The Harvard economist Gabriel Chodorow-Reich estimates that with all else equal, a 20% drop in stocks in 2025 might reduce growth by as much as a percentage point this year, advises Lance Roberts, editor of Bull Bear Report.
Are the “Mega Cap” stocks dead? Maybe. But there are four reasons why they could be staged for a comeback. The recent market correction from the July peak certainly got investors’ attention and rattled the more extreme complacency, notes Lance Roberts, editor of Bull Bear Report.
Presidential elections and market corrections have a long history of companionship. Given the rampant rhetoric between the right and left, such is not surprising. Such is particularly the case over the last two presidential elections, where polarizing candidates trumped policies.
