Hey, Ross here:
The current selloff is painful…
But it’s mild compared to the Covid crash and the Global Financial Crisis.
And yet, retail investors don’t think this way.
Chart of the Day
This chart shows the five-week moving average of bearish sentiment as measured by the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) weekly sentiment survey.
For the past five weeks in a row, over 50% of AAII respondents have been bearish on the stock market.
That’s higher than during the Covid Crash and the Global Financial Crisis, where markets fell between 30 – 50% at their worst.
The S&P 500 is currently down less than 10% from its recent high – the Nasdaq less than 15%.
We’re a long way from anything even close to that.
And yet, so many individual investors and traders are running around like the sky is falling.
Make no mistake – the current market is ugly, and an immediate recovery is likely not on the cards.
But when the recovery does happen, it’s going to catch most traders off guard.
All these tariff threats are just a negotiation tactic – once that plays out, the market will come roaring back.
I explain below how to be smart now – while also not missing the recovery.
Insight of the Day
Use the market’s overreaction to your advantage.
The media can’t stop itself from overreacting to Trump’s every move – and he uses that to his advantage.
Similarly, most retail traders can’t stop themselves from overreacting to the market’s every move…
And the smart money uses that to their advantage as well.
They’re not aggressively buying…
But they’re making smaller, more targeted moves in stocks few traders have ever heard of.
That’s where the opportunity is right now.
Keep your positioning conservative…
But follow the smart money so you can still intelligently participate in this market.
The smartest money right now? The corporate insiders.
They know more about what’s going to happen in their own companies than even the best Wall Street analyst…
Meaning if they’re buying in such ugly conditions, they know something we don’t…
Likely an upcoming catalyst that could allow their company stock to surge despite the ugly market.
We can follow them straight into those stocks.
That’s why later this morning at 11 a.m. Eastern…
I’m going LIVE for a broadcast that will show you exactly how to detect the highest-potential insider setups…
So you can make the smartest moves before the recovery starts.
