what history says happens to the stock market when geopolitical shocks happen

With tensions between the United States and Russia running as hot as January’s Consumer Price Index reading, many investors are wondering if it’s time to reduce risk in their portfolios amid fear of a new war.

The S&P 500 was higher 12 months later in nine of 12 geopolitical shock events analyzed in a new note (seen below) by Truist co-chief investment officer Keith Lerner. The average return 12-months… Source link

Will buying the dip pay off? Here’s what history shows

“Buy the dip” has been a headline-making phrase lately. Whether from professional strategists, or in the form of a meme on Twitter, the mantra has inspired an entire generation of investors to go bargain hunting for stocks in the face of a market pullback. Moreover, price action since the onset of the pandemic has generally favored that strategy: every drawdown since the beginning of 2020 has been followed by a comeback to a new high. But after a dismal start to the year for equities, and… Source link

What history says about S&P 500’s performance after its craters

History shows it has paid off to buy stocks after major plunges. An investor buying the S&P 500 (^GSPC) 10% below its high, regardless of whether it was the trough, would have netted a median return of 15% over the next 12 months, according to new research going back to 1950 from Goldman Sachs (GS) strategist David Kostin.  Kostin notes there have been 33 S&P 500 corrections of 10% or more since 1950. The median episode has lasted roughly 5 months and encompassed a peak-to-trough decline of… Source link

Was this the best weekend in NFL history?

If this wasn’t the greatest weekend in NFL playoff history, it’ll do until a better one comes along. Four walkoff wins. Four games decided by a combined 15 points. Three upsets that rank among the best games of the year, and one undeniable classic that ranks among the best NFL games of all time. This is why the NFL, like the house, always wins in the end — because after all the off-field drama, after all the sleazy amoral corporate maneuvering and criminal behavior, this is a game that,… Source link

Bills win over Pats was 1st ‘perfect’ offensive game in NFL history

The Buffalo Bills handed the New England Patriots an embarrassing 47-17 wild-card loss on Saturday night, and in the process they made NFL history.  They became the first team ever to have a perfect offensive performance. They scored touchdowns on every single one of their possessions (except the kneel downs at the end of the game). They didn’t face a single fourth down in the entire game, so they had no punts or field goals. They also held onto the ball when they had it, turning the ball… Source link
