2 Certainties in a Down Market

[logo, fvix, header,] September 8, 2024 Every 14 months, the stock market pulls back more than 10%. Sometimes it takes longer than that, sometimes it’s quicker. Since 1980, the average is 14 months. Our last pullback over 10% was from September 13th, 2022 to October 13th, 2022 when the market dropped 13.66%. Yes, you read that year right… 2022. That means we’re pushing month 24 without a pullback over 10%. The tension you feel when you see VIX higher… The worry when you talk to others about how overblown the Magnificent 8 are… The anxiety when you look at a Portfolio that’s likely higher than it’s EVER been… It’s because we’re due for a correction. The question is no longer “IF,” it’s “WHEN.” If someone tells you they can predict when… they’re lying. It’s incredibly difficult to do, else more traders would be retired on islands in Fiji. So, what do you do? You have two options. Option 1: Know that pullbacks are inevitable. Believe in the “long term” and maybe just don’t check your Portfolio when the pullback happens, cause you know it’ll be painful. (And hope you’re not close to retirement in the middle of a pullback!) Option 2: See a pullback as an opportunity [thanks to two certainties.]( We may not be able to predict WHEN the next 10%+ pullback will happen, but we know that two things happen FOR 100% CERTAIN on every pullback. - SPY will drop - VIX will pop [Since we know with 100% certainty those will happen, we can trade it!]( Anything we can predict - we can trade. This is no different! I want you to flip the script on market pullbacks - and start seeing them as the opportunity they are! [Check this out before that 10% pullback hits (I think it could be SOON).]( [sig, mark sig, signature] --------------------------------------------------------------- Don't miss when our traders go live!
