Should investors be prepared for another sell-off?

US equities (^GSPC, ^DJI, ^IXIC) were hit with a number of financial anomalies including a carry trade, the Sahm rule, and mixed economic data which caused a large sell-off. While the market seems to have begun to rebound, could there be more in store?

Goldman Sachs global chief equity strategist Peter Oppenheimer joins Catalysts to give insight into market movements, giving a historical context for investors to better understand what this recent sell-off means for the market going forward.

"It's not very untypical to have a fall of around 10%. The S&P (^GSPC) was slightly lower than that, actually. It's just that it happened very, very quickly. And I think largely as a function of the carry trade unwind..." Oppenheimer says. "What I would say, though, is that there is still a lot of concentration in markets, particularly in the US and high valuations. So in the next few days it's still going to be very, very dependent, I think on any further data we get on earnings and the macro economy to really, reinforce the stability that we're seeing today."

  • I started my portfolio last year with SCHD, VOO, and VUG after inheriting $300k. In terms of share price, VOO is up! and VUG is doing even better. What stock do you think has the best chance to 10x in 5 years?
  • @angeladeem2988
    I’m mostly in cash and waiting for market to re-level on the reality of our situation. Or are there any ways I can avoid a crunch and maximize my savings of $550k? I know election years are positive for the stock market about 90% of the time. Meanwhile, I'm just focused on making better investments and earning more as recession fear increases
  • The Market have been suffering over the past month, with all the three indexes recording losses in recent weeks. My $400,000 portfolio is down by approximately 20%, any recommendations to scale up my returns before retirement will be highly appreciated.

    I was a stay at Home mom with no money in my IRA or any savings of my own, which was scary at 53 years of age. Three years ago I got a part time job and save everything I make. After 3 years, I am 56 yo and have put $9,000 in an IRA and $40,000 in my portfolio with CFA, Abby Joseph Cohen. Since the goal of getting a job was to invest for retirement and NOT up my lifestyle, I was able to scale this quickly to $150,000. If I can do this in a year, anyone can.

    I wish interviewers wouldn't ask long two-part (or more) questions because the subjects only answer the last part anyway. Take it one at a time please.

    Wait that unemployment chart looks wrong. There was no spike in unemployment in like 2013. And they don’t show the spike in unemployment in 2020.
  • How can we protect ourselves from the anticipated financial reset in 2024? What are the best strategies to make our portfolios resilient against this potential reset? I'm particularly concerned about my $110k stock portfolio.

    Stop shipping chunks of the U.S. dollar to Ukraine and Israel.

    LOL "while markets are unstable". If Japan tries to hike rates ever they're going to get this reaction. What a joke. Do it or don't.
  • @MrZozue
    I want more sell off to buy on the cheap. Buy the dip!
