Investment Corner: More in Market Indexes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you are someone who watches stocks, you likely have at least one index that you watch in order to get a sense of how the market is doing. A stock index, put simply, is a measurement tool designed to track the performance of a particular group of publicly traded companies. Critically, one should note that the most commonly followed indexes in the U.S. do not track all public companies; they track only a particular group of stocks. For example, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, or “Dow”, tracks
Investment Corner: Market Indexes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When someone asks me “How is the market doing today?”, I can’t always give a quick and easy answer. That’s because we typically equate “the market” with one of several market indexes, but each index gives us different information. In the U.S., the most-referenced indexes are the Dow Jones Industrial Average, or “Dow”, the S&P 500 Index, and the NASDAQ Composite.

How can you tell a good company to invest in from a bad one? With hindsight it’s easy, but in the moment, it can be very difficult. That’s why most investors are better off investing broadly in the market, according to an abundance of evidence. In a study published in 2010, Eugene Fama and Kenneth French found that actively-managed funds, where the managers select the individual companies that they like while excluding others, generally offered no measurable advantage after accounting for their
Investment Corner: Dividend Investing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a financial advisor, I am sometimes asked to give my opinion on dividend-paying stocks. Many retired investors hope that a dividend stock portfolio will provide a steady stream of income while growing the portfolio. My goal for most of my retired clients is the sameâincome with portfolio growthâand I use a strategy that follows over 100 years of research and evidence to pursue that goal. First, some facts. Dividends are payments that companies make to their shareholders, typically from th
