Stock market experts are weighing in on the current state of the market, precious metals, and options as we head into the summer months. Steve Reitmeister emphasizes that the economy is like a helium balloon naturally inclined to float higher, with only a recession or equity bubble strong enough to cause a bear market. He believes there is no reason to worry about a recession and that we are currently in a mild-to-medium bull market with annual gains around 10%.
Danielle Shay discusses how lower trading volume in the summer months can affect market volatility and trading opportunities. She advises on strategies for trading in a low-volatility environment, such as buying the dip, focusing on relative strength stocks, and using options like buying calls or selling put credit spreads.
