Warning: Yesterday Was NOT Bearish for Stocks At All!

Is the market about to crash?

I ask because everywhere I look, I see analysts and gurus proclaiming that yesterday’s “bearish” action was the start of a major collapse.

There’s just one problem with this… MOST of the market rallied yesterday.

I’m not making this up… over 400 of the 500 companies in the S&P 500 finished the day UP yesterday. The reason the market fell at all is because big tech, which comprises 30% of the market’s weight, dropped hard.

In fact, the overall market breadth (a measure of internal market strength) actually erupted to new all time highs yesterday.

Does this look like the start of a major collapse to you?

This is why you have to be so careful when someone starts spouting off bearish arguments based on stocks dropping. It’s so easy to panic and sell… when the dip might in fact be a MAJOR buying opportunity.

Case in point, a LOT of people sold in April when the market corrected just ~5% (a totally healthy correction in the context of a bull market). The S&P 500 has since rallied over 600 points. Anyone who sold in April MISSED OUT on making some serious money! 

 

Remember, as investors, our job is to make money, not look for any excuse to dump stocks and panic about something bad happening. And as I’ve outlined in recent articles, this means riding bull markets for as long as possible, and then side-stepping bear markets when they eventually hit.

In the very simplest of terms, you need to be invested in stocks, until an objective, verifiable tool (not your feelings or limiting beliefs) tells you it’s time to “get out.”

I’ve developed a tool that takes ALL of the guessing work out of this problem. With just one look at this tool, you can tell whether it’s a good time to buy stocks or not. I detail it, along with what it’s currently saying about the market today in a Special Investment Report How to Predict a Crash.
