Your Worst Enemy In a Bear Market Is Yourself
Bear markets are inevitable but too often we are our own worst enemy when we must navigate one. In a upward trending bull market that is often a wise choice but when we are faced with corrective action like we have experienced for that last 2 ½ months it is recipe for pain. When we don't know what we are going to do then we react emotionally and that leads to poor decisions.

A few reasons California companies are making an exit for Texas
One of the things that struck me was that the study’s author – for the first time in his career – urged California businesses to relocate out of state. “Of all of the research reports that I’ve issued over the years, this is the first time I’m openly recommending that companies relocate out of California," wrote Joseph Vranich, president of Pennsylvania-based Spectrum Location Solutions LLC. “Admittedly, that is a rather brazen statement for a business-analysis document, but it is well justified.

Why You Should Sell Your Home in 2019
And if your house is at the higher end of the price range in your market, you should expect less buyer interest than before. Ron notes the combination of rising mortgage rates and home prices exceeding buyers' budgets are what has caused the slowing of homebuyer activity in recent months. But with available housing inventory remaining low, even with rising interest rates, buyers who are ready to make a purchase will still shop for homes.

Workers are 'ghosting' employers in booming US labor market: Report
With the U.S. unemployment at its lowest level in decades, a growing portion of the workforce is opting to “ghost” their employers and leave their jobs without a word. “A number of contacts said that they had been ‘ghosted,’ a situation in which a worker stops coming to work without notice and then is impossible to contact,” the Federal Reserve of Chicago said in the December edition of the Beige Book, which tracks U.S. employment. The unemployment has held at 3.7 percent since September, marking the lowest level in roughly five decades.

Here’s what smart rich people really do with their nest egg
Most people think they’re above average in intelligence, relationship status and professional achievement. Social scientists call this “illusory superiority.” My business partner Scott Puritz, has found the one area where even above-average people, objectively smart, rich, successful professionals, seem to wave the white flag and admit to not understanding — money and investing. “One of the most shocking things is the low-level financial literacy throughout our culture,” Puritz told the Washington Post.

If Jason Daw is right, some of the world’s biggest investors are setting themselves up for a major disappointment. The Singapore-based strategist at Societe Generale, one of the few to anticipate the slump in emerging markets beginning in January, sees no imminent turnaround for the asset class. He said the modest rally in currencies since September, led by Turkey’s lira, Brazil’s real and South Africa’s rand, is temporary and that slower global growth and additional tightening by the Federal Reserve will continue to weaken developing-nation currencies.

What we know so far about the $1B campus Apple is planning at Robinson Ranch
Like an Apple Inc. commercial, hundreds of employees crammed stairwells and against railings at the technology company’s North Austin office on Thursday to hear first-hand the news the company announced in the middle of the night. Austin is already home to the largest Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) office outside Cupertino, Calif. This expansion will significantly increase the importance of the Texas capital to the global operations of the second most-valuable company in the world, with a market capitalization of $809.6 billion on Thursday afternoon. Site preparation will begin in 2019 on the new site, about a mile away from Apple existing campus at 5501 W. Parmer Lane, said Kristina Raspe, Apple's vice president of real estate.

Here’s your permission slip to become a millionaire
Back in 1960, people retired around age 65(1) and had a life expectancy of 80,(2) so they only had to fund their retirement for about fifteen years. According to a recent Fidelity study, a 65-year-old couple retiring in 2018 would need $280,000 to cover their medical expenses during their retirement years.(6) Now, that amount doesn’t include long-term care, like living in a nursing home or home health care. Let me be crystal clear: Health care in retirement is expensive! That’s another reason you may need to hit the million-dollar mark.

Court tosses permit for pipeline to cross Appalachian Trail
A permit for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline to cross two national forests, including parts of the Appalachian Trail, was thrown out Thursday by a federal appeals court that harshly criticized regulators for approving the proposal. A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond blasted the U.S. Forest Service for granting a special-use permit to build the natural gas pipeline through parts of the George Washington and Monongahela National Forests, and granting a right of way across the Appalachian Trail. "A thorough review of the record leads to the necessary conclusion that the Forest Service abdicated its responsibility to preserve national forest resources," Judge Stephanie Thacker wrote for the panel in the unanimous ruling.

Reuters•yesterdayChina's consumers, factories take a beating as economic gloom deepens
China's November retail sales grew at their weakest pace since 2003 and industrial output rose the least in nearly three years as the economy lost further momentum, heaping pressure on Beijing to defuse its trade dispute with the United States. The world's second-largest economy has been losing momentum in recent quarters as a multi-year government campaign to curb shadow lending put increasing financial strains on companies in a blow to production and investment. The stresses on broad activity have been compounded by a sharp escalation in China's trade row with the United States, which has threatened to fracture global supply chains, chill investment, exports and growth.
