Addressing the Big Question on Investors' Minds By Marc Chaikin, founder, Chaikin Analytics Folks, the cracks in the economy are growing... And we've just experienced a dramatic correction. At its lowest point earlier this month, the S&P 500 Index fell 10% from its peak in February. It's still down roughly 9% from that February high. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index is looking rough, too. It's down about 14% from its mid-December peak. The pullback isn't surprising. Global trade tensions are at their highest level in decades. America is in the midst of a major policy realignment. Tariffs, where inflation is headed, government services... just about everything you can imagine is up in the air right now. On top of that, we're starting to see real consumer strain. And it's not just the terrible sentiment I'm talking about... As Walmart (WMT) CEO Doug McMillon recently said regarding his company's customers...   You can see that the money runs out before the month is gone. You can see that people are buying smaller pack sizes at the end of the month. Yet at the same time, we're seeing major technology advancements hit the market. I've said it many times before, and I'll say it again... AI is more than a party trick. Companies are rapidly adopting the new technology. Sure, some of them aren't getting it right. But many are. So it's no wonder that this is a challenging investing landscape. And I know firsthand that many investors are wondering exactly when the bull market will end... Recommended Links: Notice for March 31 (Today) Fifty-year Wall Street legend Marc Chaikin called the 2020 crash and 2022 bear market. Now he says what's happening today – Monday, March 31 – could decide your next DECADE of investment performance. It has to do with the start of the second quarter... and the violent market shift he sees coming over the next 90 days. Here's why today could be the most important day for your money in all of 2025. Warning: 'DOGE Collapse' Imminent After months of cost cutting, controversy, and media buzz, DOGE is on the brink of a shocking collapse – with dramatic implications for the stock market. Today, we're sharing what we think will happen next in a viral new presentation. More than 1.5 million people have now seen it. Click here to see what we're predicting now. Last Thursday, I addressed exactly that. During a special on-camera presentation, I sat down with my colleague Pete Carmasino – the chief market strategist here at Chaikin Analytics. We talked about where we see the market heading. And we discussed what we think investors should do to prepare. Attendance for the event was huge. Thousands of folks tuned in. It's obvious that people are looking for answers right now. That's why I made sure I gave a critical update on my recent crash prediction and answered the No. 1 question I've heard in recent weeks...   Is a crash about to hit – or has it somewhat already begun? Some viewers thought my response was controversial. But the evidence is clear. Pete and I also explained that when the market changes, our investment strategy must change with it. And it might surprise you, but I also detailed how we're changing the way we use our one-of-a-kind Power Gauge system. Now, I know this is a bit of a tease. But this message deserves a full explanation. And, marketing aside, I want to make sure that every reader gets the full story. So I've extended access to the presentation. It's still available to view here. It's free to all Chaikin Analytics readers. And in it, Pete and I even give away the names of two stocks that we believe are still actionable today. I appreciate you making me a part of your investing journey. I know that the market is turbulent right now. And times like these make it more important than ever to have a plan. We can use the Power Gauge, along with a specific strategy, to help guide us through this challenging environment. And I'm looking forward to sharing the details of that with you. Again, you can watch the free broadcast from Pete and me about it all right here.
