43% May Be About to Miss Out

Many investors will stay entrenched on the sidelines, too nervous to act, looking “so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that [they] do not see the one which has opened for [them].” We need to make sure that isn't us.

[Outsider Club logo] 43% May Be About to Miss Out [Adam English Photo] By [Adam English]( Written May 12, 2022 It should be pretty clear that a whole lot of investors want out of the market. Who can blame them? The NASDAQ is getting slaughtered, the Dow and S&P 500 are down about 12% and 15%, respectively, for the year. Meanwhile a broader view of U.S. stocks using the Russell 2000 shows a drop over 20%. It's brutal out there, and with money flowing out over the last five months, it is easy to understand why 43% of investors say they're too nervous to invest right now, according to Allianz Life's Quarterly Market Perceptions study. But what if now is exactly when they should be diving in? The Income Secret Jeff Bezos Doesn’t Want You to Discover Jeff Bezos is the second-wealthiest man in the world with a net worth of $202 billion. But he didn’t get that rich by himself. There are under-the-radar companies that help Bezos expand his dominance in the retail industry. And they’re paying regular investors like you upward of $48,000 each year. This is a virtually unknown way to collect mammoth-sized payouts courtesy of America's biggest company. Once you're set up, you won't need to do anything again, but this window of opportunity is closing quickly. [Discover how you can start collecting today...]( Investing always requires a stomach for disappointing yourself. You forget the good times and dwell on the bad. Allianz Life's data certainly backs that up: - 65% said given recent market volatility, they wish they had more of their retirement savings protected from market loss - 59% said they are looking to add more protection to their portfolio after the recent market correction - 66% said they wish they could have locked in their gains during recent market highs A whole bunch of people are dragging themselves through the “could've, should've” trap. Alexander Graham Bell once said, “When one door closes, another opens.” Except that is not all he said. He continued, “But we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.” It changes the nature of that tired axiom quite a bit, and plays into another recently released report. New Battery Is Quickly Transforming a $3.3 Trillion Market The "Newton Battery" is ushering in a new era in power storage. Using just gravity, it powers the grid better than any other battery on the market. The Newton Battery is cheaper to produce because it's only made of steel and concrete — and it poses no threat of fire or explosion. In short, it’s THE best solution to the world’s energy storage problem. And it’s a huge opportunity that spells colossal new wealth for early investors. The best part is that the mastermind company behind the Newton Battery just went public... [Be one of the first to see all the details.]( Inflation data just dropped again, showing an 8.3% rise year-over-year for April. It split the difference between March's 8.5% and the projected 8.1% from economists. It also hints at a bit of a pullback, or at least a plateau. Granted it is one near 40-year highs, but it could have major significance for investors. According to a new report from Jim Paulsen of The Leuthold Group, stocks tend to perform really well right after inflation rate peaks. His analysis shows that at lower inflation rates — between 2% and 4% — this effect is muted. Above that, the effect becomes more and more pronounced. Above 8%, when a peak is hit, stocks outperform historical trends for the next year. All of this ties into investor sentiment — think of that 43% mentioned above — more than just about anything else. Most investors simply don't, won't, or functionally can't use forward indicators particularly well. Instead they look at the headline market numbers that are easy to find — the value of the indices and of their portfolios. So while institutional investors run laps around them, they see their accounts declining, and headlines about what the Dow did today with some inevitably wrong, poorly explained reason why. “Inflation fears rise/subside” on a seemingly day-to-day basis. It's not true and it is meaningless noise that only distracts. LEAKED: Apple's Brand-New Invention? Apple CEO Tim Cook says, “It’s the next big thing... and it will pervade our entire lives.”It could replace EVERY device you own. Best of all, it could make you a fortune...WITHOUT having to own a single share of Apple’s stock. [Go here now for the full story.]( Meanwhile meaningful information is hardly shared at all. Did you know car prices are declining? How about shipping issues being resolved and shipping costs sinking? That wage growth is moderating and labor participation rates are rising? That many critical base commodities are seeing price drops and improving inventory, which will moderate producer costs going forward? Of course not — it is nowhere near as “newsworthy” as when these things were going haywire. The April inflation information doesn't confirm a peak in the inflation rate. We'll have to wait for next month's numbers to get a better picture. But we should keep watching for it and not stay in a state of fear until we're well past a market bottom. The stock markets will reward people when that peak occurs, and investors should be looking at how they'll position themselves for the next wave of stock gains right now. Many will stay entrenched on the sidelines, too nervous to act, looking “so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that [they] do not see the one which has opened for [them].” We need to make sure that isn't us.
