| Last month saw some interesting statistics concerning the US stock market. Unless you have been living in a cave in recent years, you will be aware that the major US indices have continually pushed to fresh all-time highs. The latest leg higher within that multiyear trend started after the US election last year – markets confounded many by rising on the shock Donald Trump win. Since election day, the broader US index, the S&P 500, is up by around 20%.
It can be psychologically very difficult for investors (and traders) to buy into strength in a rising market. Many will sit on the side-lines waiting for a pullback – looking for that strength to run out of steam, and the price to dip back in the hope of getting their chosen shares a little bit cheaper. This can be comforting – looking to buy a bargain – but can often leave many people watching and kicking themselves for missing out if a market really takes off, always regretting not just buying in the first places. |
