Weekly Update

05/12/2006

Inflation fears, lower consumer-sentiment, and the prospect of more interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve pushed stocks lower this week. The S&P 500 retreated 2.6% for the week while small stocks fell 5% as measured by the Russell 2000 Index. On the positive side, the International Energy Agency today lowered forecasts for worldwide oil demand, causing oil prices to fall $1.22 per barrel.

It has been a very long time since the markets have experienced a 10% correction, and the Russell 2000 Index is half-way there. Although they can be painful, 10% corrections are healthy for the markets and for long-term investors in particular, because the corrections eliminate a lot of the speculation that can arise from a long smooth ride like we've experienced recently. Going too long without a 10% correction can lead to an even larger sell-off down the road. The longest period of time that the U.S. stock markets went without a 10% correction ended when the tech bubble burst in 2000.
