Nasdaq Composite Outperforming on Rally from Lows (Chart)


Nasdaq Composite (Red) versus Dow Jones Industrial (Green), Percent Change, Chart

The comparison chart shows that the Nasdaq is more volatile than the Dow.

Since the March lows the Nasdaq has dramatically outperformed the Dow. This indicates that investors are very bullish on tech stocks. Tech stocks are usually good investments in an economic turnaround. An added plus is that Tech stocks are not usually burdened by debt.

The Nasdaq is likely to be extremely vulnerable or any market correction. It is time to be careful.

Nasdaq versus Dow Percent Change 504

APPLE (AAPL) or NVIDIA (NVDA) which was the Better Buy? (Chart)


Chart, APPLE (AAPL) versus NVIDIA (NVDA), Ten Year Chart, Comparison, Monthly Percent Change.

Apple Versus Nvidia percent change 328


From 2000 to late 2003, Apple traded sideways in a tight range. You had plenty of time to understand the implications of the MAC and the IPod. Kids were begging for the IPod long before the stock took off to the upside.

For most of the decade, NVDA would have been the better buy.

Apple was clearly the better buy over the entire ten year period. However, compared to the market return of most stocks over this same time frame, both Apple and Nvidia were good buys. Of late NVDA is taking off to the upside.
