The S&P 500 Has Reached an All-Time High: Should You Invest Now or Wait for a Correction?
Key Points Market indexes have been reaching new heights, and right now is an incredibly expensive time to buy. Some investors are worried a correction or recession may be looming, making it smarter to wait. However, history suggests that there's never necessarily a bad time to invest. 10 stocks we like better than S&P 500 Index › The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) has been breaking records over the last few weeks, officially reaching a new all-time high in July. As of this writing on Aug. 1, it's up by about 25% from its low point in April. However, not everyone is optimistic about the market right now. In fact, one-third of U.S. investors say they are feeling "bearish" about where stocks will be in the next six months, according to the most recent weekly survey from the American Association of Individual Investors. With stock prices near record-breaking highs, some investors may be tempted to wait until the next downturn to buy at a discount. Here's what history says about whether you should buy now or hold off. Is it safe to invest now? Nobody can predict where stocks will be a few months or a year from now, and new policies out of Washington could change things on a dime. However, several scenarios are possible. For one, stock prices could continue soaring like they have over the past few months. If that happens, right now would be a fantastic time to buy to see immediate gains. Scenario two is that the market takes a sharp turn for the worse, like it did earlier this year amid tariff uncertainty. Between February and April, the S&P 500 fell by close to 20%, leaving many investors panicked and eager to sell. But those who stayed the course and held their investments reaped the rewards when the market quickly rebounded. A similar situation played out in March 2020, when the S&P 500 experienced one of the fastest crashes in history at the start of the pandemic. The short term was rough, but the S&P 500 has since earned total returns of nearly 112%. The third scenario may be the one that concerns investors the most: a prolonged recession. But even if that is on the horizon, investing at record-high prices doesn't necessarily mean you'll lose money. A market downturn may result in your portfolio losing value. But if you hold your investments until the rebound without selling, you likely won't experience any actual losses. Say, for example, you invested in an S&P 500 index fund in December 2007. The market was reaching record highs at the time, but it was about to slip into the Great Recession, which would last until 2009. In that time, your investment would have plunged by more than 50%. Selling at any point during that recession could have locked in significant losses, since you would have likely been selling your investments for far less than what you paid for them. However, if you simply stayed in the market, you would have earned total returns of around 75% after 10 years and 312% by today -- more than quadrupling your money. In other words, even if you had invested at the seemingly worst possible moment -- at record-high prices immediately before one of the most severe recessions in U.S. history -- you would still have made a significant amount of money over time. Now, could you have earned more if you had waited until the market was at its lowest point to buy? Definitely. But hindsight is 20/20, and nobody knows when the next correction or bear market will begin. Timing the market accurately is next to impossible, and if your timing is even slightly off, you could potentially lose a lot of money. Rather than waiting for a chance to "buy the dip," it's often wiser to invest consistently. You can always increase the amount you invest during the next slump, when stocks are at a discount. But in the meantime, continuing to buy can ensure you're not missing out on immediate gains if stock prices stay on the rise. One major caveat to remember The key to ensuring your portfolio survives a downturn is to only invest in long-term quality stocks. Sometimes weak companies can thrive in the short term, earning exponential growth in a matter of months. But those investments are far less likely to pull through tough economic times. Healthy companies with strong business foundations have a much better chance of seeing long-term growth despite short-term hiccups. When a company has a solid competitive advantage, a competent leadership team, robust financials, and a long-term plan for the future, it's much more likely to survive even the worst recessions or bear markets. The most important thing you can do right now, then, is double-check that every stock in your portfolio deserves to be there. Once you're certain that all of your investments have healthy fundamentals, you can rest easier knowing that you're well prepared for whatever may lie ahead.

