I recall 1987's Black Monday vividly and, chances are, you may too if you're of a certain vintage like I am. The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed an unprecedented 22.6% in a single trading session. Many investors thought the end of the financial universe was upon us and were caught totally flat-footed when the major indices came roaring back. Now we've got another big rout to add to the tally of days most investors would rather not have experienced... and another great opportunity on our hands. Speaking of which, the shellacking wasn't as bad as you might think. The Dow dropped "only" 3.15% in percentage terms, despite the fact that it got a global trillion-dollar buzzcut and sank 831.83 points Wednesday, then dropped another 300 points quickly on Thursday - bringing the total to around 1,100 points, as I write late Thursday evening. By the time you read this on Saturday morning, we may well have seen some bargain hunting on Friday - but it's too early to tell for now. That's neither here nor there. The time for selling aggressively has come and gone. Now you want to play offense for maximum profits. As I noted earlier in the week here in Total Wealth and "on air" during multiple TV appearances, this was a purely technical selloff driven by a witches' brew of deleveraging, liquidity, and computerized sell programs. It's what comes next that'll be great for your money, even if the selling isn't over.

I know that goes against most mainstream headlines right now, but all of those can go into a "might happen" pile. You should be more concerned about the "will happen" pile, and there could be huge profits ahead if you're lined up with these companies.

Millions of investors were - and still are - thinking about running for the hills. Here are a few of the questions I'm getting (and the answers) that will help you navigate the next few trading sessions. [Here's what you need to do]( --------------------------------------------------------------- [WARNING: Catastrophe ahead to affect 176 million U.S. investors]( The greatest economic catastrophe is about to blindside us all. Decades ago, corrupt money managers and politicians buried a $6 trillion ticking time bomb in the heart of the U.S. economy - and when it blows, scarcely a soul will not be affected. You need to start preparing NOW, because when this bomb hits, you'll be scurrying to pick up the pieces...

It's probably complicated, but why would the rising Fed rates means stocks are going down? I am trying to make sense of it all. Thank you." - Rachel P. No worries, Rachel and thanks for asking! The relationship between rising rates and stocks is actually far simpler than the news channels make out. Interest rates are a reflection of overall economic health and stock markets a reflection of corporate environment that drives it. Accordingly, profits are generally higher when rates are lower or falling and lower when the cost of money is higher or rising. The reason is that rising rates - yields in "traderspeak" - generally reduce profits is by making every dollar borrowed more expensive. Think about an adjustable car payment or an adjustable rate mortgage. Imagine you have a $350 payment every month with rates at 2% but that your payment will jump to $400 when rates hit 3%, $450 at 3.5%, etc. Assuming you want to maintain your standard of living, either you've got to make more money so that the cost of that loan doesn't pinch your wallet or, you've got to find a way to reduce the debt by paying it off faster, before rates rise. Companies have the same dilemma. They have to raise prices to keep up with higher rates on the money they borrow if they want to maintain the profit margins investors depend on for high share prices. If that's not possible or consumers are unwilling to pay, then profits go down and investors sell shares (because they are no longer backed by the profits that led them to buy in the first place). This is why traders are so skittish and why the selling was so extreme. The Fed is pursuing a "damn-the-torpedoes" approach to rates and has penciled in more hikes despite the fact that their customers - us - don't want 'em. Traders know this will pinch profits, so they're selling to maximize their gains. Now, there are other things that contributed to the speed and ferocity of the selloff, including leverage, algorithms, and even sentiment, but that's a story for another time. Rising rates and a Fed that's lost the plot started the ball rolling. Let me know if you have any more questions and I will do my best to answer them in upcoming columns or videos!
