U.S. Stock Crash Is 'Huge' Opportunity to Cash in: Top Investor

Billionaire investor Ron Baron said Friday that the recent U.S. stock crash could present Americans with a "monstrous" opportunity when looking at the economy from a long-term perspective.

Baron's comments were also echoed by Sylvia Jablonski of Defiance Investments, who said she felt optimistic going into this weekend when compared to last weekend, when it was reported that inflation reached a 40-year high.

"This is a great generational opportunity. This is going to end up being noise when you look back

on it" Jablonski told Squawk Box on Friday.

However, she did caution that the next few months would be difficult for investors who are likely to face range-bound volatility.

"In the short-term, it's painful, it feels terrible, and we have to ride it out," she said.

Should we time the market?

 

Keep Faith

Keep the faith when investing in stocks - this article says.

Soon, things will turn out well again.

But - keep a diversified portfolio. No cryptos, thematic funds, or concentrated portfolios. Although at this juncture, I feel there is nothing wrong with being a concentrate fund. Warren Buffett's portfolio has a huge proportion of Apple shares.

Dollar Cost Averaging

How to best time the markets?

By dollar cost averaging - as it ensures we continually buy the best companies at better prices during a market crash - like now.

This is good if we apply to an ETF - as we immediately remove the unsystemic risk.

And the safest of them all? The S&P 500 - SPY, VOO, etc

Maximum Fear but Warren is buying

Amidst the doom and gloom, Warren Buffett is buying stocks now.

I am buying.

Will you? 

A Huge Reversal in the Nasdaq-100 Is an Ominous Warning Sign

 Just two days ago -- on Monday, May 2 -- tech stocks did something they haven't done since 2008 and, before that, 2001.

It's something tech stocks tend to only do during bear markets and recessions -- a massive intraday reversal off a yearly low. You see, the Nasdaq-100 dropped more than 1% on Monday, hitting a new 52-week low. It then reversed course throughout that same day, closing up more than 1% higher.

Ostensibly, that's bullish. It looked at first like tech stocks would collapse. Instead, they rebounded with vigor.

That seems great, but it's historically been an ominous warning sign for stocks.

The Nasdaq-100 has only posted such huge reversals off yearly lows during the early stages of a bear market. This happened four separate times in early 2001, preceding a crash over the next three, six, and 12 months. Again, it happened multiple times in late 2008, just before stocks crashed into 2009.
