Hey, Ross here:
Welcome to a new trading week.
The situation in the Middle East continued to escalate over the weekend.
And yet, I don’t think there’ll be much impact on the stock market.
We already saw that in this morning’s open.
If you’re surprised – today’s chart shows why you shouldn’t be.
Chart of the Day
This is a comprehensive list of how the S&P 500 performed 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after a major geopolitical event.
We’re talking everything from Pearl Harbor and the Cuban Missile Crisis to the Ukraine war and Brexit.
As you can see, in the vast majority of cases, the stock market was only affected in the near term.
For the cases where the negative effects extended over a much longer period…
You’ll find that they are describing situations where there was a much broader economic crisis in the background – the stagflation of the 1970s, the Dot-Com crash, and the 2008 Global Financial Crisis.
But for everything else, the data shows stocks did just fine after the initial shock.
I believe that’s the most likely scenario for what’s happening now.
Don’t get scared out of the market.
Insight of the Day
The more scared traders are – the more opportunity there is.
Don’t get me wrong…
There are certainly times where fear is warranted…
Where the best move is to exit to cash or even go short.
This is not one of those times.
As the situation escalates, don’t be surprised if we see the market dip as traders get scared out of the market…
Especially with the Fed meeting also happening this week, where Powell is sure to say something that brings markets down.
In this case – their fear is our opportunity.
Every week I go LIVE for an exclusive class to break down what I’m seeing in the markets in real time…
