Why is it so bad that the stock market is back down to where it was a few months ago?

Obviously if it keeps going down, that’s bad. But it looks like it’s at a support level and still much, much higher than it was 5 years ago. (Using SP500 as a proxy for the market at large)

It’s not. The market is still up something like 10% year to date

The stock market can’t go up in a straight line forever, and a correction like today is preferable to an actual crash in 18 months

Economic data is weakening but also hasn’t crashed and is still growing

It’s time to start being concerned, but not panicking. The fed needs to be on top of this at their next meeting, but things are nowhere near out of control or crashing

People who are pushing a panic narrative probably have another agenda. Keep in mind we’re in an election year
