ColumnsWhy did the market rise on Powell's inflation comments?
What's new
US stock indexes gained ground on Tuesday with Nasdaq leading the advance as investors were relieved that Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's testimony to Congress did not include any major surprises.
Why the reaction?
The market has been trying to digest the interest rate hikes for weeks. Investors are already prepared for the worst. When there was no surprise news, the market tended to recoup some losses immediately.

$NVIDIA(NVDA.US$ any ideas why Nasdaq and Bitcoin dropped today? It seems Nasdaq and Dow have just been Sea-sawing for sometime and tomorrow is a nasdaq day again.

$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD.US$ I am not bearish on AMD but it seems like nasdaq will give up at least 800 points before it starts going back up .. I am keeping powder ready for loading up on calls in case this falls to $120-$125 range.. futures are solid red .. airlines and hotels are getting cancellation requests in record numbers.. ppl are postponing their last minute vacation.. gonna go on puts on airlines stocks tomorrow.. let’s see how it plays out.. in past market had turned solid green after futures being solid red (more than -400) .. but it’s very highly unlikely tomorrow IMO .. and if it goes up I think it will be a bull trap like last Wednesday…

Go with the Flow
Since interest rate hikes are inevitable, I would adapt to it by buying bank stocks as they will generally benefit from the rate increase. I am buying $JPMorgan(JPM.US$ in anticipation that they will announce spectacular results this week on 14 Jan, sell after the earnings release, and switch to $Goldman Sachs(GS.US$ in anticipation of better than expected results on 18 Jan. Hope these two short term trades will turn out as planned and that there will not be any nasty surprise...

NASDAQ drop in first week of 2022!
Welcome back Mooers. 
In today post, we will discuss if we should leave or stay after NASDAQ dropped 4.5% on the first week of 2022.
After the FED signal to raise interest rates sooner in their December 2021 meeting to fight against inflation, NASDAQ post its biggest weekly drop since February 2021.
One of the reasons for the drop is because the cost of borrowing will become more expensive as interest rates goes up.
Therefore, one of the decision fa...

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF(SPY.US$$S&P 500 Index(.SPX.US$$NASDAQ(NASDAQ.US$ The end of an era could very well be upon us. Black swan? 20% I’d like to see . 40% even better. Waiting on equities to plunge shortly after. But… firearms and ammunition will continue to hedge against inflation as a physical asset. I still love my decision months ago, but damn I miss range time as much as I used to go.

$Apple(AAPL.US$ because this is currently following at only half the percentage drop rate of the Nasdaq, this will be punished much much harder and quicker when it does decide to cool off. currently nasdaq down .24 this is down only .10. it will fill that difference in intraday in my opinion

HopeAlways : The Fed minutes appeared to trigger the most recent sell-off. Yet little that the Fed had mentioned should have come as a big surprise to investors given prior press conferences and releases. It appears that the pace of tapering and asset purchases and potentially raising rates as the main concern of investors. Not all sectors reacted negatively to the news with the same extent. Rather, it was mainly the sectors that saw the most share price gains that were most adversely impacted. Technology stocks took the brunt of the damage, with high growth ones suffering from significant declines. Perhaps, the lack of any shocking news seemed to show that investors were merely taking the opportunity to sell stocks that had witnessed the largest gains. Investors need to understand that market volatility is here to stay. The only certainty is that the market will likely remain choppy as investors attempt to digest the information they are getting. Nevertheless, that should not stop stocks from solid long term performance. What matters most is how investors need to feel confident about the stocks they own and be able to stomach any volatility with whatever news that come along the way.
Jeet Kune Do HopeAlways: Good writing on the Feds
102089245 HopeAlways: There is even greater need to stay calm and not panic sell the good ones even if share prices are dropping.
garay HopeAlways: Agree with you. The Fed has a huge impact on the movement of the market and news form the Fed usually causes volatility. Those stocks which took the hardest hit are probably those who are already overvalued and overbought. The news could have spooked these investors to quickly take profit or to stop loss. For investors who have done their fundamental analysis should not be worried for short term volatility and could DCA to buy at a discount.
101767718 HopeAlways: The market may have overeacted but good stocks will still be able to gain more in the long run.
