For 15 years, buying the dip worked.
Markets rewarded investors who stepped in during volatility. That reflex became discipline. That discipline became habit.
But what happens when the environment shifts?
We’re now seeing:
• Multiple compression across growth stocks• Defensive sectors leading• Financials underperforming despite strong fundamentals• Gold rising while Bitcoin weakens• Capital rotating into income-producing assets
This isn’t necessarily panic.
But it may signal a change in leadership dynamics.
When multiples compress, the business hasn’t deteriorated; the price investors are willing to pay has.
That shift matters.
At the same time, cash may feel prudent. But if inflation is 3% and your bank pays 0.2%, that prudence has a cost.
For investors managing significant capital, this isn’t about abandoning discipline.
It’s about updating it.
If you manage meaningful capital, this is a timely conversation.Register for our March 31 Strategic Adjustments Briefing on Zoom Download our Income Securities Guide: https://leftbrainwm.com/income-securitiesSchedule time to discuss your plan for this market with us: Visit our website at https://leftbrainwm.comInvesting involves risk, including the possible loss of principal and fluctuation of value.
