Weekly Roundup: Nvidia Falls, Recession, Bad September, 31 Years of 10%

This week’s news roundup covers several key topics:

  • Nvidia’s Stock Decline: Despite being up 120% year-to-date, Nvidia’s stock has fallen sharply recently. Factors include a DOJ subpoena for antitrust investigation and market expectations exceeding even phenomenal quarterly results.
  • September’s Poor Stock Performance: Historically, September has been the worst month for stocks. This trend is continuing in 2024, with many equity indexes down 2-3% early in the month.
  • 31 Years of S&P 500 Gains: Analysis shows consistent long-term gains in the S&P 500 since 1993, with an average annual return of 10% over 31 years. This data supports the case for long-term investment in broad market index funds.
  • Yield Curve and Recession Predictions: The yield curve, a traditional recession predictor, is returning to normal after a period of inversion. Some analysts suggest this normalization might actually signal an impending recession, contrary to historical patterns.
