What do you call a group of stocks that fell 10%, then another 20%, then another 30%, then another 40%, and then got cut in half? Oil services. This group of stocks, think Halliburton, Schlumberger et al., are collectively down 86% from their peak in 2014. If you know absolutely nothing about investing, you know the phrase " buy low sell high." This idea makes sense in theory, but in reality these four words have been responsible for more wealth destruction than any other quote in the investor's

There was some unusual activity in the stock market today. It was a risk off risk on type of session. The S&P 500 was up more than 4%, but some of the market internals didn't exactly scream everybody back in the pool. Stocks have grabbed all the headlines over the last ten days, but the move lower in interest rates was arguably more extreme, with the 10-year falling from 1.57% to 1% over that same time.

Maybe the only absolutely-iron-clad-physics-like-law in all of finance is that the best days and the worst days cluster in periods of above average volatility. Exhibit A Exhibit B The volatility will continue until morale improves.
