Stocks Keep Falling: Should You Keep Buying?
After early 2020's steep market crash, stocks not only recovered and gained for the year, they also started 2021 out with a bang. The S&P 500 climbed 67% from its low point in March through the end of December. Then the index marched another 12% higher from the start of this year through May 7.
Then came a dip that many saw as a buying opportunity. But the declines kept coming, and worries about the possibility of a market crash grew. The S&P 500 lost as much as 4% in about three days. Popular stocks such as Disney, Netflix, and PayPal are down since the start of the month.
With that as the backdrop, the big question on many investors' minds is: Should I keep buying stocks right now?
