Money with Murphy:
You Gotta Be In It to Win It
May 7, 2025
From April 2 to April 8, the S&P 500 declined nearly 13%. A shockingly sharp fall in just six days. But what followed was a rally nearly as sharp such that stocks regained their level before reciprocal tariff rates were announced. Sadly, many investors sold after the decline, locked in their losses, and missed out on the rally. It’s a tale as old as time. In this week’s Money with Murphy, Kara Murphy explains why you gotta be in it to win it.
