The Markets Have Crashed, but Some Stocks Are Attractive Now

The Markets Have Crashed, but Some Stocks Are Attractive Now

The bull market has lasted nine and a half years, but 2018 has seen three big market crashes, and the current one is the biggest. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index has plummeted 9% in October, and the broader S&P 500 index (SPY) has fallen 6.4% as of October 11. Technology stocks have been the biggest gainers during the bull market, and investors now seem to be booking profits.
