| | 📈 U.S. Stock Market Performs Well in Q1 | Easter Sunday was the last day of March. So the S&P 500 closed for the final time in Q1 on March 29. | The S&P 500 is up 10.8% year to date. That’s close to the historical average annual gain, and it’s only been three months. | With the Fed potentially cutting interest rates at some point in 2024, there’s optimism that the market will continue to perform. | Let’s take a look at some quick figures from Q1: | 72.5% of the S&P 500 stocks went up in Q1. NVIDIA led all S&P 500 stocks by gaining 82% -- 24% better than the next-closest company (Constellation Energy). Other notable gains included Meta (+40%) and Disney (+34%). At -28%, Tesla performed worst of any stock in the S&P 500. Other losers included Boeing (-26%) and Apple (-10%). | Clark typically advocates for long-term investing. That means valuing time in the market over timing the market. It’s easier for some people, though, to stay invested when the market is performing well. | Clark wants you to view investing for retirement as a slow, steady process that includes a diversified portfolio with low fees. He’d love for you to use tax-advantaged retirement accounts such as a 401(k) or IRA as well. | | 📊 Stat of the Day | | | 💰️ Deal Alert: Today’s Top Deals | | | | | 🎙️ Podcast | | Full Show: America's Saving Struggle and How Much Exercise Do You Need? |
