Navigating the stock market lately feels like riding a rollercoaster. While stocks are rallying on the latest Fed rate decision today, and November offers the advantage of bullish seasonality, there are still plenty of reasons to be wary - from the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip, to a troubling lack of leadership from small-cap stocks amid the market's current bounce out of correction territory.
However, there's one way to take advantage of the market's pullback from its summertime highs - and any future dips, as well. By initiating or adding to long-term stock investments at lower prices, it's possible to achieve a more favorable cost basis over time, and maximize returns.
