Innovation Set to Spur New Roarin’ 20s-Style Market

The stock market is a forward-looking animal, explains Sheaff Brock Managing Director Dave Gilreath, yet signs indicate that clues to what lies ahead may be found in our Roarin’ 20s’ USA past. There is a very real potential for the Dow Jones Industrial Average to hit 50,000 by the year 2027, Gilreath states. That’s because the decade of the 2020s, like the decade of the 1920s, will be marked by both disruption and innovation. “Confidence in the recovery is growing rapidly,” [...]

Sheaff Brock | S&P 500 is a measuring stick of the 500 largest US corporations

30 Oct

Please Welcome to the Stage…the Standard & Poor’s Index!

It’s a measuring stick, a benchmark, a way to discuss our investment markets. But what, exactly, does it DO? The S&P 500 index measures the value of the stock of the country’s 500 largest corporations listed on the New York Stock Exchange or on the Nasdaq Composite. The idea? To provide investors a quick look at the stock market and the economy. And, while many investors first check the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 index is the [...]

Real Estate Investment Trust Valuations—Bricks in the Wall of Worry?

The “Wall of Worry,” an informal expression used in financial jargon since the 1950s, refers to a market uptrend that occurs when there is significant uncertainly about stock price sustainability. But what about REITS? Are these stock/real estate hybrids bricks in the “Wall” as well? “Long before investors fell in love with Facebook and Amazon.com or even the hot stocks of past generations such as utilities and railroads, real estate inspired dreams of wealth,” writes John Coumarianos. “Some financial advisers and pundits helped [...]

This Bull May be Younger than You Think!

For investors worried that the stock market is so high that it has to be headed for a drop, Sheaff Brock Director Jim Murphy wants them to know he’s not having any of it. “At Sheaff Brock, we believe this is a ‘market of stocks,’ not a ‘stock market,’” he explains. Translation: The big upward price movement in the Dow has been primarily driven by its most expensive stocks, specifically the FANG (Facebook, Apple, Netflix, Google) and Microsoft. There are [...]

Passive vs. Active – The Beauty of Both

One question any investor must consider is whether to take an active or passive approach to investing. Per Investopedia, “The predominant investment strategy today is active investing,” which attempts to beat a particular benchmark and “outperform the market.” Continuing, the article points out, “anomalies and irregularities in the capital markets can be exploited by those with skill and insight.” By contrast, passive investing, the authors explain, is an approach based on investing in exactly the same securities, in the same proportions, [...]
