1stdibs: Q2 Profitability Improves, But Declining Buyers Raise Growth Concerns
The stock market slipped in the wake of Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole debut.
The Nasdaq Composite fell 0.5% on Friday. The S&P 500 dropped 0.3%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was essentially flat.
Warsh didn’t commit to raising interest rates in September, but his remarks at the Wyoming economic policy conference sent the yield on the 2-year Treasury note spiking.
Hello, my name is Daniel Bell, and I have been investing my personal accounts since college. I remember my first big “play”; it was with only $2,000, but this was right after the COVID lockdown hit and the market tanked. I used the Robinhood account I had to search out companies according to three parameters that I thought made sense: 1. Had the largest dips after lockdown, 2. Were growing beforehand, and 3. Had high caps. This way, I was able to find several well-run companies that had been very highly affected by the lockdown, but were unlikely to go completely bust before recovering. I was able to make about $1,000, or 50%, in just about 6 months. This is what really got me into value investing. Ever since, I have been an active investor. I have lived in Texas for nearly five years now, and in my personal financial life, I have begun looking into opportunities in medium-scale investing in Central African countries, chiefly Rwanda, but also Burundi, Kenya, the DRC, etc. Aside from this, I am excited to contribute to the Seeking Alpha community!

What Happened in Markets Today
Kevin Warsh gave a hawkish address without upsetting markets. The Fed Chairman continued to make his case against explicit forward guidance in an address at the Jackson Hole summit. But he also gave his clearest comments yet on how he views the current economy, including lots of concerns about inflation. He said better inflation readings this summer hadn’t convinced him the underlying trend was improving, and that current borrowing and lending conditions don’t appear restrictive.
