Callie's Articles

I’ve studied the stock market pretty intensely for almost 12 years now. Over a decade of pulling lines of data, building spreadsheets, adding spreadsheets on top of those spreadsheets, and marveling at the parallels that exist between economic cycles and human reactions. This week, I want to share one of the five craziest facts I’ve pulled about the S&P 500 Index (SPX), notes Callie Cox, chief market strategist at Ritholtz Wealth Management.
Wall Street is feeling a rare sort of pain, yet our interest-rate superheroes at the Federal Reserve aren’t taking action. Since December, the Fed has been adamant about keeping interest rates relatively high as tariffs work their way through the economy and to our wallets. Don’t wait for the Fed to save you, advises Callie Cox, chief market strategist at Ritholtz Wealth Management.
One lesson you learn as you get older is how complicated the world can be. Financial decisions can’t be made on a spreadsheet. And even though the world may feel terrible, we’re still a long way away from the dreaded S&P 500 (SPX) “crashes” of old trader lore, observes Callie Cox, chief market strategist at Ritholtz Wealth Management.
A new year doesn’t magically change the calculus for your investments. But it’s a good time to pause, reflect, and set expectations. And expectations, my friends, may be our biggest pitfall in 2025. Face it. We’ve been spoiled, explains Callie Cox, chief market strategist at Ritholtz Wealth Management.
