In this episode of New Focus on Wealth, host Chad Burton discusses the current stock market correction and its implications for investors. He explains that a correction occurs when the market is down 10% from a recent peak and highlights that most indexes have been negative since January 2022. Chad also mentions the impact of rising interest rates on tech stocks and the subsequent rally in the AI sector. Despite the QQQ ETF representing the NASDAQ being up 33.87% for the year, it is still down from its highs. Listeners are encouraged to consult a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.
