I know what Warren would say... Should I Sell My Stocks Now or Later? [Wealth Daily] Jason Williams / Aug 9, 2024 Should I Stay or Should I Go? Dear Reader, In just the past week alone, markets have experienced their [worst drops in years](. Weâve seen 1,000-point swings in the Dow and Nasdaq. Weâve [watched]( as AI darlings like Nvidia and Microsoft shed hundreds of billions in value in a single day. And as I'm typing this, the Nasdaq is down 8% over the past week, the S&P is down 6% and the Dow is down 5%. Thatâs after all three rose nearly 2% in the dayâs trading. Stocks rally in the morning, only to pull the rug in the afternoon and erase nearly all their gains. And those drops combined with that volatility has many investors asking the question: Should I sell my stocks now? [should i sell my stocks now] It's a completely valid question to ask oneself in times like these. Especially when there are countless anonymous accounts on the social media networks telling you that the end is here and the sky is falling. Itâs natural to get a little fearful. But youâve got to remember what Warren Buffett [said]( about fear, youâve got to [be greedy]( when everyone else is fearful. And right now, there arenât many people on Wall Street who arenât shaking in their Italian loafers and Patagonia vests. [should i sell my stocks now fear] Uranium Is Surging: Where to Invest Now The price for uranium is skyrocketing. It hasnât been this high in more than 16 years. Utilities are scrambling to secure as much fuel as they possibly can. As the American Nuclear Society puts it, "[The U.S. is] on the verge of a crisis." The last time we were in a uranium supply crunch, investors couldâve pocketed gains as huge as 8,200%. One little-known company from the Midwest is in the perfect position to ride this new bull run to stunning highs. Alex Koyfman just published an urgent presentation on this unique opportunity. Access is instant and free. [Get the full story here while thereâs still time.]( Everyone is Scared. Should I Sell My Stocks Now? Now, that heading might sound like a silly statement, but thatâs exactly what people are saying when they ask if they should sell stocks now. That image above is a screenshot of the âfear & greed index.â Itâs a combination of seven indicators measuring the emotions of the marketplace. The first is market momentum and itâs measured as a relationship between the S&P 500âs level and its 125-day moving average. When the level drops below the average, thatâs a fear signal. Then youâve got price strength. And thatâs just the difference between stocks making new 52-week highs and new 52-week lows. Then thereâs an indicator that measures the breadth of the market. Simply put, thatâs how many stocks are advancing versus how many are retreating. The index then takes into account the relationship between weekly put and call options. A high reading is an indication of fear. Of course, the VIX comes into play. When itâs above the 50-day moving average, thatâs a sign of fear, too. Then the difference between demand for stocks and bonds shows if people are seeking safe havens. And the difference between the yields on junk bonds and investment grade ones is the final measure. - Market Momentum â The S&P 500 versus its 125-day moving average
- Stock Price Strength â New highs minus new lows on the NYSE
- Stock Price Breadth â Number of stocks going up minus number of stocks going down
- Put and Call Options â 5-day average of puts divided by calls
- Market Volatility â The VIX Index versus its 50-day moving average
- Safe Haven Demand â Difference between 20-day stock and bond returns
- Junk Bond Demand â Difference in yields on junk bonds and investment grade bonds And right now, everything but the strength of stock prices (which is neutral) is pointing to âextreme fear.â So, when you ask, âshould I sell my stocks now,â youâre just agreeing that youâre scared too. What you should really be asking is what do smart investors do when everyone is scared. Warren Buffett says they get greedy when others get fearful. And Nathan Rothschild said they buy when thereâs blood in the streets. Iâm not one to argue with them. As Iâve been saying all week, markets go up more often than they go down. This study I keep sharing proves that's true: [should i sell my stocks now markets up] And the point of investing is to buy low. Itâs not to sell low. So, if youâre asking yourself, âshould I sell my stocks now,â remind yourself that youâd be selling them low. And then remind yourself that youâre an investor and investors sell stocks when theyâre high, not when they're low. At least, thatâs what successful investors do. BREAKING: Biden Announces âStimulus Stipendsâ Payouts (Claim Yours NOW)... If you thought the three checks you received during the pandemic were the last ones, youâd be wrong. See, Biden just introduced the [âStimulus Stipendsâ programâ¦]( And itâs handing everyday Americans payments for up to $7,882 â each quarter. [Get the FULL details on how to claim yours now.]( So, Should I Sell My Stocks Now or Not? Usually Iâd call this the bottom line or the main bullet point. Today, I only have one answer â No. You shouldnât sell your stocks now. If youâre trying to time the market, then you already missed. Stocks have fallen. But this isnât one of those 1980s Life Alert commercials. These markets both can and will get back up. That's why the question shouldnât be âshould I sell my stocks now.â It should be âwhich stocks should I be buying.â Because investors who buy when markets are down profit as they go back up. But investors who sell when markets are down end up buying after theyâve gone back up. Donât wait for the stock market to go back up. By then, your chance to buy stocks while theyâre down will be gone. Youâve got to be brave in the face of adversity. Youâve got to be greedy when others are fearful. Youâve got to look at your own blood running through the streets and think what a great time it must be to buy. Thatâs how you beat the markets. Thatâs how you cement family legacies. Thatâs how you win. Now, letâs stop asking, âshould I sell my stocks now.â And letâs start looking for the stocks we should be buying.
