It should be no surprise to you to see a lot of stocks, ETFs, and REITs on the stock market, go up. A new earnings season is upon us and I for one am excited to see if any big changes can be seen. I want to see the changes, especially in Retail and Streaming. These two categories get a lot of heat, never mind all of the current customers they tend to.
This is one of the first times my portfolios are in the green. It’s been a wild ride, starting in February of 2021, we have gone through a few ups and downs. We had panic selling, bear markets, and inflation that crushed the market. But if you were resilient and listened to the wise words of Warren Buffett, you would have bought when everyone else was selling. You would have doubled down on the companies you think are the right ones.
If you were buying throughout the turmoil, give yourself a pat on the back. It’s one of the hardest things to do, watch your money slip further into the red, day after day, week after week, until it all changes.
We still have a while to go and since its earnings season, it could be a wild ride still. Inflation is coming down, but does that mean consumers are spending money again? Are they going shopping, are they picking up services they cancelled? These are good questions that will be answered with earnings reports.
How have you fared during all of this hectic bear market? Did you listen to Warren Buffett, or did you panic?
