%
    • Microsoft (MSFT): -6.46% (including after-hours drop)
    • NVIDIA (NVDA): -4.48%
    • Capital One (COF): +2.60%
    • Mind Medicine (MNMD): +25.48%
    • Smile Direct Club (SDC): +24.62%
    • Sierra Oncology (SRRA): +43.78%
    • Bally's (BALY): +22.65%

    Volatility in the stock market has been fueled by escalating worries surrounding monetary policy, as the Fed pivots from supportive monetary policies to intervening on rising inflation with tighter policy and interest rate hikes. On Wednesday, market participants are bracing for the release of the Fed's latest monetary policy statement, which will give further clues regarding the timeline of a potential interest rate hike.

    Brian Levitt, global market strategist for North America at Invesco, said "The Fed tightening monetary policy is not a great backdrop for equities. It doesn't mean we run for the woods. It doesn't mean that the business or market cycles are over. It's just investors should expect some volatility."

    As Q4 earnings season continues, market participants who viewed rising corporate profits as a potential relief from inflation concerns have little to be optimistic about. According to David Kostin, US Equity Strategist for Goldman Sachs, out of 64 companies in the S&P 500 (SPY) that have reported earnings, only 52% have beaten consensus estimates so far, well below analyst expectations and a massive slowdown compared to last quarter (though this is not unexpected as comparisons become more difficult).

    Moreover, we have seen a lack of guidance from companies amid unpredictable inflation and COVID-related conditions. Kostin said, "Investors are most interested in forward-looking guidance from management, and recent information on that front has been concerning. Five of the six S&P 500 firms that provided formal 1Q 2022 guidance following 4Q results lowered expectations."

    Jeff Buchbinder, chief equity strategist at LPL Financial, has a different, more upbeat take. He says that despite supply chain disruptions, wage and other cost pressures, and the Omicron variant, companies in the S&P 500 that have reported so far are still tracking to show 5% earnings growth year-over-year, in line with historical averages.

    Microsoft (MSFT) stock dropped more than 5% after-hours after the company reported earnings, despite the company beating top line and bottom line expectations and showing strong year-on-year growth. "As tech as a percentage of global GDP continues to increase, we are innovating and investing across diverse and growing markets, with a common underlying technology stack and an operating model that reinforces a common strategy, culture, and sense of purpose," Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in a statement. Here are the numbers:

    • Revenue: $51.7 billion versus $50.9 billion expected
    • Earnings per share: $2.48 versus $2.31 expected
    • Intelligent Cloud: $18.3 billion versus $18.3 billion expected
    • Productivity & Business Processes: $15.9 billion versus $15.9 billion expected
    • More Personal Computing: $17.4 billion versus $16.7 billion expected

    The Conference Board reported its consumer confidence index ebbed to a reading of 113.8 this month, slowing down from December's 115.8 but better than analyst expectations of 111.1

    The International Monetary Fund (IMF) lowered its economic forecasts for the US, China, and the global economy, indicating uncertainty regarding the pandemic, inflation, supply chain disruptions and US monetary tightening. "Our expectation is that growth will slow — as it should — to prevent the economy from overheating anymore, but it should be a fairly well-behaved transition down," IMF Chief Economist Gita Gopinath

    Standard & Poor's reported that its S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller national home price index posted an 18.8% annual gain in November, down from 19% from October. The 20-City Composite posted an 18.3% annual gain, down from 18.5% a month earlier. The 20-City results came in marginally higher than analysts' expectations of an 18% annual gain, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates.
