What does this mean? Well, earnings and assets decreasing moreso than stock prices.
---------------------------------------
Not sure what your question is? I have to give a friendly suggestion though - while investing in an index fund is a smarter strategy than many people perform (i.e. penny stock trading), your portfolio is still going to be at the mercy of the entire stock market.
This means when the market goes into recession, your portfolio follows along.
The reason is because an index fund is comprised of many different types of companies: some overvalued, undervalued, strong, weak, etc. By investing in the entire index, you're putting your fishing net into the water and grabbing whatever comes out.
Many people (myself included) believe a better strategy is to only invest in the strong, undervalued companies and leave the rest of the garbage in the lake.
Hope this helps.
Hey,
You should try with Penny Stocks Trading (you can find more info here: http://pennystocks.toptips.org)
Penny stocks, also known as cent stocks in some countries, are common shares of small public companies that trade at low prices per share.
I've been subscribing to this PennyStock web site for about a year now and have loved the objective advice they give. He really does look for quality stocks and I've made some pretty nice profits on a lot of his suggestions. Being still fairly new to investing I have been dabbling a lot in penny stocks to try and grow my account. I may not have a big account, but it's a lot bigger than it was a year ago. On just one of Nathan's picks this year I managed to make my investment back ten-fold! Be careful! Penny stocks are notoriously risky but if you follow the right method the risk is almost 0. I suggest to invest only little money first and then reinvest the profits. This is the site I'm using: http://pennystocks.toptips.org

So I have tried a stock simulator (Based off actual stock values).
I noticed a comparison with the S&P 500. But I noticed that the graph for this sends to vary between 2% and -2% where what I invest in tends to increase when the S&P increases but stays flat when it decreases.
(I am using stock market survivor).
I have noticed this trend happening for the last month and a half. (My current gain is between 4 and 6% if that matters for the entire duration of my investments 1.5-2 months, increasing slowly).
I understand that it is supposed to be an indicator of how well the market is doing so I want to know why it keeps alternating always between the same amount (The S&P 500, mine seem to consistently increase albeit slowly).
I understand only the most basic of economics, I try to predict the stocks at this point pretty much based off past trends in the graphs and what other graphs like them tend to do, so keep that in mind in your explanation.
