"We're in February. Historically February is... that banana peel type of month... Maybe we're due for a little banana peel slip here. You know, 5% or so." The market is overextended (up 9 months in a row). A 5% tactical correction is healthy and expected. Investors should not panic sell but rather wait for this dip to deploy cash, as the underlying bull market remains intact. WATCH. Wait for the ~5% pullback to initiate new long positions. The "slip" turns into a deeper correction if macro data (CPI) deteriorates significantly. |
