Oil, inflation and interest rates may look like separate stories, but they are connected. Higher oil prices can make transport, production and everyday goods more expensive. If that keeps inflation high, central banks may keep interest rates higher too, which can affect stocks, bonds and even how much... Show More

A good investor does not need to have an opinion about every market move. Stocks, gold, oil and crypto can all move sharply, and every day there is a new headline explaining why. The danger is believing that every move requires a decision. Before I change anything, I ask one simple question: has something... Show More

Today is a useful reminder that diversification does not mean everything in your portfolio will protect you every day. The Nasdaq 100 is down more than 2.4%, the S&P 500 more than 1.7% and even gold more than 2.7%. Different assets can sometimes fall together, especially when markets move quickly.... Show More

The S&P 500 is falling today, and eToro has marked the move as a deep decline. Days like this can feel worrying, but a falling price does not always mean something is wrong. I simply ask whether the reason I invested has changed. If the answer is no, I do not let one bad day change a long term plan.... Show More

August closed positively. My portfolio returned +2.75% for the month, bringing my 2026 YTD return to +8.22%. For comparison, the S&P 500 gained approximately +2.6% in August, so the portfolio slightly outperformed the benchmark during the month by about 0.15 percentage points. ([AP News][1]) The...

Most investors say they are long term investors. The real test comes when the market falls. Imagine your portfolio drops 20% over the next few months. Nothing fundamental has changed. There is no leverage, you do not need the money, and your investment horizon is still measured in years. What would... Show More

One of the strangest lessons in investing is that good economic news is not always good market news. This week investors are watching US employment data while inflation remains elevated and expectations for higher interest rates have increased. A strong jobs report sounds positive, but if it convinces... Show More

Oil is falling today as markets price in a greater chance of de escalation in the US Iran conflict, and there is a valuable lesson here: markets do not only price what is happening today, they price what investors believe may happen tomorrow. When geopolitical risk rises, oil can gain a risk premium... Show More

Sometimes the hardest investment decision is doing nothing. When markets rise, we feel pressure to chase what is working. When they fall, we feel pressure to sell before things get worse. Both emotions create the same temptation: act. But activity and progress are not the same thing. If your portfolio... Show More

Today, gold and platinum surged while growth stocks remained under pressure. History shows that this pattern often appears during periods of uncertainty, persistent inflation or rising geopolitical tension. In 2008, 2020 and 2022, many investors moved part of their capital toward assets they considered... Show More
