Good MorningThe market is gearing up for the worst. Friday’s action had the major indices down more than 2.0% at the lows as traders and investors prepare for next week’s election. The S&P 500 closed at its lowest level in over a month and is in danger of confirming a double-top reversal. If the index falls only a little more it will set a three-month low and put it in position for a full-blown correction. The worst-case scenario has the index down nearly 30% at the 2,600 level.
The good news for investors is that this volatility will be nothing more than a blip on the radar in no time at all. The U.S. economy is still in the middle of a bull market that has many years left to run. We recommend investors ignore the headlines and stick to their investment strategies and prepare for the next major buying opportunity. It will come sooner than you think.
