Good MorningEquity markets tanked on Monday as renewed fear of a U.S. recession rippled through the market. The fear was caused by Friday's NFP report, which wasn't bad but showed deterioration in job gains and employment, suggesting the FOMC waited too long to cut rates. The risk with the data is that because labor data lags behind economic reality, the situation is actually much worse than indicated, and a recession is unavoidable.
How far can the S&P 500 fall? A long way. After two years of rallying, the index is overextended and is more than 40% above its trend line. The market will unlikely shave 40% of its value, but it could extend the sell-off by another 5% to 10% before it is through. Among the potential outcomes is that the index reverts back to its 2022-2023 trading range, where it will remain indefinitely.

From Our Partners | | Marc Chaikin, founder of Chaikin Analytics, says two forces - AI disruption and fracturing global trade - are triggering a historic wealth transfer already underway in 2026. Household names like Intuit (-57%), Boston Scientific (-49%), and Tractor Supply (-40%) are cratering, while lesser-known companies like Sandisk (+573%) and Rackspace (+444%) surge.
Chaikin has identified specific stocks he believes investors should sell before they fall further - and the names may surprise you. He's also pinpointing a company tapped as Nvidia's self-driving partner and a potential AI megadeal that could split into three high-growth stocks.
