Publisher's Note: We strive to over-deliver when it comes to the timely analysis we offer at Wealth Daily, especially in times of market turmoil like we've been experiencing. It's also no secret that our market following gurus run extremely successful premium investment communities. Below is an excerpt from today’s update to our largest premium investor community, Jason Williams' The Wealth Advisory. With markets down and investors in a panic, we think Jason's experience as a former Wall Street analyst is something everyone can benefit from and that his message is something everyone should hear…
Greetings and welcome to another likely wild week on Wall Street!
Last week, Liberation Day saw the start of the liberation of around $5 trillion in market value as investors panicked when they realized how big Trump’s tariff aspirations truly were.
Stocks slid far enough that the S&P 500 was close to opening in a bear market yesterday. A bear market, for those wondering, is when stocks have fallen 20% or more from their peak.
The Nasdaq’s been in one of those. But the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrials are still holding in the correction realm of the cycle.
Stocks closed at their lows both Thursday and Friday last week, suggesting more selling was ahead when markets opened this week. And selling there was…
Until CNBC erroneously reported that the White House was issuing a 90-day pause on tariff enforcement.
That took markets from being down about 3% on the day to being up about 3% on the day, until the White House reported that it was “fake news.” Then the selling started again.
But with markets ending the day only a few ticks lower than where they started, there’s a chance we put in a short-term bottom.
Now, that being said, we broke through 5,000 in the S&P yesterday. So, we could test that level again as things shake out. And this is why I advise folks against market timing.
There are always arguments that the market could go either lower or higher at any given moment in time.
But in the long-term, markets go up over time. Corrections and crashes happen, but they’re followed by recoveries and bull markets.
And, as I pointed out last week in my Wealth Daily article, often the best days in the market come right after the worst.
So, this week, we’re focused on staying the course, staying calm, and looking for opportunities in the wreckage.
Because discount buy prices lead to increased gains. But, as I said here last week, the team and I get it…
It’s tough to maintain a brave face when the world seems to be falling apart around you.
And that’s part of the reason we introduced this feature several years back: to help you cut the emotions out of your allocations…
Now, while much of this content will still end up being related to the public market, the focus is simply to monitor trends and highlight potentially profitable investments before the crowd gets to them.
That’s my fancy way of pointing out that official recommendations are and will remain the exclusive content of your monthly issues.
Now, with that out of the way, let’s get into your 55th Weekly Wealth update…
Keep Calm – Even If You’re Retired
Investors five or more years away from retirement should indeed view the past week’s market turmoil as a long-term buying opportunity.
