U.S. markets will be closed Monday for a holiday.
But that's giving millions of stock investors a three-day weekend to ...
Assess the damage in their portfolios ...
Scan the dark clouds on the immediate horizon, and …
List out the stocks they want to dump.
ASAP.
So, even if markets can muster a temporary rally, don’t be surprised to see a series of routs, followed by a great crash.
To understand why, consider the facts:
Fact #1. The Fed has been the primary force behind the economy and the stock market, using printed money to buy up $8 trillion in assets since 2008.
No one can deny this. The trillions of dollars are sitting right there in its balance sheet for the entire world to see.
Fact #2. The Fed has been mostly holding interest rates near zero, also since 2008. Again, no one can deny this.
Fact #3. Now the game is over! No more Fed buying up assets like crazy. No more holding interest rates near zero. With inflation at 8.6% and rising, those kinds of shenanigans are absolutely unthinkable.
Fact #4. And now, overleveraged companies are on their own. Ditto for millions of investors.
Result: Some of the most popular stocks have already taken a huge beating.
META (Facebook) is down 53%, a half-trillion dollars in market cap wiped out.
Amazon is down 44% — more than $1 trillion wiped out.
Netflix — a 74% wipeout.
Not to mention more than 3,000 other Nasdaq stocks that have lost half their value. Or more.
I don’t want you to be stuck with the raw end of that deal ...
I hope you’re following my recommendation to build cash and stash it in a safe place.
Better yet, I hope you can learn how to USE market crashes to protect and build your wealth.
That’s not guaranteed. But recent history shows that’s very possible.
For example, on three crash days in May, I counted 62 distinct trades selected by our Weiss Stock Ratings that could have made you at least 100% gains each.
On the first crash day, we saw 27 trades that returned gains ranging from 100% to 419%. The average gain was 206%.
On the second crash day, the numbers were better: We saw 19 trades with gains ranging from 100% to 809%. Average gain: 251%.
On the third crash day, it was even better than that: 16 trades ranging from 100% to 1,130%. Average gain: 324%.
Even if you invested only $10,000, and even if you chose just the average trades, you could have made $20,600 on day one, $25,100 on day two and $32,400 on day three. That's a total of $78,100.
All on days when the market plunged.
Now, our research indicates that could be just the tip of the iceberg … that there’s significantly more opportunity on the horizon in these turbulent times.
