Investing Hero or Zero … On Market Timing or NOT!
By Staff Reporters
Here at the ME-P, we believe we have some of the most intelligent and savvy readers in the blog-o-sphere. And – why not?
Most are physicians, nurses and medical specialist of all stripes. Others are CPAs, financial advisors and wealth managers. And, some are medical management and HIT consultants with PhDs and MBAs, etc. More than a few more even have dual and triple degrees and professional designations, like www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.com
The Question
Accordingly, our friends over at The Finance Buff recently asked:
Q: Do you remember those days last summer when the Dow went down 400 points one day and then it went up 400 points the next day, before it went down another 400 points the following day?
Going Granular
Well – if you do – what did you, or your clients do about it? Did you invest more, stay put, bail out or something else? Go granular on us and your fellow ME-P readers, subscribers and lurkers.
Assessment
Please tell us who you are, what you did during the “flash-crash” a few years ago, or last summer’s mini-meltdown, and how it turned out in hindsight?

Did you know that trading fees have fallen nearly 90% in recent decades?
Yep, research by Charles M. Jones of Columbia University and Kenneth R. French of Dartmouth College apparently shows that the cost of investing has fallen by roughly 90% in the past few decades.
Agree or not? And, is this a good thing?

Stay the Course
Recently, I decided to do a little research for http://www.HealthcareFinancials.com and came up with some interesting findings for our ME-P physician-investors.
For example, on February 9th, 2012, the DJIA closed at 12,922 almost surpassing the 12,638 on May 30th, 2008. These numbers are still below the high for the DJIA of 13,930 on October 31st, 2007, and significantly up from the 7,063 close on February 27th, 2009.
Any thoughts?

St. Patrick’s Day Week
The anticipation that the recovery is gaining strength was bolstered by encouraging retail sales data this week.
Although warmer-than-usual weather across much of the nation may have triggered some earlier-than-usual spring spending, investors took heart that a stronger recovery may be finally blooming.

Recovery continues to putter along
Economic activity continued at a modest pace, as data revealed growth was both diverse and consistent nationwide.
For the week ended April 13, the S&P 500 Index fell 2% to 1370.27 (for a year-to-date total return—including price change plus dividends—of about 9.63%). The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note fell 5 basis points to 2.02% (for a year-to-date increase of 13 basis points).

Outliers
Black Swans, you may recall, are Nassim Taleb’s famous metaphor for extreme, unforeseeable events that can have nasty implications for financial portfolios and much else.
Think the “flash-crash” of 2008-09.
