The Market Crash is good for you

I know everyone is feeling the pain right now—the markets have been absolutely crushed! Retirement accounts are hurting, but here's the silver lining: this is nothing like 2008 when people lost 60% of their portfolios!

Could it get as bad as 2008? I'm not sure! But what I understand very well is price action, and making money in the markets is all about being on the right side of the trend.

That's my goal with Profit Punch:

• To help you make money when markets are great

• To help you protect your money in bad markets by staying out

  • For adventurous souls, to make money on the downside as well! (Shorting)

I was pretty proud of myself yesterday when the market crashed. Why? Because I had gone short a while back, and my account was actually UP!

Stop freaking out!

If you're anything like my friends, you're probably freaking out. I've received so many calls this week from people asking what to do with their portfolios and worried about the future.

Funny thing is, I asked one friend to bet $1,000 that the markets won't recover, and he refused! Deep down, he knows everything will be fine, even though he's scared right now.

What to do with your portfolio if you don't want to sell and get hit with capital gains tax is something I'll dive into next week.

Bad Markets = Big Opportunities!

For today, I wanted to remind you that bad markets are actually GOOD for you! Why? Because the biggest moves in the stock market come after bear markets!

Here are a few examples from just the last 3 years(2022), in case you don't believe me:

META

491% Upside after the 2022 Bear Market
$10K would have turned into $59,100!

NVDA

1300% Gain after the 2022 Bear Market
$10K would have turned into $140,000!

AMZN

200% Gain after the 2022 Bear Market
$10K would have turned into $30,000!

Broadband (AVGO)

500% Gain after the 2022 Bear Market
$10K would have turned into $60,000!

SMCI

2300% from 2022 Bear Market 
$10K would have turned into $240,000!

If you think I'm too optimistic, ask yourself: are you willing to bet $1,000 that the market will not recover?

…yeah I thought so 😉
