Happy 68th Birthday to the S&P 500! 🎉📈
Yesterday marked a significant milestone in financial history On March 4, 1957, Standard & Poor’s officially launched the S&P 500 Index, replacing its previous 90-stock index. For nearly seven decades, the S&P 500 has been a benchmark for the U.S. equity market, evolving alongside the economy and shaping investment strategies worldwide. From its inception to becoming a cornerstone of global finance, the index has stood the test of time, reflecting innovation, resilience, and market dynamics. Here’s to 68 years of market history—and many more to come! 🥂📊

"Be Greedy When Others Are Fearful"
One of Warren Buffett’s most famous quotes is to “be greedy when others are fearful.” Unfortunately, many anxious investors can’t stomach losses in the stock market, causing them to go to “all cash” at exactly the wrong times. Take large declines, for example. Since WW2, the S&P 500 has fallen more than 15% in nine different quarters. Following every single instance, the index was higher a year later with an average one-year gain of 25.1%. Similarly, the S&P 500 has had two-quarter drops of 20%+ just eight times, and over the next year, the index was up by at least 17% with gains every single time. source : bespoke
