The Market Faces Extreme Turmoil: A Potential Buying Opportunity

We won’t sugarcoat it: the stock market is currently facing significant challenges.

On Monday, March 10, the Dow Jones plummeted by nearly 1,000 points. The S&P 500 decreased by almost 3%, and the Nasdaq fell 4%.

This decline marks one of the worst days on Wall Street since September 2022, contributing to a troubling period for stock investors.

The S&P has dropped 9% from its recent highs in February, aligning with its largest correction since 2022.

Similarly, the Nasdaq has experienced a near 14% crash, representing its most severe correction since 2022.

The Russell 2000 has declined over 17%, also matching its largest correction since 2022.

In total, the “Magnificent 7” tech stocks have fallen more than 20%, entering their first bear market since—it’s no surprise—2022.

This downturn is widely regarded as the most severe stock market selloff in over two years.

Yet, this could indicate the best buying opportunity we’ve encountered in that timeframe.

Seize Opportunities Amid Fear

As investor legend Warren Buffett famously advises, it’s wise to be greedy when others are fearful.

This principle has historical backing.

According to the weekly data from the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII), investor sentiment is currently at a low not seen in years. Historically, whenever investor sentiment has been this negative, stocks have risen over the following year, averaging gains of nearly 30%.

At the same time, the Nasdaq 100 has dipped below its critical technical support—the 200-day moving average—for the first time in over a year, mirroring similar occurrences 11 times since 1990.

In each instance, the market found support at these levels and remained within 4% of the 200-day moving average for the ensuing two weeks. Subsequently, stocks rebounded over the following year, yielding average gains exceeding 25%. Notable rebounds occurred in early 1992, early 1996, late 1997, early 2004, mid-2010, late 2014, and late 2018.

Thus, even as stocks face turmoil, data suggests this may represent a significant buying opportunity.

Insights from Elon Musk

To identify the best stocks to consider during this market downturn, let’s turn to an expert in wealth generation—Elon Musk, the world’s richest individual.

The days of Musk being merely known as ‘the Tesla guy’ are long gone.

This billionaire has brought electric vehicles to the forefront, redefined space launches, and is developing brain implant technology enabling people to control devices with thoughts. Additionally, he aims to revolutionize social media with X and introduce fully autonomous robots through Tesla’s (Stock-ticker”>TSLA) Optimus project.

Now, Musk takes on his boldest venture yet—addressing government inefficiencies as President Trump’s appointee to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

His expanding influence could bode well for Tesla Stock, but many investors might be overlooking a different company of Musk’s that has even greater potential in 2025.

That company is xAI, Musk’s artificial intelligence startup.

Overview of xAI

Founded approximately two years ago, xAI aims to develop foundational AI models to compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini. The company has released several models, with the latest, Grok-3, debuting in late February and showcasing impressive capabilities.

Grok-3 utilized over 10 times the computing power of its predecessor, Grok-2, backed by a massive data center housing around 200,000 GPUs. Its advanced reasoning features enable it to break down problems into manageable parts and verify information accuracy before generating responses. Additionally, it incorporates a new Deep Search feature, an integrated AI-driven search tool designed to expedite information retrieval with comprehensive explanations.

According to xAI, Grok-3 surpasses competing models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek in mathematics, science, and coding.

This appears to be a groundbreaking model.

Due to its rapid success, xAI is currently negotiating to raise up to $10 billion, positing a $75 billion valuation. This means that in less than two years since its inception, xAI is already valued more than 70% of the companies in the S&P 500.

Yet, this could be just the beginning for the startup.

Innovative Minds Drive Transformative Companies

Remarkably, groundbreaking businesses often stem from visionary leaders. These individuals cultivate revolutionary ideas, and when paired with extensive funding, these innovations mature into transformative enterprises.

For instance, Apple (Stock-ticker”>AAPL) achieved its status largely due to Steve Jobs, who conceived the iPhone idea and leveraged Apple’s computing revenue to fund its development, ultimately propelling Apple into trillion-dollar territory.

Likewise, Microsoft (Stock-ticker”>MSFT) emerged as a tech giant thanks to Bill Gates, who spearheaded Windows’s creation using Microsoft’s PC profits to enhance Windows, allowing Microsoft to evolve into a trillion-dollar powerhouse.

Visionary leaders with significant resources cultivate groundbreaking firms.
