Understanding Market Volatility and Strategy

Recent market conditions reveal significant volatility, with the S&P 500 up about 20% year to date despite various corrections and rebounds. Market fluctuations, particularly in the second quarter, prompted warnings from analysts about ongoing turbulence and emphasized the need for a disciplined investment approach.
