How to buy great companies at an incredible discount

Access Stock Advisor for as low as $49/year --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [View this email in your browser]( [The Motley Fool] --------------------------------------------------------------- Motley Fool Tip: We know the ups and downs of the stock market during volatile times like these can be nerve-wracking. So here's what we're telling our members (and the world) right now: don't panic, don't sell. Investing is a long-term game, and we believe this, too, shall pass. --------------------------------------------------------------- Well, I guess it goes without saying, this past week has been one of the wildest weeks in my years at The Motley Fool. Fed announced 0% interest rates on March 15th. The Dow dropped as much as 12% on March 16th. The S&P is down over 20% in the month of March. The global economy is teetering on the edge. I don't blame you if you're tired or worried. And if you flip on any channel, the panic and uncertainty is palpable. But I honestly don't view things like that. In fact, I think this might be the greatest investing opportunity this decade. Let me explain. The last time markets were this uncertain was the peak of the housing crisis, way back in 2008. And for me, I look back to what the greatest investor of the world said at that time. "A simple rule dictates my buying: Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful." — Warren Buffett I'm sure you've heard this quote before, from Buffett's op-ed in The New York Times. I mean, we have it painted on our conference room wall here at Fool HQ! But what you might not remember is Buffett's prediction later on in that piece: "...most major companies will be setting new profit records 5, 10 and 20 years from now." And sure enough, he was right. Of the ten largest publicly traded companies, eight reached their all-time highs in the past six months! So while the financial media is ringing the bell, warning of a dip in the market... I like to think of it as a flash sale in the market! Now could be a perfect time to invest in great companies at a discount! Which is why The Motley Fool is offering access to our flagship service Stock Advisor for as low as $49/year. [ACCESS THE MOTLEY FOOL MARKET OPPORTUNITY FLASH SALE NOW]( This could be the biggest sale in the market since 2008.

[Join Stock Advisor for as low as $49/year]( So while we don't know what today, or tomorrow, or two weeks from now will bring, maybe we can remember Buffett's wise words from 2008: "...most major companies will be setting new profit records 5, 10 and 20 years from now."
