🐻How to Trade as the Nasdaq Goes Bearish🐻

Good morning. Even with yesterday’s rally, the Nasdaq is now down over 20 percent since the start... It’s the monthly jobs numbers today and they’re not going to be pretty and will be possibly the tip of the iceberg as we head into May. [Trading Tips] Good morning. Even with yesterday’s rally, the Nasdaq is now down over 20 percent since the start of the year. That means we’ve gone from a run-of-the-mill correction into a full-blown bear market. Those are much more unusual. And for it to happen so soon into the Federal Reserve hiking interest rates suggests that there may be more downside pain ahead. The past few months have seen the markets try to move higher, only to be hit with negative news regarding higher interest rates, higher inflation rates, or geopolitical events. The good news is that all of those will resolve themselves in time. For traders, it would be prudent to watch for those developments. Until then, taking on a more bearish attitude may pay off better. On the buy side, focus on higher-quality companies. And don’t be afraid to do things like sell covered calls against stock you own for the long haul here.
