The Russell 2000, considered by some to be a bellweather for the economy, is showing the least amount of strength among the major stock market indexes right now. The index, designed to track the movement of small capitalization stocks has not been keeping up with the S&P 500 or the NASDAQ NDAQ -100. The effects of the Fed’s moves to higher interest rates is having a greater impact on this group of stocks and that hurts the financial sector — the group amounts to 16% of the total number within the Russell 2000.

Delta Air Lines stock (NYSE: DAL) is up 4% in a month, aligning with the 5% rise for the broader S&P500 index. Despite its recent surge, DAL stock looks undervalued, in our view. Last week, the company reported its Q1 2023 results, with revenue of $11.8 billion, up 45% y-o-y and falling below the consensus estimate of $12.0 billion.

The company saw its adjusted operating margin improve to 4.6% from -9.7% in the prior-year quarter. Higher revenues and margin…
What does retirement look like to you? Perhaps you’ve been thinking about converting part of your Traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA) funds to a Roth IRA.

Alright, you would have to pay taxes on what you convert and…
Retirement planning is all about the numbers. Yet, there is one number most of us take for granted or don’t even consider. We are told that retirement is all about dollars and cents. How much money do we have to ensure our financial security? One financial services firm even had an advertising campaign where people asked, “What’s my number?” The ad portrayed people walking down the street with images of large digit amounts of money over their heads. Other numbers become part of our retirement life as well. Blood pressure, good and bad cholesterol, body mass index, and other measures…
