Stock market volatility has been elevated since late 2021. Being among the stock investors who’ve gone through the market’s ups and downs, I can remember how things started.
It was the day after Thanksgiving. Tech stocks began to dive hard, with many of the stocks I tracked declining double digits in a single day.
From that moment, tech stocks and the broader S&P500 index started to go down. The Nasdaq bottomed about a year later, on December 28, more than 35% off the record high.
