The stock market is trading all over the map. After a two year sprint higher, with virtually no downside volatility to speak of, volatility has returned with a vengeance over the last eight weeks and stocks are actually going down (not just straight up). Here are two ways to stay calm when markets are trading all over the map:
&l;strong&g;1. Earnings &a;amp; Economic Outlook&l;/strong&g;
First, look at the macro landscape: how are earnings and the economy performing? Based on the latest data, the answer is good on both fronts. Earnings are projected to grow nicely and so is the economy. John Bartleman, President of TradeStation Group, Inc, told me, &q;The Fed chair, at his March 21 press conference, appeared to see no imminent recession and actually raised his GDP estimate going forward.&q; The Fed looked at the current data: employment numbers, inflation and other relevant indicators, and determined that the economy is relatively stable and will most likely grow faster in 2018 and 2019. So, at this juncture, earnings are strong and we are not headed for a recession anytime soon.
