First warning: I will never sell in a down cycle. Many experts are predicting a recession in the coming year. If a recession happens, the stock market could take a hit, and I could see my portfolio balance decline. When you see your investment balance falling, you may be tempted to sell your current stocks. Selling during a downturn means locking in losses, while waiting for a recovery could enable you to get that money back and then some. Hence, during a downturn, I will hold on to my investments and keep buying fundamentally good stocks I want to hold for the long term. Second warning: I will never use the money I need in short-term for investing. I definitely don't want to invest any cash I might need within the next few years. This includes money meant for my emergency fund o

i). Describe your half-year performance in one word.Excellent.ii) What did you learn from a fluctuating market?Fluctuating market present great opportunities. As the markets took a dive, it was a great time to buy more stocks of good companies. Reaffirming my strategy by adding money is generally the best decision when markets are in a selling frenzy.iii). What is your investment plan for the remainder of the year?In such markets, it may be worth it to pay closer attention than usual and change tactics accordingly, but I will not try to do this in the heat of the moment. The key is to prepare in advance. However, If you are not sure where the markets are heading, just sitting on the sidelines is not a bad idea too. Periods of heightened volatility come and go and tend to be short-lived. So

1. $American Express(AXP)$ - USA No one love American Express, but everyone recognizes its functionality. You can buy nice things with it. Similarly, US football team that doesn’t capture the imagination of other, more established team in spite of the fact that they have some established players. The U.S. players own stellar resumes, as they suit up for iconic clubs like Chelsea, AC Milan, Arsenal, and Juventus. The team neatly reflects the nation it represents, as its more diverse and multicultural than ever. Roughly half the roster consists of players of color. 2. $Apple(AAPL)$ – Portugal Hip. Sexy. Expensive. That’s the Apple way and they’ve gained a worldwide following for it. Yet, some think

Dow Jones futures will open on Sunday evening, along with S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures. A new stock market rally attempt got underway this past week, with big early gains for the Dow Jones and other major indexes. But as hopes for a Fed pivot faded again, Treasury yields rebounded and stocks tumbled from resistance. Along with warnings from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and CVS Health (CVS) that pounded their stocks late in the week, the major indexes wiped out most of their gains.

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$  The problem for Tesla shareholders is that Musk might have to sell more Tesla stock if he needs to raise short-term cash. That could be what is now impacting Tesla stock, or it could be other shareholders trying to game that potential. For long-term investors, however, that should notbe a concern. In fact, for those wanting to hold Tesla stock for years, this could be a good chance to start a position at a better price. 

$Beam Global(BEEM)$It's a one-stop shop for making sure EV drivers have a place to charge up, which is going to be a huge demand as more and more cars go electric.It probably has decades of growth ahead of it. It's a small company with $6.2 million in revenue last year, but that makes it a true ground-floor opportunity.The company is expected to double revenue this year, then double it again next year.

History is telling us that the remainder of 2022 is setting up to be quite a positive one for risk assets, at least in terms of the current election cycle. The gains aren’t just limited to the immediate post-election period either. Stocks have historically performed very well in the 12-month period following a midterm election. The S&P 500 is a perfect 18-for-18 in posting positive returns in the year following a midterm. Not just positive returns, significantly positive returns. On average, the S&P 500 has gained 15% in the following 12 months, more than double what the index typically returns. History would suggest that the odds are good, but we’ll see if it plays out again this time. It looks like we’re heading into a recessionary period with a housing market that’s crumbli

Dow Jones futures rose modestly Sunday night, along with S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures, but well off evening highs. China released Q3 GDP and key economic data while Tesla (TSLA) cut Model 3 and Model Y prices in China. while Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft lead peak earnings week. The stock market rally had strong gains last week, signaling a change in character. The 10-year Treasury yield spiked to fresh 14-year highs during the week. But yields, especially the two-year rate, tumbled Friday on a Wall Street Journal report stoking hopes for slower Fed rate hikes soon. The major indexes, up solidly throughout a volatile week, ran sharply higher Friday. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq cleared key short-term resistance, joining the Dow Jones.
