Summary

• April 2025 saw both the worst April market drop since 1932 and the longest winning streak in decades (9 days), highlighting unprecedented volatility.
• Technical indicators and extreme sentiment levels suggest potential short-term gains, but long-term investors should brace for a potentially unprecedented two bear markets in one year.
• Timing the market is nearly impossible, even the best trader in history, Jim Simons, can't do it. The average 10-year returns after VIX 50+ is 305%.
• Extreme volatility historically signals exceptional long-term gains (18 %+ CAGR returns over five years), offering patient, disciplined investors a chance to buy world-class dividend stocks at attractive valuations.
• If the historical returns play out, by April 7th, 2026, stocks will be 9% above current record highs, but between now and then, we could see almost anything. Smart investors don't pray for luck; they make their own.
