Market Down 20%, Fear is Everywhere & President Trump Says a Great Opportunity to Buy

📉💰Currently the S&P 500, down 20.3% from its peak, is sitting on support while the Fear & Green index is at its second day at 2.0, a sign of massive fear. With all that, President Trump told reporters yesterday no Christmas, " So I think it's a tremendous opportunity to buy. Really a great opportunity to buy."  Do you agree?

There is certainly blood in the streets now, especially for the once high flying "FAANG" stocks:

Yesterday on Christmas, President Trump told reporters, " So I think it's a tremendous opportunity to buy. Really a great opportunity to buy."📈💲

We raised a lot of cash when the markets were much higher and other investors were "greedy" and now we have been buying while others are "fearful."  

Is it "The Bottom?"  

Nobody knows for sure but you can see from my long-term S&P 500 chart that the market has corrected 20.3% from its peak all the way down to this very strong support line.

Feb 18, 2019 Update:   President Trump was correct.  It WAS a great time to buy!  I sure did some "Christmas Shopping" and now my Explore Portfolio is at a record high!

I've taken some profits so if we test the lows or even retrace some, I have cash to pick up more bargains.  But if the market continues higher, perhaps to make new record highs, then I'l just keep taking profits!  There is an old saying "Bull and bears make money while pigs get slaughtered."
