As a result, many investors have been seeking out products that can provide some downside protection, like covered call strategies. However, not all covered call strategies are created equal. Before allocating to any of these products, it is important to understand their strengths and weakness given various market environments.

It also cautioned that there were enough macro ingredients in play to threaten a recession. Encouragingly, history also says "This, too, shall pass" and that Q4 of 2022 and the first two quarters of 2023 typically experience the highest average S&P 500 price returns—along with dramatically reduced volatility—when compared with the entire 16-quarter presidential cycle. Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist of CFRA, discuss whether fundamental and technical outlooks suggest that history will indeed repeat, or if the market will be challenged once again.
