@jethro:The recent decline in the US stock market has sparked concerns among investors about the future outlook. While the market has experienced a significant rally in 2023, following a steep drop in 2022, experts remain divided on whether this upward trajectory will continue.  Key Factors Influencing the Market Several factors are influencing the current market sentiment and future outlook: 1. Interest Rates: The Federal Reserve's monetary policy, particularly interest rate hikes, has been a major driver of market volatility. While the Fed has indicated a potential slowdown or pause in rate hikes, the uncertainty surrounding their future actions continues to weigh on investor confidence. 2. Inflation: Persistent inflation has been a major concern for investors, as it erodes purchasing power

@koolgal:I opened $Schwab US Large-Cap ETF(SCHX)$  ,It is Action Time when the markets are down!  SCHX is one of the best low cost ways to tap into 750 stocks of the largest US companies.  It tracks the Dow Jones US Total Stock Market Index, and has an expense ratio of only 0.03%.  SCHX even pays dividends every 3 months.  The current dividend is 1.33%.  SCHX has just paid its dividend on December 16.  The next one will be due in March 2025.  The stock market is currently on sale and this is the best time to go bargain hunting.  @Tiger_comments  @TigerStars

@Barcode:$FedEx(FDX)$ 📈💹🅑🅤🅛🅛🅘🅢🅗📊💹 FedEx (FDX) is primed for a strong move upwards! 🚀📈 My chart shows resistance at $300, with potential to hit $320 in the short term. UBS raised its price target to 350, citing the separation of FedEx’s package and LTL businesses as a key value unlock for shareholders. 💼📦  Analysts’ average price target is 316.68, with confidence building for more gains. 📊 With strong fundamentals and a bullish trend, FDX could be this season’s delivery of profits! 🎁  Happy trading ahead Cheers BC 📈🚀🍀🍀🍀

@Shyon:I believe it's completely normal and healthy for the market to experience a pullback and correction after several weeks of a rally. The market can't keep climbing indefinitely without taking a breather. These corrections are actually necessary for long-term stability, allowing the market to reset and prepare for the next phase of growth. The rally we've seen was strong, and it’s only natural that we would see some consolidation after such a run-up. This isn't the end; rather, it’s just a temporary pause as we prepare for the next potential rally in the future. As for the Christmas rally, I believe it has already run its course for 2024. The rally kicked off earlier this year, and while it had a strong start, it seems that we’ve already seen the peak for this period. The combination of hawk

@Shyon:2024 has been a year of growth for me. Through my investment experiences, I’ve learned that investing requires patience and perseverance, not just skills. Market fluctuations made me anxious, but I’ve learned to stay calm. In the past, I often made impulsive decisions due to short-term swings, but this year, I realized that a long-term perspective is key to success. I also learned the importance of emotional management. Investing isn’t just about numbers; it’s about controlling emotions. Market volatility and outside opinions can affect my reactions. Staying calm and making rational decisions has been crucial to my progress. When I feel anxious, I remind myself to analyze situations carefully and avoid emotional decisions. These lessons have helped me succeed in investing and improve my em

@jethro:Well did anyone though of the telecommunications service providers and the banks? Almost all transactions now can be done by mobile phones with banking n other apps...
