Friday’s February employment data did little to ease investors’ concerns about the economy, as the S&P headed towards its worst week since September 2024. A “stagflation” scenario, one in which inflation stays persistently high and the economy slows or contracts, certainly has investors spooked.
While the on and off tariff announcements create uneasiness, one thing is for sure, uncertainty and volatility are on the rise. Investors are being cautious, but that isn’t always a bad thing. For years, traders have thrown caution to the wind, chased momentum, given in to FOMO, and pushed many stock valuations to untenable heights.
The good news is that uncertainty creates opportunities, but only for those willing to focus on fundamentals.
No one provides more honest and accurate fundamental research than we do. And, we’re here to give you the highlights from another week of our hard work.
