Don't Just Sit in Cash
Everybody is bracing for a recession...
The nation's foremost economists, our Wall Street experts, and mom-and-pop investors are all expecting the worst.
It's not hard to understand why these fears exist. Inflation has been too high for too long. As a result, the Federal Reserve has no plans to slow down its interest-rate hikes anytime soon. The Fed uses higher interest rates specifically to slow the economy.
According to the U.S. Survey of Professional Forecasters, this is the most worried that economists have ever been about a U.S. recession.
In the most recent results, nearly 44% of respondents expected America's gross domestic product ("GDP") to decline over the next year. That's the highest number in the survey's 54-year history.
When everyone just assumes something will happen, that's when you want to get skeptical.
Recessions tend to happen when people don't expect them. It's not the other way around.
I've been telling readers that we're probably closer to the end of the bear market than the beginning. But lots of folks are nervous and sitting on the sidelines.
And those people are going to miss great opportunities.
I'm not the only one telling folks to stay invested...
Next Thursday, January 12, my colleague Greg Diamond is hosting the "Get Out of Cash" event.
During the event, Greg will unveil how a strategy that dates back to 1876 is pointing to a historic market move in 2023, which you'd otherwise never see coming. And he'll explain why this will offer a fantastic moment for investors to get back into stocks. He's also sharing his No. 1 investment free of charge when you tune in.
This is an event you don't want to miss. And if you sign up now, you'll receive Greg's VIP report, "3 Cash Cows for 2023," where he details three stocks to potentially double your money three times within 2023.

Reader question of the week...
Q: Do options still work in a down market? – J.W.
A: Stock options are the right to buy or sell a stock at a given price. And you can buy options to make either bullish bets (that stocks will go up) or bearish bets (that stocks will go down). You just need to get the move and the timing right to make money.
I use an even safer approach in my Retirement Trader newsletter. We sell conservative options and pocket the modest – but consistent – income we collect from those sales.
The simplest environment for selling options is a rising market. When the markets rise, our holdings tend to rise... and we get to collect our option income without drama.
But while bear markets can be tough for any trader, Retirement Trader has some advantages...
First, we start with high-quality, blue-chip stocks. They tend to hold their value better than risky stocks in bear markets.
Second, our option income means we effectively buy stocks at lower prices. This gives us a cushion for stocks to fall before we take losses.
Third, because of the way options are priced, we can earn higher payments when there's fear in the markets.
Lastly, we sometimes "roll" a struggling position, which means we give shares more time to recover... allowing us to collect more income from the same stock.
We do sometimes alter our strategy in severe downturns as well. But most of the time, these factors are enough to keep us consistently profitable in any market.
As I showed subscribers in the most recent issue of Retirement Trader, we earned an average annualized gain of 20% while the markets soared in 2021... and again while the markets fell in 2022.
