Debt-free stocks represent companies with little to no debt on their balance sheets, making them financially stable and less vulnerable to interest rate fluctuations or economic downturns. These companies often rely on internal accruals to fund growth, reflecting strong cash flow management and operational efficiency. For investors, debt-free stocks can offer a lower-risk option with consistent returns, especially in uncertain market conditions.

In the climb from contributor to leader, the rules quietly change. If you’re aiming for the summit, the air gets thinner—and what got you here won’t be enough to get you to the top (a concept first popularized by Marshall Goldsmith in his book What Got You Here Won’t Get You There ). What made you successful early in your finance career—technical accuracy, sharp analysis, flawless execution—won’t be what carries you to the next level.

The 200-day moving average (200 DMA) is a widely used technical indicator in financial markets. It is calculated by taking the average closing prices of a security over the past 200 days. One of the primary reasons the 200-day moving average is popular is its ability to act as a support or resistance level. When a stock’s price is below the 200 DMA, it is often considered to be in a bearish phase.

This is something to watch again. Here is another monthly update on lumber prices. SPECIAL NOTE: The CME group discontinued the Random Length Lumber Futures contract on May 16, 2023. I switched to a physically-delivered Lumber Futures contract that was started in August 2022. Unfortunately, this impacts long term price comparisons since the new contract was priced about 24% higher than the old random length contract for the period when both contracts were available.
