A Lump of Coal for Investors There’s no sugarcoating this. It’s been a rough year for investors, the worst since the financial crises of 2008. Inflation has ravaged, rates have surged, stocks have plunged.
As I write, the S&P 500 has shed nearly 20% and the Nasdaq is down 33%, with both indexes falling into a bear market. Apple, the most successful company of the 21st century, slid to a 52-week low on Wednesday, a 30% drop from the highs this year. Amazon is down 50% YTD. Meta down 64%. And don’t even get me started on Tesla.
