I'm going to show you how I instantly improve my fundamentals if I know nothing about fundamentals. If you remember, April 2nd was Liberation Day. This is where Trump announced the tariffs. We tanked on Liberation Day and we dropped to this level. I pulled up the chart here and I took a look at something. Where did we drop? This was the top of the bull market after Covid. This was Covid. This was the top of the bull market. This right here was the 2022 bear market. This is the top of the 2020 bull market. So I was like, wait, is this a freaking trend? Now we talk about confluence. The bottom of the bear market to the top market, 0.5. The bottom of the bear market to the top of the bull market, 0.5. How do we get better at fundamentals? How many times has the s and P500 dropped by 19% or more, but just stopped short of closing? Minus 20% or more, it turns out. 2018, 19.8. 2011, 19.4. 1998, 19.3. What was the performance of the S&P500 after those four events? 1990, 28% up. 1998, 40. 2011, 30% thereafter. 2018, 37% after. You have your fundamental confluence, you have your technical confluence. How do you not take a trade? Would you be more stupid to see this and not take it, or to see this and take it?
