Stock Pickers, Now Is Your Time … Hmm, Maybe Not 🤷🏻

Without fail each year, stock pickers declare that the time has come when high-cost actively managed funds finally outperform their passive counterparts (ETFs).

Every year, they are wrong.

Fewer than 10% of stock pickers outperform the S&P 500 and it’s a different 10% each year 📉

Consider the advice of Burton Malkiel, the author of the investing classic “A Random Walk Down Wall Street”:

“You buy individual stocks as an add-on, and because it’s fun. So if you do it, do it because it’s fun, not because you think you are an expert stock picker and you think it is the way to get rich.”

In short, if you like gambling, use your “fun” money to pick stocks.

You may or may not score some incredible gains.

But if you want to build wealth, be a boring investor and allocate a big portion of your portfolio to low-cost index funds through dollar cost averaging 💰

The Fed Refuses To Accept Victory 😤

The Federal Reserve refuses to concede victory in its battle against inflation—but the stock market has other reasons to feel good about the future.

Despite the fact that inflation data is coming in lower than expected, the Fed has refused to acknowledge the improvement.

Between strong GDP growth and the AI revolution, for now the market doesn’t need rate cuts to justify higher than normal P/E multiples.

The bull market appears well supported 🐂

Keep An Eye On French Parliamentary Elections 🗳️

The world is often highly synchronized; trends in one part of the world tend to echo in other parts of the world.

In recent years, there has been an undeniable upswing in the popularity and volume of left wing ideology, and so called centrist governments have done little to push against the winds.

Left wing political movements have embraced anyone willing to join their goal of upending the western political order.

Often, this has included waving in immigrants who practice radical Islam and contribute not only to violent crime, but also erode democratic culture and institutions.

Perhaps Europeans have had enough ❌

It appears the center is collapsing in Europe and the battle is taking place between left and right.

First round parliamentary elections take place on June 30 and second round elections take place on July 7.

The outcome might provide a hint for what we might expect in our elections in November 👀
