Why the Rally Really Stopped This Week

By , Global Credit Strategist, Money Morning • @MichaelELewitt -

Dow Jones Industrial Average

Stocks finally broke their five-week winning streak as the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 87 points or 0.5% on the week to close at 17,515.73. The S&P 500 dropped 14 points or 0.7% to 2035.94, while the Nasdaq Composite Index fell 0.5% to 4773.50.

All in all, it was a quiet holiday-shortened week in which investors ignored a major terrorist attack in Brussels and comments from several Federal Reserve governors that they are itching to raise interest rates.

Apparently both terrorists and Fed governors are losing their ability to frighten investors.

What To Expect From This Bear Market Rally

By , Global Credit Strategist, Money Morning • @MichaelELewitt -

stocks

Stocks rallied for the third straight week in what appears to be a classic bear market rally. Investors should count their good luck and use higher prices as an opportunity to reduce equity exposure or hedge stocks they don't want to sell. 

The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped by 367 points or 2.2% to 17,006.77 while the S&P 500 rose by 52 points or 2.7% to 1999.99. The Nasdaq Composite Index rose 2.8% to 4717.02. The major averages have gained about 10% since their February lows, giving investors hope that the worst is over.

I do not believe it is. Despite some moderately positive economic news last week, the global economy remains depressed and the prospects for significantly higher stock prices are low. Let me explain...

All three indexes are solidly in the red for the year with the Dow down -8.33%, the S&P 500 down -8.77% and the de-FANGed Nasdaq down -13.38%.

Bear Market 2016: How Much Lower Is the Dow Headed?

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning -

More than 50% of the S&P 500 stocks are down 20% or more from their 52-week highs. And the Dow Jones Industrial Average is down nearly 11% from its May highs.

And the Dow will fall even further in the next few months...

Dow Jones Industrial Average Plunges Again: What to Do Next

By , Chief Investment Strategist, Money Map Report • @kfgtotalwealth -

Dow Jones Industrial Average

At times like the present, one question inevitably rises to the very top of the heap... what do I do next? Sadly, millions of investors will never know.

For them, the markets are like a one-way street to financial hell. Lacking any sort of cohesive plan, they lurch from one "investment" to another only to doom themselves to sub-par returns.

Fortunately, you're not among them. You're here, and that gives you a tremendous advantage, especially on days like today, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummets.

So let's tackle that question with an answer that is as powerful as it is simple. And, while we're at it, let's highlight a recommendation that's uniquely suited for today's chaotic markets...
