I would love to be an unabashed stock market bull right now. It is very easy to be a market bull. People love a more optimistic message. If you are a market bull, you can have conversations about artificial intelligence, renewable energy, electric vehicles, and all that other exciting stuff. Bulls promote the idea of […]
There’s an interesting phenomenon that when bear markets rally, they only rally a certain %. It’s almost exactly that % number. Today, I want to share with you that % number, why it works out like that, and what you can expect for March in the stock market. My name is Serge Berger, I’ve traded […]
Last year, 2022, closed out as one of the worst years for investors on record. Stocks suffered a bear market, with the S&P 500 down 20% from its January high, and the Nasdaq lost 35%. These numbers weren’t close to records, but when you add the record decline in bond prices, it was one of, […]
New Year is in just a couple days. We spent Christmas in my house noisily with one of my two granddaughters in attendance, with a prime rib roasting away. As is tradition, my wife had the TV tuned to a station that plays seasonal tones while the screen is filled with a roaring fireplace. Now […]
The stock market has proven to be very resilient in recent months. Even as Federal Reserve officials talk about the need for interest rates to be higher than expected for longer than anticipated, the markets have managed to hang on to the idea that if the pace of rate hikes slows, the eventual destination does […]
Bear markets in the stock market, like the one we’re in right now, produce severe stock price dislocations. In other words, stocks get so cheap, you can pick up shares for pennies to realize fantastic gains when the bull market returns. What you want to do is find profitable companies where those profits are not […]

In this type of market, it’s easy for investors to give in to their fears and sell at the worst possible time. A review of the history of bear markets makes it easier to keep to your strategy […]
It is official: we are in a bear market. What should we do now? Sell stocks? Assume the fetal position and hide under the kitchen table with a death grip on a bottle of cheap tequila? Get a medical cannabis card to ease the pain of losing money? Buy gold and silver? Hide all our […]
Retail investors are resilient. While institutions have de-risked their portfolios… Retail investors have kept record amounts of money in equities despite the markets wavering. There’s one stock I’m watching… it’s held up fairly well during this beatdown. While other stocks in the sector have dropped 90%… it’s only down 20% or so. But, I believe, […]
From the lows… The Nasdaq alone has rallied about 24% in just 2 months. Does that mean we’re out of the woods? I recorded a 3-minute FREE video (I do this every week) revealing what I see happening in the market. And, even better, I compare this rally to the 2000’s tech bubble and the […]
