Is there really a need to buy stocks anymore?
I thought about this question as I sat here watching my basket of stocks bounce up and down in the markets. In my portfolio and watchlist of stocks is the usual companies. I have some large caps, mid caps and small caps. And recently, I added some really crazy ETFs that are leveraged up the wazoo.
Some of my stocks didn't blink an eye while S&P futures gapped up and moved strong for the day. I looked at the ETFs and noticed they were up very nicely. What the heck? Why did my money not grow today better than the sector ETF and the overall market?
