Very Low Volume in the Standard and Poors

Historically, it’s been quoted as “In May, Go Away.”  This has been said probably for a couple of different reasons.  The first is during the summer months, there will be less volume in the stock market.   Less volume, means the stock market will be a little more volatile.

More volatility equates to a higher amount of risk.  With so much going on, and Greece basically bankrupt… what will happen next?  I anticipate a short rally if and when the S&P gets back up above it’s 200 day moving average.  This could happen in the next few weeks.  This rally will probably be from all the shorts covering their positions.

I don’t believe the rally will last very long either and we’ll probably end up back down lower than we are now.   Again, I do not suggest you all go out and make trades based on what you read here or because Cramer said so.  You should do your own due diligence before making any investment trades.

Just be careful in other words is what I’m trying to get at.  Until the US businesses are able to start getting loans to run their businesses, I don’t believe the job numbers will increase.  This simply means unemployment will remain high and unchanged.  Without growth, I believe we may be heading for a double bottom by the end of this year.

Biggest Stock Market Drop Stats

What goes up must come down.  Am I right on this?  CNBC.com has the stats on the biggest one day drops in the stock market.

I personally believe you should not have all your eggs in the stock market.  After seeing the stats below you will see why I suggest putting some of your retirement in fixed income products that can provide a lifetime income stream.    We’ll discuss that at another time, but here’s the numbers.

I highlighted the biggest one day drop in history for you.  In 1987, investors would have lost over 20% of their retirement in just one day.  I feel sorry for those retirees or those planning to retire that year.  Will you retire in a bull market or a bear market?  Will there be another single day crash???  You bet!

That’s the importance of having fixed income products as a part of your total retirement plan.
