The S&P 500 appears to have stabilized slightly following the December rout that culminated with a day in bear market territory, on December 24th.1 <\/sup>Though the depths of the selling pressure appear to be behind us for now, investors would be wise to stay mentally prepared for continued volatility in the weeks ahead.<\/p>\n

The fears and uncertainties driving the volatility, in my view, have yet to fade.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s also good reason for hope in the current environment, in my opinion. Here\u2019s why: if these \u2018fears\u2019 holding down the market fade away \u2013 or if they don\u2019t turn out to be as bad as everyone expects \u2013 then I believe stocks can use that cleared air to recover fully, and even go on to reach new highs.<\/p>\n
