The VIX (Wall Street’s fear index) topped out at 57 as I write this on 4/9/25. Which for perspective, 15 is a normal level. In 2020, the VIX topped out at 66, and in 2008 it topped out at 88! So, this means there is a lot of fear in the markets.
We just wrapped up our Q1 reviews, and our clients are also in that camp feeling uncertainty. However, the market rallied today (4/9/25) with the S&P 500 gaining 8.5%!
This is just a friendly reminder that you never want to bail on your strategy during periods of volatility.
We’ll break down the VIX, we’ll also talk about the winners and losers in the market from the first quarter.
I’ll share some questions that are on my mind related to economic uncertainty.
And finally, I’ll talk about 4 tactical strategies for you to implement during this time of market volatility.
I hope you find it helpful!
