This Fear Indicator Just Spiked — Buy Stocks Now!

What a crazy week!

On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged nearly 1,000 points as fears over the U.S.-China trade war escalated.

Afterward, the Dow bounced back, rallying 3% by Friday’s close.

All of this volatility has many investors running scared. But experts Brian Christopher and Ian King recorded a brand-new video explaining why volatility can be a good thing.

In their video, they discuss:

On Monday, one fear indicator spiked to 115 — its highest level since mid-May. From June 3 to July 26, the SPDR S&P 500 exchange-traded fund (NYSE: SPY) returned 9.1%, much to the chagrin of investors who had panic-sold in May. Quote: “As investors, we embrace volatility — we don’t run from volatility. We know that we have a portion of our portfolio that’s in cash that’s just set up for opportunities like this.”
Investors are seeking safe havens for their money and are buying gold, silver … and bitcoin. These alternative assets gain value when the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates, which it just did on July 31. Quote: “In the crypto markets, it really is just bitcoin that has been moving up. The other sort-of ‘alt-coins’ are kind of staying behind.”
Speaking of the Fed, expect several more rate cuts by December. The latest data shows 88% of investors expect an additional 50 basis points of cuts by the end of 2019. And many investors anticipate even steeper cuts than that. Quote: “There is some underlying worry — it’s, like, why are we cutting so deeply, and why do we have to do this? — but the initial response is: blastoff, man! It’s melt-up mode!”
