Are US Stocks Cheap Today?
Of course, not! The forward Price-to-Earnings (PE) ratio (using Consensus analyst estimates for Earnings) for the S&P 500 Index stood at a whopping 21.6 (as of June 1, 2020). This compares to the 5-year, 10-year, 15-year and 20-year averages for this ratio of 16.7; 15.0; 14.6 and 15.5, respectively. None of these come even close to the nose-bleeding levels we are seeing today.

Best Stocks to buy
I am starting this blog with a very controversial paragraph However i due to research and current events in the world the some China stocks are very good buys at the moment. Now i know they are to "blame" for the current situation of the world but due to this Trump has ordered the federal pension fund to remove its plan to invest several billion dollars into Chinese stocks. Now this alone isn't enough to crash their stocks however this action will definitely cause some uncertainty.

Covid-19 Could Change Your Concept of Growth and Value Stocks
Some expert opinions doing the rounds deal with the idea that if there’s anything the pandemic has done, it is turning the value investing and growth investing factors topsy-turvy. Marketwatch reports Kathleen Houssels and Stephen Dean introducing this idea in an article, on the basis of computational models. Houssels believes conventional investing factors have become redundant. That could be the case till markets get back to normalcy. Until then, following conventional factors could be walking down a blind alley, she says.

A Dive Into Stock Market Investing
It all started the summer of 2017. As many people do,while scrolling through YouTube and i came across a video about investing in the stock market. The video heavily glorified the market and overly advertised the fantasy of getting rich quick. As a recent High School graduate with no intention of attending college i immediately became interested. I began to dive more into to the YouTube universe. Watching many Stock Market "gurus'' and Virtual Mentors. A few caught my eye like Ricky Gutierrez , Jeremy From Financial Education and others. Quickly understanding the basics of investing in the stock market i wanted to know more. I decided to study from the legend Warren Buffet. In doing so, i came across The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham. With all that knowledge i consumed my clueless 17 year old self was optimistic.

Reversing Forward
Reversing to move forward is part of Jerrick's journey from the OTCQB to the NASDAQ Capital Markets. From inception, Jerrick's goal has been to build a billion dollar company. In fact, that goal drove our decision to go public in the first place. While Jerrick Media Holdings, Inc. became a publicly traded company in February 2016, my particular journey to that point can be traced as far back as 1990.

Possible Reasons for Stock Splitting
As an investor, you need to understand all there is to know about stock dilution. Stock splitting is one of the most common ways in which the shares of a company are diluted. When the board of directors of a publicly traded company decides to issue new stock to existing shareholders and lower the value of current stocks, it is called a split. Instead of buying research papers, companies often decide to split their stock for one of the following reasons.
