The Great Recession of 2007–2009 was nothing short of a nightmare. Years of massive gains in the stock and housing markets disappeared in a few short months.

Millions of homes ended up in foreclosure, often tying courts up for years. Job losses were worse.

The S&P 500 was trading at a then-high price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 16. Housing was priced at seven times income – up from just over four times income at the start of the 2000s. And, much like today, interest rates were rising while growth slowed. Last, but certainly not least, the yield curve was inverting, indicating a possible recession ahead.

These types of opportunities only come along a few times in the course of an investment lifetime. And right now is one of those times.

Let me explain…

The current bear market reminds me of what was experienced in 2008.

After reaching record highs in 2021, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq are down 15% and 27.5%, respectively.

And like the Great Financial Crisis, this sell-off has been particularly brutal for retirement accounts.

According to the Centre for Retirement Research at Boston College, the recent sell-off has erased over $3 trillion from U.S. retirement accounts. That’s more than the individual GDPs (gross domestic products) of India, the United Kingdom, and France. And they’re the world’s 5th, 6th, and 7th-largest economies, respectively.

We’re in a New Order of Money… where obscene money-printing and inflation have twisted the normal rules of money. And in this New Order, you need to rethink your ideas about investing and saving for retirement.

In this environment of fear, you need to focus on income-generating opportunities. And some of the best opportunities to find income in the stock market are with blue-chip dividend payers.

We have come across little known gold nugget where the focus is very much on finding shares that have significant potential and where the risk analysis is carried out. The difference being is the shares that are under the magnifying glass are mostly trading at $10 or less but have massive potential to grow in areas that are trending today.

Unless you already have a massive war chest which you will need to invest in some of the higher priced blue-chip trades, you will want to get the best Return on your Investment and at the same time spread the risk but even better do the ‘Due Diligence, otherwise you may as well invest in on buying lucky dip lottery tickets.

But for many potential investors they do not have the time, the professional understanding and more importantly the tools required to present the facts in a easy to understand visual format that allows you to make an informed decision on which companies to invest in that represents a good opportunity to show growth on your investment and equally what signals to look for when to buy and when to sell.
