Click to read - Wall Street sells off after Fed sticks with stimulus cuts - U.S. stocks dropped more than 1 percent on Wednesday, hitting session lows after the Federal Reserve stuck with its plan to scale back stimulus even in the midst of emerging market turmoil. With the day's decline, the S&P 500 is down 4 percent for the month - its worst monthly loss since May 2012. Some investors have been bracing for a correction, given the S&P 500's gain of 30 percent last year.

Click to read - Analysis: Obama's agenda more bite-sized than bold - The president's State of the Union address Tuesday was an amalgam of modest proposals designed to chip away at some of the same problems he's been working on all along: persistent unemployment, middle-class insecurity, lagging schools and more. "Let's make this a year of action," Obama exhorted members of Congress arrayed before him. "That's what most Americans want — for all of us in this chamber to focus on their lives, their hopes, their aspirations.

"We are at beginning of an exciting time, not just for investors but for all of society."

Click to read - Calculating Risk and Reward - The calculation of risk/reward is very easy. You simply divide your net profit (the reward) by the price of your maximum risk. Using the XYZ example above, if your stock went up to $29 per share, you would make $4 for each of your 20 shares for a total of $80. You paid $500 for it, so you would divide 80 by 500 which gives you 0.16. That means that your risk/reward, for this idea, is 0.16:1. Most professional investors won't give the idea a second look at such a low risk/reward ratio, so this is a terrible idea. Or is it?

Click to read - S&P 500 drops for a third day; Apple down after the bell - U.S. stocks extended recent losses on Monday, with the S&P 500 falling for a third straight session as concern grew about the Federal Reserve's plans for withdrawing stimulus. The losses, which picked up late in the session after the S&P 500 briefly traded in positive territory, followed a steep selloff late last week tied to emerging market concerns. The slide gave the S&P 500 its worst weekly percentage loss since June 2012.

Click to read - A Study On The Wealth Effect And The Economy - The “wealth effect” refers to the premise that consumers tend to spend more when there is a bull market in widely-held assets like real estate or stocks, because rising asset prices make them feel wealthy. The notion that the wealth effect spurs personal consumption makes sense intuitively. After all, wouldn’t you be more inclined to buy that big-screen TV or SUV if your house or stock portfolio had appreciated nicely and you were sitting on huge gains?

Click to read - Analysis: Emerging market pain not about to faze U.S.-focused Fed - Though the central bank's 16-month-old bond-buying program is meant to boost the U.S. economy, in the past it has lifted currencies and stocks in emerging markets that have benefited from a rush of international investment and the resulting lower interest rates. Now that the Fed intends to wind down the unprecedented policy accommodation by later this year, those markets - especially in countries with large current account deficits - have dropped hard, prompting policy responses late last week from central banks around the world.

Click to read - FOMC, Obama’s State of Union, Apple: Week Ahead Jan. 27-Feb. 1 - The Federal Open Market Committee is likely to further trim bond purchases as it meets for the last time before Janet Yellen takes over as head of the U.S. central bank from Ben S. Bernanke. President Barack Obama delivers his fifth State of the Union address and probably will call for increasing the minimum wage and boosting spending on projects to create jobs. U.S. consumer confidence, home prices and durable goods orders probably rose. In Japan, December’s trade data are forecast to show an 18th straight monthly deficit. Apple Inc. (AAPL), Ford Motor Co. (F), Pfizer Inc. (PFE), Nintendo Co. (7974), Siemens AG and Tokyo Electric Power Co. (9501) will report earnings.

Click to read - Diversification Beyond Stocks - Diversifying not just among different stocks, but among different assets, is how an investor can truly mitigate risk. Even with a well-diversified stock portfolio, an individual is still exposed to market risk (or systematic risk as finance professors like to call it), which cannot be diversified away by adding additional stocks.
