10:05am: Markets bounce back Stocks are rallying in early trading on Friday as markets attempt to rebound from a tumultuous week that saw the S&P 500 enter correction territory. Just after the open, the Dow Jones is up 260 points or 0.6%, trading at 41,073.
After a bright start to the last trading day of the week, inflation threatened to spoil the party.
The Nasdaq-100 Index (NDX) is known for a lot of things — lengthy outperformance of the S&P 500 among them — but income isn't part of that list. Just look at the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) and the Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF (QQQM), both of which follow the NDX.
U.S. stocks traded higher this morning, with the Nasdaq Composite gaining around 1.5% on Friday.
With the Nasdaq Composite in correction territory, investors should consider investing some cash in the stock market. Corrections are defined as a decline of 10% from an all-time high, but they occur fairly often (just over every year since 1980).

The Nasdaq Composite has dropped roughly 13% in less than a month (as of this writing). As distressing as it feels, long-term investors must remember that 10% "corrections" in the market are surprisingly common -- typically occurring once every two years.
Restaurant chain Wingstop (WING -3.25%) is cheaper than it has been, but it is not a cheap stock. With the Nasdaq Composite (where Wingstop's shares trade) in correction territory, is it now time to buy this still fast-growing restaurant chain?
Artificial intelligence (AI) stocks scored massive wins for investors last year and led the Nasdaq to a double-digit gain. This momentum continued into the early days of 2025, but in recent weeks, these once top-performing stocks have struggled.
I used to loathe it when the stock market sold off. It meant the value of my portfolio took a hit.
The Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC -1.96%) is in correction territory as investors have been dumping growth stocks amid concerns related to tariffs, trade wars, and a potential slowdown in the economy in the months ahead. Buying shares of companies at a time like this can be unnerving, but if you're committed to holding on for the long term, the moves you make today could pay significantly in the future.
