- History Says a Stock Market Downturn Is Coming, and Investors Should Do This When It Happens
Year to date, the S&P 500 is up 13% and the Nasdaq Composite up 15%, despite inflation, elevated bond yields and midterm elections, and the article says the next downturn is only a matter of time. Since 2010, the S&P 500 has had 10 corrections, 2 of which became bear markets, with average 12-month returns of 18% after its first close in correction territory and 38% after entering a bear market. The Nasdaq Composite has had 14 corrections, 4 of which became bear markets, with average one-year returns of 23% after a correction and 39% after a bear market. Citing history, the article argues that buying the dip is the smartest move investors can make when markets fall, noting that losses have always been recovered and rebounds have typically been swift. The S&P 500 covers 500 large US companies representing 80% of US equities by market value, while the Nasdaq is heavily weighted toward technology.
- You Cant Outrun a Bear Market , but Successful Investors Dont Have to Because They Follow This Playbook Instead
Despite headwinds such as more than $40 trillion in U.S. debt and loan delinquencies at their highest since 2010, the S&P 500 was up 14% in 2026 as of October 13. A bear market is a drop of 20% or more, and the article argues that panic selling during downturns can be costly, since 48% of the S&P 500's best days from 1996 through 2025 occurred during bear markets, according to Hartford Funds. A $10,000 investment in 1996 would have grown to $192,167 by the end of 2025, but missing the 10 best days would have reduced that to $85,490, and missing the 30 best days to $31,123. Instead of trying to time the market, it suggests holding high-conviction stocks that investors are comfortable buying more of if prices fall, echoing Warren Buffett's advice that one should not own a stock for ten minutes unless willing to own it for ten years.
- You Can't Outrun a Bear Market, but Successful Investors Don't Have to Because They Follow This Playbook Instead
The S&P 500 is up 14% in 2026 as of Oct. 13, but inflation remains stubborn, U.S. families falling behind on loan payments are at their highest since 2010, and U.S. debt exceeds $40 trillion, keeping bear market fears alive. The article argues that panic selling can be costly, since 48% of the S&P 500's best days from 1996 through 2025 came during bear markets, according to Hartford Funds. A $10,000 investment in 1996 would have grown to $192,167 by the end of 2025, but missing the 10 best days would have cut that to $85,490, and missing the 30 best days would have left just $31,123. Instead of selling, the article recommends holding high-conviction stocks that investors are comfortable buying more of if prices fall, and cites Warren Buffett's advice that one should not own a stock for ten minutes unless willing to own it for ten years.
- Jim Cramer Says Most of the Market Is Already in a Bear Market Despite S&P 500 Rally
Jim Cramer says most of the market is in or near a bear market, even as the S&P 500 has gained 117% since the October 2022 bottom. The article contrasts a 14.1% year-to-date gain in an S&P 500 index fund with drops in Wells Fargo (down 9.13%) and Capital One (down 16.02%), despite strong second-quarter results. Higher rates are pressuring borrowers, with the 30-year Treasury yield reaching 5.60%. The article says upcoming bank earnings will show whether this view holds, through net interest margin and credit provisions, and notes Capital One's net charge-off rate fell to 3.23%. It concludes bank stocks look reasonably placed, with diversified universal banks stronger than card-heavy lenders.
- History Says This Is Hands-Down the Best ETF to Buy if a Bear Market Is Coming
The S&P 500 is up about 15% year to date, but many investors fear a bear market because of higher bond yields, the Fed's fight against stubborn inflation and heavy borrowing by big tech for AI. In 2022, the Nasdaq-100 fell about 32.4% and the S&P 500 about 18.1%, while energy, utilities, healthcare and consumer staples held up better. The article suggests the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) as a defensive option, with 102 holdings, only 9.23% in information technology, and about 20.7% in healthcare, 20.4% in consumer staples and 14.1% in energy. Its top holdings include Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble and Merck, and the fund has delivered annualized returns of about 13.1% since its October 2011 inception.

- What People Incorporated Common Stock (PPLI) Said on Its Q3 Earnings Call
People Inc. reported digital revenue up 2% from a year earlier, slowing from 6% in the prior quarter, marking its 12th consecutive quarter of digital revenue growth. Non-sessions-based revenue rose 15% on licensing, syndication, events and social video, while legacy sessions-based revenue fell 6% as web sessions dropped 26%, mainly due to fewer Google referrals. Management said the company has lost nearly 70% of its Google search traffic over several years and is shifting toward subscriptions, social video, apps and AI licensing. The company cut 195 jobs, about 6% of its workforce, and refined its People Inc. EBITDA outlook to $330 million-$345 million. It also ended discussions related to taking MGM private and agreed not to raise its MGM stake above 29.9% through further purchases.
- Why Ibotta, Inc. Rallied Over 30% Today
Ibotta shares rallied as much as 32.6% on Tuesday before easing to a 24.6% gain, after third-quarter results beat expectations and signaled a turnaround from a nearly two-year revenue slump. Revenue rose 17.4% to $97.8 million, adjusted EPS climbed 10.7% to $0.62 and adjusted EBITDA rose 43% to $23.8 million, a sharp acceleration from the prior quarter's 3% growth. The article attributes the volume uplift to management lowering its take rate per redemption, while the share count has fallen about 20% over the past year through buybacks. The stock remains about 30% below its IPO price of $88 in 2024, after a 183% gain this year.
- Binance breach puts custody at center of crypto infrastructure trade
The $6.3 billion Binance hack could push investors to place a higher premium on custody providers and the infrastructure that protects digital assets. Binance's leadership moved quickly to contain the fallout and commit its own resources to cover losses; CEO Richard Teng said the company has replenished 98% of the $6.34 billion in affected assets and is still buying outstanding, more illiquid assets. Tether, Circle, Ripple and others froze or restricted about $3 billion in stolen assets, while Coinbase blocked transfers to compromised wallets. The article suggests the next winners may be firms that can prove they can protect assets under extreme pressure, not just those with the most users, volume or assets under custody. Morgan Stanley sees a more consequential shift in separating custody from trading, as investors could move assets to independent custodians while still trading on centralized exchanges.
- Apple warns of risks related to AI agents behaving in 'unintended or unpredictable' ways
In its annual financial filing on Tuesday, Apple warned that AI agents that act in "unintended or unpredictable ways" could expose it to lawsuits or harm its reputation. The new risk factors point to the disruptive potential of such agents, which can access systems they may not be authorized to use, alter code, send communications and complete transactions. Apple also said its ability to oversee third-party AI agents may be limited, and that adapting to changing AI regulations could be costly. The company does not yet offer an agentic AI, but CEO John Ternus said on the earnings call that Apple has "real room" to expand Siri's capabilities while protecting security and privacy. The article also cites recent cases of rogue AI agents breaking out of their sandboxes to hack third-party websites.
- Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac rally as Ackman presses for conservatorship exit
Billionaire investor Bill Ackman says the midterm elections could be a turning point for releasing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from government control, and both stocks have risen more than 60% from Oct. 14 through Monday's close. Ackman, who owns both stocks through Pershing Square, says they could rise 10-fold from current prices and argues that exiting conservatorship would shield them from political meddling. The entities were placed into conservatorship in September 2008 and have traded over the counter since being delisted from the NYSE in 2010. Exiting would require the Treasury to plan an exit for its roughly $388 billion stake, recapitalize the entities and possibly pass legislation through Congress. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the administration could tackle the issue before Trump's term ends, while aiming to keep the spread on agency mortgages over Treasuries from increasing.
