The stock market dropped Tuesday as bond yields inched higher.The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 170 points, or 0.6%. The S&P 500 dipped 0.4% and the Nasdaq Composite declined 0.7%.The U.S. indexes entered this week with a three-week losing streak and had all been solidly in the green to start trading this week—before dropping into the red again.@Daily_Discussion

Though Tuesday's closing levels showed relatively modest daily moves, the S&P 500 fell below its previous intraday low for the year during the session. That move was seen by many as confirmation that the summer rally for stocks has failed.The S&P 500 is now 24.3% off of its record high, and the Dow is also in bear market territory, down roughly 21.2%. The Nasdaq Composite, whose decline dates back to last November, is 33.2% below its high-water mark.The next key metric for investors in the days ahead could come from the bond market, where the 10-year Treasury yield has surged to just below the 4% level.@Daily_Discussion

As many as I can. I’m a voracious reader who can easily read 15 to 20 books a month depending on length. There’s no real plan. I read what strikes my fancy at a given moment.  If you’re looking for something to read that will improve your ability as an investor, I’d recommend any of the books below. All 3 of them are deeply informative and will leave an impact on you. 1. The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham Described as “by far the best book on investing ever written” by none other than Warren Buffett. “Chapters 8 and 20 have been the bedrock of my investing activities for more than 60 years,” he says. “I suggest that all investors read those chapters and reread them every time the market has been especially strong or weak.” 2. The Little Book that Beats the Market by Joel Gree

I take side on new energy. New energy will continue to rise in the upcoming decade, edging out fossil fuels and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Technologies such as solar and wind are at the heart of transformations taking place across the global energy system. Their increasing deployment is crucial for efforts to tackle greenhouse gas emissions, reduce air pollution, and expand energy access. The world is doubling down on EV adoption with government subsidies, policy changes and infrastructure buildup. And $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$  has gradually established itself as a leader in the e-mobility space. This should be the perfect backdrop for solid growth into the foreseeable future. Tesla's strong business performance during a challenging

Share of Apple (AAPL) fell 1.3% after a report the tech giant is backing off plans to increase production of its new iPhones this year after demand for the product failed to meet expectations.Apple is backing off plans to increase production of its new iPhones this year after an anticipated surge in demand failed to materialize, according to people familiar with the matter.The Cupertino, California-based electronics maker has told suppliers to pull back from efforts to increase assembly of the iPhone 14 product family by as many as 6 million units in the second half of this year, said the people, asking not to be named as the plans are not public. Instead, the company will aim to produce 90 million handsets for the period, roughly the same level as the prior year and in line with

I vote for $Apple(AAPL)$ because of its ecosystem. Apple's ecosystem is key to its success. iTunes, the App Store iOS, macOS, Apple TV, Siri and Home all tie together.  Apple has built resilient and sticky ecosystems by changing the way its products interacted with one another. Apple added the ability to use iMessage and FaceTime from an iPad, for example, allowing you to carry on your iPhone conversations on a tablet. Then it introduced a similar feature to Macs, also adding in support for full phone calls. The more Apple devices you used, the better they worked together. Siri launched on iPhone and iPad and eventually on Mac and Apple TV and even the Apple Watch. It became a familiar voice to answer

I do not have automatic investments plan yet.  However,  I plan to create automatic investment plan using Tiger's auto-investing function in the near future. The stocks and ETFs that I intend to auto-invest into include: 1.$Apple(AAPL)$  2.$Alphabet(GOOGL)$  3.$Amazon.com(AMZN)$  4.$SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF(SPLG)$  Setting up automatic investments plan is a good way to get into dollar-cost averaging, which is a fancy way of saying that the shares I own will have had a variety of purchase prices because I bought them at different times.
