- Stock prices have declined, with the S&P 500 down nearly 6% and the Nasdaq Composite down around 9%.
- Selling during a market dip is risky due to uncertainty about future market movements.
- Historical data shows bear markets average nine months, while bull markets average nearly three years.
- High-quality stocks with strong fundamentals are more resilient during economic downturns.
- Maintaining a long-term investment perspective can help mitigate the impact of market volatility.
