In the next 15 days, the stock market could experience a 30% crash due to a potential US fault, or it might rally 10% if the US raises the debt ceiling limit. Over the next 30 days, the US may face a possible recession or manage to avoid it altogether. In the next 45 days, we may discover that inflation is stickier than anticipated, leading the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates instead of cutting them, potentially causing the stock market to crash or the US to fall into a recession.
The main point is that predicting what will happen in the next 30 to 60 days regarding inflation, recession, and the US debt ceiling is uncertain. Since the stock market reflects the state of the economy, it's impossible to accurately forecast its near-term performance. This uncertainty is what makes the stock market attractive for higher potential returns but also entails higher risk. However, taking risks doesn't mean we must be reckless with our investments. Instead, it requires us to be prudent and address potential risks in our portfolios.
While there may be concerns about a US default, recession, or higher inflation, there are steps you can take to mitigate these risks in your portfolio. It's important to note that we have faced similar risks in the past, such as 50 years ago when we dealt with a prolonged period of inflation. Despite these challenges, the market has historically rewarded investors over the long term.
Therefore, investing in the stock market shouldn't be done blindly. It requires a careful and informed approach. While the market poses short-term risks, it is designed to reward investors over the long term. However, it's crucial to be aware of ways to manage and mitigate near-term risks, ensuring peace of mind.
