Doom and gloom once again rule the markets, with wars, inflation, high interest rates, corporate scandals, weak earnings, and dozens of other reasons to sell. But investors can always find reasons NOT to buy stocks. Let's put on the rose-colored glasses and look for some positives today, against the backdrop of negativity. There are no guarantees, but buying when 'everyone hates everything' usually works out well for investors, if they have some patience.

There’s not much nice to say about yesterday’s market action…but we are seeing equities attempt to stabilize in the early going today.
