Market is Surging. Are You Getting Left Behind?

Bears Lost $120 Billion So Far... ----------------------------------------------------------------- [The Motley Fool] Is the market surge costing you real money? For over three years, the precarious position of the US stock market and the global economy has left many investors at a loss - both metaphorically and fiscally. Pandemics, pandemic responses, global unrest, inflation, and myriad other issues have severely hampered what once was a booming and profitable investing era. In these more uncertain times, speculators and hedge fund managers managed risk by placing bearish wagers on stagnating stocks and lackluster earnings reports. These short amounts topped $1 trillion in June 2023! And, a lot of the time, they succeeded, while the bulls were left in the cold, wondering when the turnaround would reward their optimism and loyalty. Now recent uptick in the markets may have changed the game. Tech stocks have jumped up sharply, and companies like Tesla and NVDA have seen share prices skyrocket on renewed confidence in the market. Reductions in inflation and a steady job market have reinvigorated investor sentiment and people are taking notice. The bulls are pouncing as if their time has come, with a rapid turnaround throughout May and June has breathed in signs of life and the most positive returns in over 14 months. NVDA is up 189% this year. Tesla is up 117%. Netflix is up 45%, minting bullish investors who stuck with them a pretty penny. And…these very real gains are now costing the bears real dollars - over $120 billion to be exact! So while we would absolutely never tell you to time the market, this opportunity might be the exact thing you need to resuscitate your investing approach. If you’ve been sitting on the sideline, biding your time, or even staying put in your long-term portfolio, this could be the time millions of investors have been waiting for. Because sitting on the sideline or taking your money out of the market could prove fatal to your investing goals. A recent study from Putnam Investments found that investors who stayed fully invested in the market from 2007 to 2022 made almost $20k MORE than someone who just happened to miss the 10 best days in the market… So don’t let this recent market surge cost you money and missed opportunities.
