Trending Now from Jeff Brown: Do this Before Elon’s Reveal on January 22nd
Market volatility remains a significant concern for investors.
Recent years have seen heightened tensions around technology companies, particularly in the semiconductor sector, amid ongoing U.S.-China trade relations under the Biden Administration. The administration has already implemented significant restrictions on semiconductor exports to China through policies like the CHIPS Act and various Commerce Department regulations, impacting major American chip manufacturers.
The technology sector continues to experience periodic volatility, particularly among artificial intelligence-related stocks, which can create ripple effects across major indices like the Dow and NASDAQ. These fluctuations often reflect broader market dynamics including shifting investor sentiment, geopolitical tensions, and evolving regulatory landscapes.
However, market volatility shouldn’t drive investors to abandon their long-term investment strategies.
Tip No. 1 – Have Discipline
When markets fall apart, we tend to get a bit emotional. Logic goes right out the window. Discipline means holding on to good stocks, even if they move lower. It also means avoiding the desire to make speculative, risky bets hoping to break even.
We have to remember that markets are resilient. They don’t stay down for long.
Also, be willing to see out the “blood in the streets” trades.
When markets crash, investors are typically presented with outstanding buy opportunities in oversold stocks that no one else wants to touch.
In short, remain calm and focused. Don’t sell out of panic. Just sit tight.
Tip No. 2 – Consider Buying Precious Metals
When markets turn south, investors typically flock to precious metals like gold and silver. Therefore, it’s always wise to keep a small percentage of your portfolio in precious metals as a hedge for a potential market meltdown.
We can buy an ETF like the SPDR Gold ETF (GLD) for example as a hedged bet.
Given the fact that precious metals act as a great form of insurance against global chaos and stock market meltdowns, it’s one of the safer tools. Gold, for example, will increase in price in response to any number of potential events; a crash the outbreak of war; pandemics; major uncertainty; interest rates; money “printing;” a decrease in the value of the dollar.
Tip No. 3 –Diversify for Volatility
With volatility, investors can diversify with:
ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (UVXY) — The ETF was designed to match two times (2x) the daily performance of the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Index.
iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures (VXX) — The VXX ETN provides exposure to the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Index.
ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (VIXY) — ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF provides long exposure to the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Index, which measures the returns of a portfolio of monthly VIX futures contracts with a weighted average of one month to expiration.
