Worst Dow Streak in 90 Years (However…)
May 23, 2022
Hi Attendee,
You look across the markets right now, and it's not pretty.
The Dow is down about 6,000 points since January.
It just hit its eighth straight weekly decline.
That's its worst streak since 1932, according to The Wall Street Journal.
And the S&P just became an official bear market on Friday.
Remember what the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett, says...
"Be greedy when others are fearful."
That's a mantra that should stick with every one of us.
Because what you do next with your money could be the most important thing you do over the next 10 years.
Look, historically, every crash represents the best time to enter the market. And this time will be no different.
And the crash and recovery cycle has been happening faster and faster over time.
For example, in 2008... the Dow dropped 5,500 points in just nine months.
Investors were terrified.
But it was all the way back UP 5,600 points a year later.
Those who saw the moment for what it was - an all-time buying opportunity - made a fortune.
Today, the market is nearly 500% higher.
The coronavirus crash was even faster.
The S&P 500 reached a record high on February 19, 2020, and fell to a bottom on March 23.
All told, the market dropped a stunning 10,000 points.
It was the fastest bear market in history, lasting a mere 33 days. But by late August, just five months later, the S&P had surpassed its previous high.
It set a new record.
Now, no one knows for sure how long our current bear market will continue.
However, in downturns, the best investors put fresh money to work in great companies at better prices.
The second-best investors sit on their hands but at least remain invested - and reinvest their dividends if they don't need the income.
And the worst investors?
They panic and sell. Or they don't panic but sell anyway, rationalizing that they will get back in later when things look better.
You know, like they always do at the bottom. (I jest, of course.)
Part of doing the right thing is having the proper perspective.
If you invest to meet long-term goals, don't let short-term events derail your plans.
How will you feel about this sell-off two years from now... five years from now... or 10 years from now? Will you wish you had stuck with your plans or abandoned them? Will it look smart to have bought stocks that are cheap or to have sold stocks that are cheap?
The questions answer themselves.
It's also important not to torment yourself with the day-to-day swings in the market.
Over the last few years, you may have enjoyed logging on to your brokerage account a few times a day to check your account value.
It feels good to make money, to see your net worth grow.
But what is the point of making yourself miserable by looking at a falling account value in a down market?
You should avoid that temptation.
It's impossible to not feel emotional about the stock market from time to time.
But feeling emotional is one thing. Acting on it is another.
Fear, anxiety and regret do not generally lead to good investment decisions.
To the extent that you look at how much stocks have dropped, view them with an opportunity mindset.
In particular, don't dwell on what your account is worth in a bear market relative to what it was worth at its peak.
After all, it would never have reached that level if you didn't own equities.
And peaks are never visible except in hindsight.
If you stay invested - and continue to act wisely - your account will exceed the old peak in the next bull market.
Realize, too, that every market break of the last 200 years was a buying opportunity.
But only for those who acted on it.
As Warren Buffett often points out, it hasn't paid to bet against American businesses for the past 246 years.
There's no good reason to start now.
At America's Financial Independence Day... on June 9 at 8 p.m. ET...
I'm going to introduce you to a strategy that is perfect for down markets because it identifies the companies that are in very strong financial position.
The opportunities you will see have proven to rise as much as 2,043% in as little as two months.
And with the best opportunities at bargain-low prices right now, this could be one of those all-time great buying opportunities.
Make the right decision and be there with us for America's Financial Independence Day.
Good investing,
Alexander Green
P.S. One of my readers, Joy, wrote to me and said she does "freak out" at times like these in the market. She said...
"I sold in 2008, and that was a bad idea. I'm 60 years old, and I'm going to wait this out... Thank you for reminding me to not look every day at my positions."
It appears Joy is being much smarter today. I hope you are too.
