any thoughts on the overall market? My 401k only allows me to be in funds are closely based on either the DOW, S&P, Gbonds, or a mix of international markets.
I was about to move into the G fund right after we hit the all time high in US markets but I found an article that shows the markets moving up an average of 15% in the 52 week FOLLOWING the market breaking an all time high after 52 weeks below the previous high--hope that makes sense.
I tend to worry when you see oil tanking like this, just not sure its due to the overall economy or not.
Thoughts?
One thing to note is that the market as a whole is not longer as largely influenced by oil as it was a few months back. But if oil falls back down close to the lows, it'll cause from panic again and investors will start to play by its rules again.
Right now things are a little sideways. We recently had a nice pop up to new highs, and now it's kind of lulling over. I think we will continue higher but it could take a little to break out of this basing period, especially with oil in the gutter. But overall earnings have been pretty positive and I think it should provide the steam needed to continue upwards. Short-term looks pretty slow though. After earnings season is out of the way we'll probably see a pickup again.
