It Always Bounces Back

The U.S. economy is doing better than you think; Like everything in life, it goes in cycles.

The trend line (Red) of the U.S. S&P 500 index, always trends upward over time!

In 1929 the stock market crashed ~90%
In 1973 the stock market crashed ~50%
In 1987 the stock market crashed ~35%
In 2008 the stock market crashed ~55%
In 2020 the stock market crashed ~35%

And recovered to all-time highs each and every time.

The stock market often reflects investor sentiment, meaning how ‘confident’ people are in their countries economy – sometimes people are excited – other years people are fearful. But that just means you have to wait out those that are fearful.

Legendary Quote by a legendary man, Warren Buffett

…Since 1926, the stock market has returned an average ~10.5% per year. Some years more, some years less. But let this post teach you one thing:

Never let short-term fear control long-term decisions
