How the Stock Market Gives Gains

  • By Bill Conerly

This week the market (as measured by the S&P 500) rose 10 percent.  Ten percent is a decent gain for an entire year.  (Yes, I know that we have some losses to make up, but that's not the point).  The lesson from Mr. Market is that you get gains when you least expect them.  If your long-term asset allocation guidelines call for owning  a certain percentage of your wealth in stock, then stick with the plan.  It really paid off this past week.

  1. Ryan for Supervalue Inc. Stock Market
    March 31, 2009

    For the 28 weeks ended 10 September 2005, SUPERVALU Inc.‘s revenues rose 1% to $10.53B. Net income fell 45% to $125M. Revenues reflect an increase in turnover from Retail Food and Supply Chain Services segments. Net income was offset by the absence of a $109.2M gain on sale of WinCo Foods, Inc. and an increase in selling & administrative expenses. The Company is engaged in the business of selling food and non food products.

  • The Labor Market Is Tight Despite High Unemployment February 19, 2021
    Finding workers is hard despite the high unemployment rate, because many jobless folks don't match the skills needed, don't want to shift occupations or prefer to collect unemployment. Business focus on retention should be top priority.

As you know, it can be difficult to find economists who provide good substantive information who are so entertaining and engaging. I received many enthusiastic comments from members and others in attendance. I was very pleased with Dr. Conerly and have recommended him to NCSTAE, our national organization.
Molly Steckel, Idaho Telecom Alliance
On multiple occasions we have engaged Dr. Conerly to facilitate, and more importantly, stimulate strategic planning sessions. He artfully brings the complexity of economic consequences to light, and is also is a veteran voice of objectivity. And his ability to inject humor keeps the energy and teamwork a priority!
Greg Newton, CFO, Cascade Bancorp
You are a master at your craft and a favorite of our audience.

Our audience of local business and community leaders not only valued the economic data you provided, but they really appreciated that you made it applicable to their businesses, their personal lives and moreover – that you presented it in a clear and entertaining manner.
Scott Boyer, Mountain Pacific Bank
Thank you for a wonderful presentation. Everyone who heard your presentation was impressed with your analysis, and strong command of facts and theory. More importantly, your ability to weave together substance with humor, in a very dynamic way, meant our attendees learned and retained more information than we would have typically expected. You made economics fun and you left our members with powerful insights on trends and issues to consider as they prepare for the future.
