Five years ago, we enjoyed a 20% surge in three days (March 23-26, 2020) after a 5-week bear market.
But 25 years ago, on March 24, 2000, the S&P 500 peaked and didn’t fully recover until 2013.
So, which do we face this spring – a quick recovery after a 10% correction, or a Lost Decade to come?
You and I face this investment choice as April approaches and new tariffs begin (or end) in maddening randomness. In particular, I have my eye on three to five stocks I want to buy this week. Should I pull the trigger on them, or wait for the next big down leg in this current correction – or is the correction over?
In 2020, as this year, the S&P 500 peaked on February 19. This, the bottom (so far) was set on Thursday, March 13, with a 10%+ decline in the S&P 500, on both a closing basis (-10.1%) and intra-day (-10.5%). NASDAQ is down 14.2% (intra-day) and down 13.7% on a closing basis in the same 16 trading days.
