The short-term performance of stock markets can vary based on a range of factors, including economic conditions, corporate earnings, monetary policies, and geopolitical events. Investing should always be looked at long term, whether it is an investment in Real Estate, a Business, or the Stock Market. The current year-to-date return for the NASDAQ 100 Index is 31.67% as of June 7th, 2023, and the S&P 500 total years-to-date returns are 11.59% as of June 7th, 2023. Most of the gains in markets were driven by mega market cap technology companies. It would be very unusual for the stock market to go back to the low or bottom we saw in 2022 after recovering to date. The S&P 500 broke a 12-month negative streak in April 2023. It is not typical for negative returns to persist so long; considering historical records, the market’s historical stats have shown to push forward into a bull run for a good 8-10 years after a downturn in the markets, as we experienced in 2022. Considering these facts, it is an excellent time to invest as there is a lot more clarity on the trajectory of where the markets are headed with a positive outlook.
