You wonโt time it.
Stay invested.
The S&P 500 is now down 7.6% from its January peak.
Is that a lot? Not at all.
This is right in line with the median correction off an all-time high since the March 2009 low.
We see a decline of this amount or more during most calendar years. That's the price of admission.
Over the last 75 years, the average intra-year market drop has been 14%. If you are overly stressed out about the current 5% drawdown, the stock market isnโt for you. Downside volatility is the price investors pay for long-term outperformance.
Everybody wants long term returns.
But most people never think about what to expect between now and then.
If you try to avoid the risk. Youโll likely avoid the return.
Amazing video.
Semifinal of Iowa state high school basketball tournament.
