Distance Yourself From the Fed

BONDS behave in mysterious ways. Hence you might be curious why, after the Federal Reserve cut its key interest rate for the second time in as many months, Treasury yields did not fall but instead took off. Even the short-term T-note yields surged in the wake of the October 29 rate announcement. In two days, bond funds lost substantial net asset value; iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond coughed up 1.5%, equivalent to a 750-point drop in the Dow Jones industrial average.

My Top 10 Picks for 2026

FOR more than 30 years, I have offered an annual list of 10 stocks with the potential to beat the market in the 12 months ahead. My selections for 2024 notched the highest return ever, but my choices for 2025 flamed out. They scored an average of a mere 5.9%, compared with 21.5% for the benchmark S&P 500 index. Six out of 10 stocks fell, four by more than 20% each. What hurt me most? Not having any of the mega-capitalization tech stocks that provided the lift for the S&P 500. I correct the oversight this time around.

A CONTRARIAN APPROACH PAYS OFF

THE stock market draws a lot of investor attention, but bonds deserve some love, too. Over the 12 months ending October 31, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond index climbed 6.2%. On a calendar-year basis, the index is on track to post its best return since 2020, thanks in part to relatively high starting yields and solid returns from corporate and securitized debt, particularly mortgage-backed bonds.
