Of course, there’s nothing even vaguely normal about a day when a stock falls 43% and takes much of the market with it.Snap’s (SNAP) plunge did take some surprising candidates along for the ride. Tesla (TSLA) dropped 6.93% on yet more bad news on production in its Shanghai factory. Disney (DIS) fell 4.01% just because. SentinelOne (S) was lower by 8.11% since everyone knows that cybersecurity stocks are just a fad.
But on balance, on the green side (and yes, there was a green side to the market) the market did what markets are supposed to do in the face of bad news and an increase in fear.

This week’s Quick Pick is a utilities ETF, XLU. Utilities are a good place to turn to for the next few months before we hit a full recession slowdown. This ETF has a lot going for it, including a strong upward trend, a low expense ratio, and a good yield. As utility companies continue to invest in capacity, they are allowed to increase their rate base, which means revenue will keep going up. I own this ETF in my Perfect 5 ETF Portfolio on JubakAM.com, where it’s been up 43% since 2018.

As I outlined in my recent special report "Five Places to Hide from a Downturn--and Still Make Some Money" on my JubakAssetManagemnt.com site, Â I think worry over the added downside potential for stocks created by everything from the tariff war, to higher interest...

If you were to ask me today to characterize the U.S. stock market, I'd ask "Over what time period?" It matters and it matters intensely. In the long-ish run--say over the next two to three years--I think we're headed toward a credit crunch and a Minsky Moment where...
