As you surely know, it has been a tough stretch in the markets recently... The broad market S&P 500 Index is now down more than 9% from its record closing high of 6,144 on February 19. Year to date, the index has lost roughly 5%.

I'm Overall Optimistic on Stocks... But Cautious in the Near Term By Marc Chaikin, founder, Chaikin Analytics As you surely know, it has been a tough stretch in the markets recently... The broad market S&P 500 Index is now down more than 9% from its record closing high of 6,144 on February 19. Year to date, the index has lost roughly 5%. Uncertainty surrounding President Donald Trump's tariff policies and the Department of Government Efficiency ("DOGE") downsizing of the federal workforce has roiled the stock market. And that means extreme volatility. We can see the mood of fear in the market through CNN's Fear & Greed Index. It's a gauge of investor sentiment based on seven indicators. And in its reading earlier this morning, the index stood at 17 out of 100. That marks an "Extreme Fear" level. As the legendary Warren Buffett has famously said, "be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful." But just a week ago, he said during an interview with CBS that tariffs are "an act of war, to some degree"... and that "over time, they're a tax on goods." Meanwhile, Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B) is sitting on a record amount of cash. Those two quotes neatly sum up the stock market's dilemma right now... Recommended Links: WARNING: 'Volatility WILL Stay High in 2025 – Prepare Now' Make no mistake: It's a scary time to be a typical buy-and-hold investor. But if you know what's behind this volatility, there's a unique way you can use it to YOUR advantage. One former $900 million hedge-fund trader says these big swings could help you book bigger gains... quite rapidly... starting immediately. That's because during similar conditions during Trump's first term, this former trader found 17 different ways you could've doubled your money or more – here's how. Magnificent Seven Wipeout: What's Next? The next three months could be very challenging and critically important for anyone with money in the markets. You need a big-picture plan... and you need to take specific actions starting TODAY. Don't get stuck in the "denial" trap so many fall into. Fifty-year Wall Street veteran Marc Chaikin recently published his full big-picture plan, which lays out – based on more than 100 years of data – exactly what you can expect in the markets this year (and in 2026, too). Click here for Marc's critical new update. The Fed's Forecast Reverses and Shows Shrinking GDP We see a deeply oversold market driven by fear and uncertainty over whether the president's agenda will push the economy in a recession and usher in a period of stagflation. And two key economic reports contributed to the recent sharp sell-off... The first was the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta's recent GDPNow forecast for first-quarter GDP growth. In the most dramatic shift on record, this model predicted an annualized drop in GDP of negative 2.8% in the first quarter of 2025. That was down from a forecast of positive GDP growth of 2.3% just one week earlier. Meanwhile, the Institute for Supply Management's ("ISM") Purchasing Managers' Index ("PMI") report also spooked the markets... The ISM Manufacturing PMI fell in February and pointed to slower growth in the manufacturing sector of the U.S. economy. Importantly, it showed demand easing while prices paid were increasing. That's the classic definition of "stagflation." Some commentators are discounting the negative GDP forecast and the increase in prices paid as caused by front-running in February by corporate purchasing managers ahead of the expected tariffs. We'll have to wait and see about that. It's another uncertainty in an extremely uncertain period. For now, the fear and likelihood of stagflation is very real. And that's weighing on stock prices. As regular readers know, my "bull market" scenario for 2025 is based on a strong economy and the past 100 years of election-cycle data that show strong stock market performance in a post-election year. But if stagflation becomes a reality and earnings suffer, I'll adjust my outlook. So I remain "bullish" on the stock market for 2025. But I'm cautious in the near term as stocks seek to bottom out in these uncertain and volatile times.
