The Stock Market Just Had 2 of Its Worst Back-to-Back Days in 75 Years. Here's What History Says Happens Next.

Summary

Nutrition label

69% Informative

After "Liberation Day" ( April 2 ), the S&P 500 experienced a whopping 10.5% plunge.

That's the fourth -worst two-day plunge in the past 75 years .

History suggests this is likely a great time for long-term-oriented investors to buy.

But there's also a case against buying today .

The Fed responded to Black Monday , the 2008 Financial Crisis , and the COVID crisis by lowering interest rates.

The Fed even went so far as to cut the Federal Funds rate to zero in 2008 and 2020 .

But today the problem has actually been caused by the government, at least the Executive branch, which is still in the beginning of its four-year term.
