Currently, $SPY is working with in solid range, but it looks like $385 might be the bottom. If it breaks $385 we will move down to $330 but I doubt it breaks. I think is not the beginning of the end but the start of a new trading pattern. Chop possibly for the rest of the yea. Up and down movement working within the range of $450-$410, but again the market can do whatever it wants but my guess is we do not see $500 for another 2-3 years, we got some consolidation to do before we get that type of movement, the last two years are bad examples of the market volatility and movement. The market relied heavily on tech stocks to bolsters itself through the pandemic, with strong earning reports quarter after quarter from the FAANGs (largely tech companies), the "market" was able to rally. The "rally" was more so bullish sentiment built on a façade, it was like looking at a mirage of water in a desert, it looks great but when you finally get there, there is no water. That is how our market acted, we finally got to the top, we got out of the pandemic and we realized there was no water. The market was overbought, there is a myriad of reasons why: stimulus checks, retail trading boost, people staying home, transportation cost reduction, you name it. Yet no one factored any of these into their estimations, like how could you not factor in the price of gas in a company like Amazon, gas costs went down, product costs remained the same, margin increase. But let's say you did see that and factor it in, you also missed the fact that over millions Americans continued to eat, while the workers to produce food decreased, leading to a decrease in reserve supplies to produce food, leading to global shortages that we will be facing in the next couple of months. By the time most people realized this, it was too late. But none of the matters because now people overreacting, they are selling everything and that's where you the smart savvy investor come in.
Snapchat is down 40% today (5/24), oversold, when people are bearish bad news becomes the worst news in history, and this plays into my theory. That the reason the market is tanking is not due to some economic collapse, the stock market doesn't work in tandem with the economy anymore, not since 2008. If it did, 2020 and 2021 would have been much worse. No the stock market operates on it's own and is controlled by major capital. Tech stocks need to rebalance, they were overbought, this should not be a shock to anyone. In order to achieve in equilibrium in the stock market we most lower the prices of the FAANGs + MTBV, this will allow the market to find a balance to build up from. The issue with selling the FAANGs + MTBV is that drags down the entire market, which if you remove the tech sector has been down for the last couple of months, so mid-caps and small-caps have been hammered by this downward movement. Snapchat being down %40 is a buy opportunity, Pinterest losing 23% off Snapchat bearish sentiment is a buy opportunity, Trade Desk hitting almost a 2 year low, buy opportunity. Even if I am wrong, and the market turns down for the next 1.5 years, in 3 years you will have made a profit. That is the wonderful part of the stock market, in a 20 year time span you are less than 0.01% to lose money. But if I am correct and the market jumps from here you just missed your best buy opportunity.
FAANGs + MTBV:
Facebook (Meta)
Apple
Amazon
Netflix
Google (Alphabet)
Microsoft
Tesla
Berkshire Hathaway
