Over the past two days, U. S. stocks have experienced a roller coaster from soaring to plummeting.
The optimism behind Wednesday's rally was gone at the start of trading on Thursday. Overnight, U.S. stocks suffered the most aggressive interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve in two decades, with both the Dow and the Nasdaq recording their biggest one-day losses since 2020. Only 19 stocks in the S & P 500 closed without falling.

But even after such a big sell-off, analysts still believe that the decline in U. S. stocks has not stopped.
Sam Stovall, chief equity analyst at CFRA, one of the world's largest independent investment research firms, warned that even after Thursday's plunge, there was still more room for the S & P to fall, and further declines could drag the index below 4000.
Mike Wilson, chief u. S.equity strategist at Morgan Stanley, also warned a few days ago that the s & p could fall another 17% from its current level because the stock market failed to provide a hedge against inflation as investors increasingly expected.
David Wright, a big bear on Hua'er Street, believes that the bear market has only just begun, and investors are worried about macroeconomic and geopolitical unrest. We are at the peak of complacency, and the market is in the middle of the biggest bear market we have ever seen. The bear market has just begun, and there is a big market behind it.
Under the concussion market, how should the fund be arranged?
In recent weeks, analysts Bank of America Corporation and Goldman Sachs Group have called on investors to pay attention to high dividend stocks. For investors such as insurance funds and pension funds, high dividend stocks have natural advantages: they will not only get a return on corporate capital, but also get a steady stream of cash flow. And even for investors who pay less attention to the cash flow from high dividends, the low valuations and sound corporate characteristics that high dividends themselves often represent are good additions.
Investors seeking risk aversion are also reported to be turning to high dividend stocks, an area of the market that was largely ignored last year. This year, high-dividend companies beat almost all other categories.
