An old stock-market adage applies this month — how you should play it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over the next couple of weeks, the stock market will face some of the stiffest seasonal headwinds of the entire year. I'm referring to the period between the Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. The stock market's average return during this nine-day period is even worse than it is for September as a whole, and that's saying something, since September itself is far and away the worst month of the year for average stock-market return. Bloom Energy was just named to the S&P 500. These o
Corporate earnings have been growing at a blistering pace. Here’s why that’s not likely to last. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When it comes to earnings growth rates, it's possible to have too much of a good thing. That's because soaring growth rates — such as those seen in recent quarters — are more often than not followed by below-average growth rates, and vice versa. We therefore should resist the temptation to extrapolate the blazingly fast earnings growth of recent quarters into the indefinite future.

20 stocks likely to lose money even if the bull market continues (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Certain stocks are such poor bets that they are likely to lose ground even in bull markets. These "loser" stocks are ones that are difficult to borrow in the share-lending market and therefore hard to sell short.

Here’s some surprisingly good news for the stock market this midterm election year (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Even taking into account the stock market's recent declines and extraordinary volatility, it is far ahead of where it would be if this were an average midterm election year. I point this out because investors panicked earlier this week as the bottom appeared to drop out of the market — even if temporarily. Even after the market's Aug. 20 rout, the S&P 500 SPX was up 11.6% year to date on a price-only basis, versus a loss of 1.3% through the equivalent point of the average midterm election year f
Retirees: This investment gives you a guaranteed 5% safe withdrawal rate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Now appears to be the first time in history you can lock in a government-guaranteed 30-year inflation-adjusted withdrawal rate of 5%. All you need to do is build a 30-year ladder of TIPS — the U.S. Treasury's Inflation-Protected Securities. You would construct the ladder out of individual TIPS maturing at each point between now and 2056, holding them until they mature. It would take about an hour to build and you would need to do nothing else for the next three decades. The website TIPSLadder.co
