It seems like the Biotech sector has become the can’t miss sector of 2015, everything I read and hear is bullish, and probably rightfully so.  Many of the big cap biotechs make a ton of money and have fantastic pipelines. However, stocks/sectors go up AND down not up OR down, and it seems to me that many believe that biotech is now a one way street, up.

Financial Advisers: Show Us Your Numbers was an article written by Jason Zweig a couple of months ago that did not get much press, its mind boggling actually,  especially now when everyone with a blog is consider a pro and guru.  Here is a short excerpt from the piece.“If you want to know the track record of a mutual fund or exchange-traded fund, you can look it up in a matter of seconds online.  But what about the track record of a financial adviser who is offering to pick investments for you?  “I have to think investors would want to know that, [...]

–These are the facts about the current state of the market.  These are not opinions nor I’m I trying to imply what the next move is, the information below should give you an idea of what to maybe expect.–The SP500 is down 4.96% from its all time high which it reached on 12/5/2014, the average correction since 2009 is 6.7% lasting on average 16.9 days.  The average correction this year is 5.3% lasting 16 days, we are at 4.96%.–The VIX is now higher than the future months, since 2010 the returns after this happening have been mostly positive and promising.
