I wouldn't guess that we had much further to go on the downside here. We've dropped off heavy for various reasons but I think those reasons are getting fairly well priced in. The market will eventually get back to looking at earnings.
That is to say if the Fed & Biden Admin. don't **** things up.
This is how I see things playing out for the near term...
Market corrects or in the minds of some, crashes...
People see their 401k go down
Spending on going out stops
Spending on frivolous wants stops
Overspending on housing stops
Generally speaking, spending starts to cool off
That should hopefully get some of this inflation in check.
The Fed needs to stop buying bonds.
The Fed needs to raise rates effectively but carefully. (Good luck)
The Biden Admin. needs to quit trying to dump trillions of $'s into an economy that already has an excessive amount of demand and excessive shortage of supply.
If things worked out we would go the Reagan route of raise rates, cut taxes.
