How to Handle This Out-of-Whack Market September 1, 2021 Big Picture. Big Profits., Investing, U.S. Economy
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan was once coined the “maestro.” That’s partly because of his mastery at orchestrating his message to the markets. But perhaps it’s time for Greenspan to hand this baton to current Chairman Jerome Powell.

Stocks Soar on Fed Announcement … but Now What? August 30, 2021 Big Picture. Big Profits., Wealth Protection
Fed Chairman Powell gave the market exactly what it wanted. Interest rates barely budged. There's no immediate talk of tapering. And everything shot up in response — growth, energy, cyclicals. But does that mean it's time to pile into stocks again? Well, yes and no.
