Powerful, Unseen Positives Signal Classic Correction, Not a Bear

Fall in to the gap! The gap between expectations and reality, that is—always stocks’ chief driver. Today it’ss a big, yawning chasm. The tragic, grinding Ukraine war, hot inflation, rising interest rates, a negative GDP quarter, central bank “tightening,” China’s lockdowns—all this and more torpedoed sentiment during 2022’s first third. Beneath this sour surface stir powerful positives—doubly strong because they are unseen. Their stealthy presence amid widespread gloom is more evidence this downturn is a classic correction, not a new bear market.
