S&P 500 returns strong despite swings

Peter Mallouk highlights that the S&P 500 has returned an average of 12 percent per year since 1980, despite experiencing an average intra-year drawdown of 14 percent.

He emphasizes that market volatility does not automatically result in a permanent financial loss unless an investor decides to sell during declines.

Mallouk has previously discussed whether AI-driven market enthusiasm is justified and urged investors to diversify and take a long-term view in recent commentary. He also noted that stocks reached record highs even as consumer sentiment dropped to record lows, pointing to a divergence in market and public outlook in earlier remarks. These observations build on his focus on investor behavior during periods of volatility.
