These include: 1) Economic Slowdown - a potential recession or economic slowdown could negatively impact corporate earnings and stock prices; 2) Interest Rates - rising interest rates might increase borrowing costs, affecting both consumer spending and corporate profits; 3) Inflation - persistent high inflation could lead to tighter monetary policy, reducing consumer purchasing power; 4) Geopolitical Risks - ongoing or new geopolitical tensions could disrupt global trade and increase market volatility; 5) Corporate Earnings - if companies fail to meet earnings expectations, stock valuations could suffer; 6) Regulatory Changes - new regulations or changes in policy could affect specific industries or the market as a whole; 7) Technological Disruption - rapid technological changes might render some companies obsolete or disrupt traditional business models; and 8) Market Sentiment - shifts in investor sentiment driven by any of these factors could lead to significant market corrections. Tobey emphasizes the importance of investors being aware of these risks to better navigate potential market downturns.
