☆ Getting the Sharp End of the Investing Stick
  + stars: | 2023-04-28 | by ( Jason Zweig | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Imagine an investment that can deliver high returns with barely any risk, almost completely independent of the stock market. Good luck finding that. But you can easily find funds that make such grandiose claims. They’re common in one of the hottest areas in markets today, private investments.

☆ Want to Beat the Stock Market? Avoid the Cost of ‘Being Human’
  + stars: | 2023-04-14 | by ( Jason Zweig | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Investing is one of the few areas of life in which amateurs can—and should—outperform professionals. The individual investors who have spent the past few years trying to beat the pros at their own game by chasing hot stocks have it all wrong. Instead, you should play a different game entirely.
☆ Digging Into a $344 Billion Investing Mystery
  + stars: | 2023-04-07 | by ( Jason Zweig | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
For the cost of notarizing a single document—probably $10 or less—you can declare yourself one of the biggest financiers in history. That’s about all it takes to file private investment offerings at the Securities and Exchange Commission under what’s called Regulation D. Judging by Form D filings purportedly made by a man named Stephon Patton, the SEC won’t stop you.

☆ Yale Invests This Way. Should You?
  + stars: | 2023-03-11 | by ( Jason Zweig | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
When stocks and bonds and real estate all stink, maybe it’s time to try something different. You probably lost at least 15% on your stocks, and nearly as much on your bonds, last year. Publicly traded real estate fell nearly 25%. So far this year, bonds are flat, and stocks and real estate are barely in the black.
☆ Welcome to the 5% World, Where Yield Chases You
  + stars: | 2023-02-25 | by ( Jason Zweig | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Bonds are getting beaten down again. That means they can do a better job of protecting the rest of your portfolio from getting beaten up. Investors have resumed worrying the Federal Reserve will have to crank up interest rates higher and longer to stifle inflation, after dismissing such fears a few short weeks ago. So long-term Treasury securities have lost about 5% so far this month, and the bond market as a whole is off about 3%.

☆ Why Investors Are Piling Into Funds That Promise Not to Beat the Stock Market
  + stars: | 2023-02-11 | by ( Jason Zweig | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Finally, you can earn income of 4% or more on cash and bonds. What if you could earn monthly dividends on stocks at an annual rate of at least 11%? That’s the pitch for exchange-traded funds that are generating eye-popping yields by selling options contracts. These ETFs, known as covered-call or option-income funds, also shielded investors from some of the pounding that stocks took last year.

☆ ‘Green’ Funds Cost Three Times More Than You Think
  + stars: | 2023-02-03 | by ( Jason Zweig | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
You might not be able to do well by doing good, but you will certainly pay more to feel good. Wall Street’s latest bandwagon—or juggernaut—is ESG investing, which seeks to make businesses and the world [E]nvironmentally cleaner, [S]ocially fairer and [G]overned better.
☆ When the Stock Market and Jay Powell Are Frenemies
  + stars: | 2023-01-20 | by ( Jason Zweig | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Maybe bad news isn’t good news anymore. For the first couple of weeks of 2023, financial markets were partying as if New Year’s Eve had never ended. Traders took every message from the Federal Reserve that it would keep raising interest rates until inflation was snuffed out as another signal that the worst was over.
☆ An Iowa Farmer Tried to Dodge Stock-Market Turmoil. It Cost Him $900,000.
  + stars: | 2023-01-13 | by ( Jason Zweig | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Over the past two years, bonds have lost almost 15% and stocks have barely gained 5%, whipsawing investors along the way. That’s what markets do. As a result, financial firms are pile-driving their clients into assets that have no market. Over the past two years, investors bought an astonishing $878.9 billion in so-called Regulation D private offerings of debt and equity that don’t trade, according to SLCG Economic Consulting, a research firm in McLean, Va.
☆ Your Investing Strategy Just Failed. It’s Time to Double Down.
  + stars: | 2023-01-06 | by ( Jason Zweig | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Many investors have been despairing that the 60/40 portfolio, that venerable mix of 60% stocks and 40% bonds, is dead. Instead, they should be celebrating its resurrection. A so-called balanced portfolio is better-positioned to provide decent returns at moderate risk than it’s been in at least 15 years.
☆ You Bought a Hot Fund. Now It’s on Ice.
  + stars: | 2022-12-09 | by ( Jason Zweig | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Anyone who invested in Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, a private fund, has earned towering returns since it launched in early 2017. It has been one of the hottest of all so-called alternative investments, those assets relentlessly flogged by Wall Street as counterweights to stocks and bonds. It’s also a reminder that investors accustomed to conventional investments can be taken by surprise when they venture into the unconventional.
☆ I-Bonds Aren’t the Only Way to Fight Inflation
  + stars: | 2022-12-02 | by ( Jason Zweig | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
If you’ve been thinking that this year’s miserable returns on stocks and bonds have put a safe retirement out of reach, think again. Thanks to the recent rout in bond prices, Treasury inflation-protected securities, or TIPS, have turned into a cheap form of insurance for the first time in more than a decade. Buying and holding them in your retirement portfolio can help assure you of a lifelong stream of income that won’t be devoured by the rising cost of living.
☆ You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know About Your Financial Adviser
  + stars: | 2022-11-04 | by ( Jason Zweig | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Stocks and bonds crumbled again this week, and inflation seems unstoppable. Maybe it’s time to hire a financial adviser. After all, for years people like me have been telling you that advisers have to disclose much more about themselves than stockbrokers do, so you can make better-informed decisions about their services and integrity.
☆ What to Do When You Know What Stocks Will Do Next
  + stars: | 2022-10-28 | by ( Jason Zweig | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Imagine you could know tomorrow’s news today. Would that make you a better investor? On Oct. 13, the Labor Department announced the consumer-price index rose 8.2% in September from the same month a year earlier, dashing hopes that inflation would drop.
☆ Bob Pisani: How my obsession with a Black Sabbath poster showed how irrational we can be when investing
  + stars: | 2022-10-20 | by ( Bob Pisani | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +8 min
If you think knowing something about behavioral economics prevents you from doing stupid things, let me tell you about the Black Sabbath poster I bought. How I almost lost my mind bidding on a stupid Black Sabbath poster One day I was monitoring an online auction of rock posters. A 1976 Black Sabbath poster came up for sale. It's not like Black Sabbath has an intense cult of collectors, like Zeppelin or the Velvet Underground. With that damn Black Sabbath poster, I violated all the rules.
☆ How to Make Peace With Your Stock Market Losses
  + stars: | 2022-10-10 | by ( Jason Zweig | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Have you read your account statements for the just-finished third quarter? If you’re anything like me, your answer is no. You probably already know stocks are down 20% and bonds 14% for the year to date.
☆ The Intelligent Investor
  + stars: | 2022-09-28 | by ( Jason Zweig | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The conventional wisdom says now’s the time to invest in companies that have pricing power. But the last time the U.S. hit a prolonged period of stagflation, those stocks weren’t the real stars.
