I had a sense of déjà vu when I read about the US market losing over 300 points last night. This dip can be partly explained by the good jobs numbers that came out on Monday (295,000 new jobs in February, beating expectations by 55,000).

So why is such a positive number causing such a negative reaction from stocks? Well, it was the same back when QE2 was being scrapped. Good news these days can be taken badly by investors, because when the Fed thinks the economy is looking good enough, interest rates could be cut, which the market won’t like.

But the bottom line is this: Monday’s jobs number was a positive sign for the US economy. Despite short-term traders selling off to make a quick buck, I still think there is enough good news about to be positive for stocks for the mid to long term.

When that view changes, my subscribers will be the first to know, but until then I’m treating these short-term ups and downs as buying opportunities.

One thing that I tell my subscribers all the time is that SMSF investing is, for the most part, a long-term game. While we’re definitely happy with the 13% gain our portfolios made in the first two months of this year, that doesn’t mean we can sit back, pat ourselves on the back and consider the job done.
