What the Stock Market Selloff Is Really About

US stocks hit by Fed fears and unease over Ukraine

CNBC’s Jim Cramer weighs in on today’s market selloff. Cramer says the impact of the downing of Flight MH17 was a game changer and Putin will win.

U.S. stocks declined sharply Tuesday, more than wiping out the prior day’s gains, with traders citing uncertainty about the tension between Russia and Ukraine and concerns that the strengthening economy will lead to higher

interest rates.

Cashin: Why the Stock Market Took a Midday Tumble

Stocks sold off rapidly, with the Dow dropping as much as 199 points, following media reports on comments by Polish officials on the crisis.

“The report today that Russian troops were lining on the borders of Ukraine preparing for an invasion — whether accurate or not, I don’t know, but it was not helpful,” said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott.

“Selling begets selling when certain technical levels are breached,” said Luschini, who listed the S&P 500 breaking below Monday’s intraday low of 1,921.20 as among the drivers of the accelerated losses.

Precious Metals as a Safe Haven

There’s a great wealth transfer taking place right now. Are you on the losing end or the receiving end?

Wealth Transfer Planning

Precious metals have always been a safe haven for investing in high inflationary times. Historically speaking, a recurring cycle that always seems to repeat itself is periods of high inflation as a precursor to the crash of paper currencies. Those who understand this wealth cycle and position themselves in gold and silver are those who prosper.

Precious metals are assets that will never lose their value. They are not subject to systematic risks as paper money and serve as a hedge against inflation and other threats of devaluation. Cornerstone Asset Metals was established to help guide investors safely in and out of the precious metals market.
