We’re ready to head into the second week of May, and let’s cross our fingers here in New Jersey the weather starts to warm up SOON! If you haven’t already, go check out the Mullooly Asset Management YouTube channel. The latest episode came out last week, and is linked below.
Here’s what I’ve been reading this morning:
‘Are We Actually Headed Toward a Recession?’ – Mullooly Asset Show
- A lot of people are saying that we are heading toward a recession… but is that what’s actually happening? In times like these it’s crucial to not let our decision making be driven by the latest headlines. In this week’s video Tom discusses signs in the stock market and economy that are being overlooked.
‘The Case For Buying a House Right Now’ – Ben Carlson – A Wealth of Common Sense
- A house right now? In this economy? All jokes aside, Ben uses this article to make the case for buying in this wild housing market. Even though less than a third of Americans think it’s a good time to buy, Ben makes a good case.
‘How to Think and Act For the Long-Term’ – Michael Batnick – The Irrelevant Investor
- Last week was absolutely BRUTAL, right? Well, if you look at the S&P 500, the index was down -0.2% for the week. That’s it. But the day to day felt a lot worse. Michael writes about how to look through the daily noise and think/act for the long-term.
‘Some Things I’m Not Going to Regret in 20 Years’ – Ben Carlson – A Wealth of Common Sense
- We’ve all made some dumb decisions in our lives. We’ve all also made some really great decisions too. As Ben writes, life is a series of trade-offs. He writes down a handful of trade-offs he’s made that he most certainly will not regret later in life.
ENJOY!
