Nasdaq Bear Market: 3 Unstoppable Stocks You Can Buy With $300 Right Now
A small amount of money can go a long way when it's invested in industry leaders with well-defined catalysts.
Over the previous seven trading sessions -- i.e., since President Donald Trump announced his "Liberation Day" tariffs -- Wall Street has experienced some of the wildest volatility since the COVID-19 crash in February-March 2020.
On April 9, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) all logged their largest single-session point gains in their storied histories. This was followed by the Nasdaq's fifth-largest single-day point decline on April 10. In fact, three of the Nasdaq's five largest point declines since its inception have occurred within the span of one week (April 3, April 4, and April 10).
More importantly, this whipsaw on Wall Street, which is the result of tariff/trade uncertainty and the historic priciness of stocks, has pushed the growth-oriented Nasdaq Composite into a bear market. Though the index sits 18.8% below its all-time closing high, as of this writing after the closing bell on April 10, just two days earlier the Nasdaq was 24.3% below its record close. The line-in-the-sand qualifier for bear markets is a drop of 20%.
