Given my investing background at Morgan Stanley people assume I do a lot of single stocks, F&O etc Can't be farther from truth. I run my own asset allocation strategy, 100% in index MFs via @Kuvera_In , re-balance 1-2 / year, and don't track markets incessantly!

Big overnight moves in US markets #NASDAQ100 #SPX500 A historical context on what could lie ahead for global markets. 1/n Since 1985, this is the 67th instance that Nasdaq100 fell -5% or more in a single day. So a -5% or worse move is rare.

So #oilprice is crashing because of a "supply-side" price war. How is that anything but good news for the global economy? In a price war, the buyer wins. Buyers will have surplus cash to be deployed elsewhere. It is akin to a giant stimulus. #counterpoint

#smallcap is a great way to make money but you need to manage one thing. Behavioural gap. Most of small cap buying happens in the marked areas post out performance. And based on what we saw in 2018, most of it does not survive the drawdown afterwards.

This is the right analysis. Switch is beneficial from year 1. @Kuvera_In we recommend investors to switch to direct asap and in one shot for this reason. Also a reminder why fin analysis is hard. It’s the simple stuff - tax, cost, churn etc - that usually trips people up.
