Pinterest, Inc. (PINS): Among Stocks That Will Make You Rich In 3 Years

We recently published a list of 10 Stocks That Will Make You Rich In 3 Years. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Pinterest, Inc. (NYSE:PINS) stands against other stocks that will make you rich in 3 years.

Is the Bull Market Over?

The stock market has been facing volatility since the tariffs were announced. This has created fears of a recession, leading many investors to think that this might be the end of the bull market. On April 29, Andrew Simmon, Head of Applied Equity Advisor Team at Morgan Stanley Investment Management, released a note explaining that the bull market may not have finished yet.

Simmon noted that the stock market took big swings earlier this year, which has hampered investor enthusiasm. However, this also presents a better outlook as compared to the start of the year, as now the bullish side of the market is weighing less. Simmon believes that this presents an attractive buying opportunity to get into the market at fairly discounted prices. He highlighted that the investment management firm had already anticipated 2025 to be a pause year for the S&P 500, with single-digit gains for investors. The third year of bull markets is usually mediocre, however, it still has the potential to produce single-digit gains, with greater volatility.

The Head of Applied Equity team highlighted that volatility has been one of the main characteristics of the market since the announcement of planned global tariffs. He noted that a decline of 20% from the peak would have indicated a bull market, however, the market pulled back and gained 10% on April 9, after the announcement of some tariffs being pulled back. Citing a statistical study, Simmon noted that according to an analysis, 9 out of 12 times when the S&P 500 has fallen more than 20%, it has brought a recession along with it. However, under the current situation, it seems that the “Trump Put” came into play as the recession talks started to spur the market.

While explaining the investment thesis for volatile times, Simmons acknowledged that investing in these times can be stressful, however, the key here is to follow the pattern as a guide. The pattern shows that when the S&P 500 is down 15%, it is a good time to enter the market. He explained that the S&P 500 has fallen 15% around 18 times since 1950, and the one-year return after the drop has been 14%, thereby making it an attractive entry point. Simmon concluded by noting that although there is no guarantee, however, historic trends have shown that when the markets go down, it is a good time to move against the headlines and increase stake in equities. This is because, as per the trends, a downturn often indicates that the odds of getting greater returns are getting better.
