Buying the Stock-Market Dip Is Backfiring. Investors Keep Piling In Anyway.

It is the worst year for buying the stock-market dip since the 1930s. Instead of rebounding after a tumble, stocks have continued to fall, denting a strategy that soared in popularity over the past decade.

Lets face it, we are all making educated guesses based on our experience, but what positive catalyst do you see that makes you bullish on the market?

While an R Congress is theoretically positive for the market, I doubt they will have the courage or the votes to freeze spending, much less cut it. And if they did, **** for brains in the WH would veto it.
 
NLY reverse split their stocks, but NOT the dividend yield. Now yields 3.8% instead of 14% for new buyers! Shares down 8.85% for the day.

23 basis point increase on the 10-year yield today. Things could get very ugly fast.

What is your biggest bear market catalyst in play right now? And, is there any back burner catalyst that you think would turn the markets into a route, e.g. China/Taiwan.

Bluntly, I have been so bearish for so long that I keep thinking its time to buy, but even now, I still dont see any catalyst on the upside, UNTIL the Fed slows down or the market believes they will slow down.
 
According to Cramer, Lumber is back down to 2020 levels, but most other commodities are at 10% over 2020 prices. At least we are seeing price drops for goods and commodities. I guess this is the year I redo my flooring....lol
I don't agree it will take 5 years because we still have a relatively strong economy. And although the strong dollar hurts, we do get imports at a cheaper price.

We know that CPI is backward looking. We are starting to see commodity prices dropping. I just paid $3.25 per gallon gas. Prices in Home Despot and Lowes are going down, especially in building materials.
If Powell could take a pause or maybe make a small raise of 25 basis points and wait for another cycle of CPI, then we might get a bounce. Too many good stocks are way oversold. Powell waited too long to raise rates and now he's waiting too long to hold off a record breaking hikes.
He's never been right in a long time. Don't hate, but I would replace him with Janet Yellen.
