The Stock Market Is "Plunging": 3 Investments That Can Thrive
In case you haven't noticed, our old friend volatility is back again. Through the first six trading days of October, a historically volatile month for the stock market, the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) has delivered single-day points declines (when rounded) of 36, 53, and 46.
For those investors fixated on point values rather than percentages, the start of October has all the making of a stock market "plunge." The S&P 500 has shed an aggregate of 83 points in a six-day span, and it's nearly 115 points lower than where the index closed in mid-September. Concerns about weak manufacturing data, the persistent trade war between the U.S. and China, and the inverted yield curve, have some folks talking about the dreaded "R" word... recession.
