The Nasdaq’s drop today ranks as the sixth-worst in six years. QQQ got slammed 4.8% on just one hotter-than-expected jobs report, bringing rate-hike expectations back into the picture, and chip stocks took a hit too. Put simply, the market isn’t afraid of a strong economy—it’s afraid the economy is so strong that the Fed won’t dare ease up. My simple, amateur approach is this: when prices drop hard, it’s actually a chance to slowly pick up bargains. Just don’t chase highs. I’ll review things and check the numbers over the weekend.

Indeed, the scary part isn’t being good—it’s being so good you don’t dare let up.

Gradually accumulating at bargain prices requires ammunition; position management matters more than stock selection.

The Fed’s monetary-policy yo-yo has the market running in circles.

Have a great weekend. The account numbers don't look good, but don't let that shake your mindset.

Those three words, “don’t chase highs”—those who followed them got rich long ago.

In this day and age, even having an economy that's too good is a crime.

This jobs report will probably keep Powell up again.

Rate hike expectations are like ghosts, popping up whenever the data is good.

Sixth from the bottom—so what years were the top five, 2018? 2020?

The Nasdaq has seen five worse days in the past six years; history doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes.