Trump's Former Jobs Data Chief Decries Firing of Successor
(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump's firing of the chief labor statistician was criticized by her predecessor, who called it an unfounded move that will undermine confidence in a key data set on the US economy. We Should All Be Biking Along the Beach Seeking Relief From Heat and Smog, Cities Follow the Wind Chicago Curbs Hiring, Travel to Tackle $1 Billion Budget Hole NYC Mayor Adams Gives Bally's Bronx Casino Plan a Second Chance 'This is damaging,' William Beach, whom Trump picked in his first term to head the Bureau of Labor Statistics, said on CNN's State of the Union on Sunday. Trump on Friday fired Erika McEntarfer hours after labor market data showed weak jobs growth based in part on steep downward revisions for May and June. The move by Trump, who claimed the latest monthly report was 'phony,' prompted an outcry from economists and lawmakers. 'I don't know that there's any grounds at all for this firing,' said Beach, whom McEntarfer replaced in January 2024. 'And it really hurts the statistical system. It undermines credibility in BLS.' Studies indicate that the agency's data is more accurate than 20 or 30 years ago, including any revisions of the initial data, Beach said. Even so, he said he'll trust future BLS data because people working for the agency are 'some of the most loyal Americans you can imagine,' making the bureau 'the finest statistical agency in the entire world.' Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan, speaking Sunday on CBS's Face the Nation, urged the US government to improve its data collection to avoid revisions that engender distrust. 'We watch what consumers really do. We watch what businesses really do,' Moynihan said, while not addressing the politics of the firing. 'They can get this data, I think, other ways, and I think that's where the focus would be.' He noted the revision for May and June data, while not unusual, was one of the largest in seven years. 'That creates doubt around it,' he said. 'Let's spend some money. Let's bring the information together. Let's find where else in the government money is reported.' McEntarfer was confirmed by the Senate in a bipartisan 86-8 vote. Vice President JD Vance, then a senator, voted to approve her nomination. Kevin Hassett, Trump's chief economic adviser at the White House, alleged that the large jobs data revisions were poorly explained and were evidence enough for a 'fresh set of eyes' at BLS. He sought to contradict Beach's portrayal of the agency as politically neutral. 'The bottom line is that there were people involved in creating these numbers,' Hassett said on NBC's Meet the Press. Pressed on whether Trump would fire anyone offering data he disagreed with, Hassett, who heads the National Economic Council, disagreed. 'No, absolutely not,' he said. 'The president wants his own people there so that when we see the numbers, they're more transparent and more reliable.' (Updates with Moynihan comments beginning in sixth paragraph.)

What To Expect On Interest Rates For The Remainder Of 2025
Fixed income markets see two or three interest rate cuts coming from the Federal Open Market Committee over the three remaining scheduled meetings of 2025. Soft jobs growth as reported for July and downward revisions to prior month's reports may call for incrementally lower interest rates. However, there is more economic data to come before the FOMC's next meeting to set interest rates on September 17. The Fed's Remaining Meeting Schedule Having held interest rates steady at 4.25% to 4.5% for the first five meetings of 2025, the FOMC has three scheduled meetings left. Interest rate decisions from these meetings will be announced on September 17, October 29 and December 10. The September and December meetings will also include an update to the FOMC's Summary of Economic Projections, where policymakers provide forecasts for economic variables including interest rates. The Fed Chair, Jerome Powell, will hold a press conference after each meeting. Powell is also scheduled to speak at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium during August 21-23. Historically these speeches from the Fed Chair have often been significant in signaling perspectives on monetary policy. Slowing Recent Job Growth Part of the FOMC's mandate is full employment, and July's jobs report showed some slowing in job growth. However, perhaps more importantly, job growth for May and June was revised down. That data and the accompanying revisions to prior months may be sufficient to prompt the FOMC to cut interest rates in September. That's because the pace of hiring over the past 3 months is now the slowest since the last recession. Although, despite recently slowing job growth, unemployment has remained in a relatively narrow band of 4% to 4.2% since May 2024. The FOMC will also have August's jobs report, scheduled for release on September 5, when they next meet on September 17 so that will provide further color on employment trends. Inflation Data Updates to the Consumer Price index will come on August 12 and September 11. Despite subdued inflation for much of 2025 so far, the most recent CPI report for the month of June showed some inflationary pressure from tariffs on the prices of goods. However, even if inflation does pick-up, some policymakers have argued that the FOMC should look through what may be a one-time increase in prices. Rolling Back Restrictive Monetary Policy If there is further evidence that the jobs market could be softening and provided inflation figures remain generally tame, then the FOMC may elect to ease monetary policy. That's because monetary policy is currently somewhat restrictive, a position the FOMC put in place to help curtail inflation. Markets currently expect that a September 17 interest rate cut is highly likely, although not certain. Following that, cuts in October and December are possible. This makes it likely that the Federal Funds rate ends the year at under 4% according to the CME FedWatch Tool. However, much of this projection will be subject to upcoming economic data. Recent Dissents A cut in September is also fairly likely because July's meeting saw two dissents calling for lower interest rates. That's relatively unusual. In both cases, these dissents were due to seeing early risks to the jobs market and a willingness to look through any tariff-related inflation as a one-off event. Governor Waller telegraphed his dissent in a recent speech, which proved prescient on revisions to jobs figures. Michelle Bowman explained her dissent in a recent statement. What To Expect Barring unexpected economic data the FOMC appears on course to cut interest rates in September, at their next meeting. Beyond that further cuts could come in October or December and possibly at both meetings. Much will depend on labor market data. If the labor market is seen to be slowing, as July's jobs report suggests it could be, then the FOMC may elect to address that with lower interest rates, even if inflation remains a little above target.
