“Buy the dip” suggests underlying resilience of demand for stocks.  

 

Traders demonstrated a willingness to buy the dip last week, suggesting underlying resilience of demand for stocks. Jensen Huang, the “rock-star” founder of the world’s dominant AI chip maker, Nvidia, resigned under pressure on Wednesday night. NVDA stock opened down 13% on Thursday morning. Traders who bought on the bad news at the open made a 10% profit by the close. Trading volume for NVDA was the most active in 22 months. Although NVDA still was lower for the full week, the technology-heavy ETFs that hold a lot of NVDA (such as XLK and QQQ) ended the week with gains. 

 

The benchmark S&P 500 is now down only 3% from its all-time high on 10/6/2026, while the technology-heavy Nasdaq 100 index is down nearly 10%. So far, both of these declines qualify as normal corrections, despite consensus of traders fears of further erosion of stock prices.

 

The benchmark S&P 500 stock price index rose to a new all-time high just 27 trading days ago on 10/6/2026. Since then, pessimism replaced optimism, and bearish, risk-off sentiment became the new mood of the stock market, which is bullish according to The Art of Contrary Opinion.

 

The underlying major trend of technological progress will continue to support strong earnings growth, despite temporary setbacks. We believe it is highly likely that our highest-ranked, strong-growth stocks will resume their major uptrends before long. Bearish sentiment simply offers opportunity to accumulate growth stocks at bargain prices.
