Quote:
Harry S. Truman famously requested a "one handed economist" for just this reason. Anyway, yes, Labor Force Participation Rate is an interesting statistic, but, in my opinion, one often misused and misunderstood. How and *why* is it changing is the key. The recent decline noted above has been attributed in part (by some economists) to two income families becoming single income families, by choice. "Bad" or "Good"? |

I think this question sums up some of part of this debate quite well: Are Stocks Short-Term Oversold Or Long-Term Overbought?

if you did not own AAPL MSFT GE FB GOOG the last 6 mo, and instead only owned the SPX495. You are down another 22% or so... A lot of concentrated performance is disguising the real damage.

China down another 5%
US Markets are trying to look the other way, but looks like there is some "sell on the blip" today. |

Well, since most of the new posts are only made when the market is down,
I'll be a contrarian and post that the DOW is looking at a 150 point gain this morning (S&P 20, NAZ 50) |

Sold off one of my bond funds and put everything in the S&P. I was looking for a reason to sell this fund for the past six months or so and with the drop in the market, it gave me a good excuse to move around stuff in my portfolio.

Been a fun time to go long volatility, via vehicles such as UVXY and TVIX.
Gut-wrenching moves. 10, 20, 25% in either direction daily. Not for the faint of heart. |
