This is uncommon:

On Friday morning, $VIX jumped above 28 while the S&P was within 3% of an all-time high.

This also happened during the 1999 and 2020/2021 melt-ups ⬇️

Wars are breaking out.

Some scholars say we are on the "brink of World War 3."

When Russia invaded Ukraine, the S&P 500 fell -11% in 3 MONTHS.

Today, oil prices are up 5% on Middle East tensions.

So, what happens to the stock market during times of war?

2023 may be known as the year of orange juice, sugar, and chocolate

Because all three are absolutely crushing the equity indices

This is one reason why exploring alternative asset classes can help to provide uncorrelated returns, and as a result better portfolio diversification

[Dividend Growth Investor @DividendGrowth]

Coca-Cola $KO Earnings Per Share, Dividends Per Share, Total Returns between 1919 and 2014

A $40 investment in 1919, with dividends reinvested would have turned to $11.558 Million by 2014

It was never a smooth ride however, as there were several long periods with no growth

[Holger Zschaepitz @Schuldensuehner]

Returns this year in the S&P500 have been driven entirely by returns in 7 biggest stocks, and these 7 stocks have become more and more overvalued, Apollo's Slok says. P/E ratio for the S&P493 has fluctuated around 19 in 2023 while P/E ratio for S&P7 has increased from 29 to 45.

15 Biases that distort our Decision Making in less than 2 minutes:

1. Confirmation Bias - We interpret new information as confirmation of our existing beliefs.

2. Availability Bias - We tend to rely on information that comes to our mind easily/the quickest.

3. Action Bias - We favor action over inaction. That's why we sell or buy prematurely.

4. Overconfidence - We overestimate our own knowledge and ability.

Paradoxically, we feel more knowledgeable the less we know.

5. Survivorship Bias - This is a sample bias that occurs when we assess only successful outcomes and disregard failures.

6. Self-Serving Bias - Our failures are situational, but our successes are our responsibility.

7. Low-Risk Bias - We tend to reduce small risks to zero, even if we can reduce more risk with another option.

8. Commitment Bias - We avoid decisions that contradict things we have said or done in the past.

9. Dunning-Kruger Effect - The less you know, the more confident you are. The more you know, the less confident you are.

10. Anchoring - Our judgment is heavily screwed by the first information we are given about something.

11. Hindsight Bias - In retrospect, events seem more predictable than they actually were.

12. Loss Aversion - Losses weigh twice as much as the equivalent gain.

Result -> we reject gambles with positive expected values.

13. Halo Effect - You either like or dislike everything about someone or something. Nothing in between.

14. Cause-Effect Fallacy - We love to see cause-effect relationships where none exist.

15. Recency Bias - We tend to put too much weight on recent events.

$100k invested in the S&P 500 ETF 30 years ago would be worth over $1.7 million today.

Was the road to 17x growth a straight line? Far from it...

Warning: Bank credit has now entered contraction territory

After witnessing one of sharpest declines on record

Since 1974, this has only happened ONCE:

→ The Financial Crisis

Back then, this metric reached levels as low as -5%

At the current rate, a credit event is nearing quickly
