The Longest Dow Slide in 50 Years — What It Means for Traders

Hey traders,

Yesterday marked the 10th consecutive down day for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, making it the longest slide in over 50 years.

Not only that, but this drop erased all the gains we saw after the last election.

Now, if you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know this didn’t come as a surprise.

Right after the election, when the markets started roaring, I talked to you about ways to protect yourself during the rally — covered calls, trailing stops, and other strategies designed to lock in gains.

Why? Because while good news can push the market higher, it’s rarely enough to keep it there.

And here we are today: 10 down days, a half-century record, and a clear lesson in the importance of risk management.

How I Avoid the Panic

Here’s the thing: I didn’t lose any post-election gains.

I didn’t panic and sell. I didn’t make rash decisions. And that’s because I’ve learned over the years that a thousand-point drop in the Dow isn’t a reason to abandon your strategy.

The key is to stay focused on finding good entry points and executing a plan — not reacting emotionally to the day-to-day headlines.

Why 2025 Will Be a Stock Picker’s Market

Looking ahead, 2025 is shaping up to be one of the best years we’ve seen in a long time. But it’s not going to be easy.

This isn’t going to be a “buy everything and hold” market. Instead, it’s going to reward traders who know how to pick the right stocks and use the right strategies.

What does that mean for you?

It means understanding which strategies are working in this environment, how to implement them effectively, and when to pivot as market conditions change.
