In this week’s podcast Tom and Brendan continue their conversation about Exchange Traded Funds. They discuss the ability to get specific with Exchange Traded Funds as far as what you own and how you invest your money. Knowing which sector to invest in is also an important, as well as knowing what is in your […]

Exchange Traded Funds, or ETF’s, are a basket of investments, typically stocks, that are traded on a stock exchange. Not all investments are traded on an exchange though, and that is what sets Exchange Traded Funds apart from other funds like mutual funds. Exchange Traded Funds can cater to a special set of needs, and […]

Standard & Poor’s S&P 500 Index is one of the traditional yardsticks used to measure performance in the stock market.  But yet today, there are two very different S&P 500 Indices. The traditional S&P 500 Index is a “cap-weighted” index: the 50 largest companies in the index (measured by their market/float capitalization) are responsible for […]

This is the Podcast from September 19, 2012.  In this podcast, Brendan questions Tom Mullooly about Quantitative Easing, QE3 and the role of the Federal Reserve in today’s marketplace. The Federal Reserve announced massive action (a “game-changer” as Tom mentions) last week. The easing program will be open-ended, or as some market commentators dubbed it, “Quantitative […]

With the stock market at overbought levels, finding the right sector to put money to work becomes more important than ever. With this in mind, we look at what happened with homebuilders, and how that sector moved from an average stock market performer, to an over achieving sector. We noticed that the bullish percent index […]

For a financial advisor in Monmouth County, the possible rise of financial companies is extremely significant. In this podcast, we take a look at how (and why) financial companies may be rising from the dead. To a financial consultant, this is shocking because the stocks in the financial sector have been comatose for several years! […]

There are so many differences between investment advisors and brokers that we made a SECOND podcast! For 401(k) or 403b annuity advice, a fee only investment advisor, such as myself, could be very helpful. Some of the topics we discuss in this second portion of the podcast include: How does Mullooly Asset Management manage money […]

There are big differences between investment advisors and brokers in New Jersey (or stockbrokers, financial consultants, financial advisors, etc) and all around the United States. One group (stockbrokers and financial consultants) work for (are employed by) brokerage firms, banks and insurance companies. For 401(k) advice, look towards an investment advisor for help. Now, investment advisors […]

Just because a particular segment of the market is doing well, we should not just act blindly. You should always look to improve your 401(k) account, or other retirement accounts. If (for example) large cap funds happen to be doing well, it is not enough to simply buy ANY large cap mutual fund for your […]

Exchange Traded Funds (ETF’s) can be the answer to: How do you buy expensive stocks, like Apple Computer? It is tough to have a balanced portfolio when one stock represents a large portion of the investment account. We have found there are plenty of exchange-traded funds where a large portion of the portfolio is invested […]

Facebook IPO News February 2012 Last week, in February 2012, Facebook filed for their initial public offering of stock. In this podcast, we discuss some of the basics of all IPO’s (Initial Public Offerings), along with other stock market comments, and some of the merits of Facebook which are known at this point in time […]

Relative Strength is possibly the single best approach to keep tabs on winners and losers in the stock market. How do you know if your investment is merely taking a breather or pulling back — or how do you know if this is the start of a freefall off a cliff? Relative Strength, along with […]

January 2012: the US stock market is off to a good start. It’s hard to predict what the rest of the year will bring, but indicators like the Santa Claus rally and the January Effect are working. There is no fundamental basis that the “January Effect” or “Santa Claus Rally” will bring success in 2012. […]

Two old sayings can harm your investment returns and your 401k at work: “January sets the tone for the entire year” and “the first five trading days set the tone” for the whole year do not always work. Do not let these sayings harm YOUR 401(k) plan. We are off to a good start so […]

Podcast January 9, 2012 Even though, from a financial advisor’s point of view, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index was essentially flat (up less than one percent) in 2011, we witnessed the most volatility in recent memory. However, the volatility might NOT be coming from the daily news that so many feel are driving the […]
