Over the next few days, maybe even weeks and months, people will be looking for signs of a bottom in the stock market. Or perhaps the fund has already lagged behind us after the S&P 500 stock market fell by double digits during intraday trading. There is roughly a 90% chance that the stock market has already bottomed out in 2022. On May 22, 2022, the stock market will hit a low, down 15.1% from its high. We won't know when the market will actually bottom until it does. While daily dips and bouts of downward pressure on prices can cause a lot of stress for investors, it's important to remember that short-term fluctuations don't dictate the course of the year for the stock market. Everyone wants to buy low and sell high, but given that macroeconomic, political, and economic events can affect a stock's price, it's hard to say with certainty that a particular stock has bottomed out. There are technical trading programs that will show you the ideal time to buy and sell certain stocks based on trading patterns, but they cannot definitively show if a low has been reached. People try to predict the bottom of the stock market in order to buy low and take advantage of discounts. When too many investors want to sell all of their stocks, prices fall across all sectors of the market...and there are price imbalances. Yes, the market has given us a giant leap: the stock price has more than quadrupled since bottoming out due to the financial crisis and the financial crisis. For example, shares rose 39% in just the first three months after hitting post-financial crisis lows. That's a far cry from last year, when all three major U.S. stock indexes rose at least 18%. The growth is encouraging, but investors should keep in mind that this is not the first time market indices have risen sharply this year. Meanwhile, 53% said the rally was a "bear market rally," meaning stocks could fall again. Even though the market has risen more than 20% of the benchmark needed to signal the start of a new bull market, some people on Wall Street remain skeptical. Despite the compelling historical lesson (which suggests we are nine sessions away from a short-term market low), investors who can easily lead stocks into a bear market still have a lot to do. Even investors far from retirement may be wondering if now is a good time to invest in the stock market, if we are above the low, and how long it will take to recover. If you're confused by the market's frenetic behavior and wondering if the bottom is finally here, you're not alone. Remember, in the days and weeks to come, none of us - not a single reporter, blogger, reporter, financial analyst, hedge fund manager or financial advisor (including myself) will know for an hour or so What happens in the market in an hour, and half. . ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJD16uoasps
