Investors have become increasingly pessimistic over the past year, worried that runaway inflation would cause the economy to sink into a recession. That concern has been amplified by a series of aggressive rate hikes from the Federal Reserve, and the stock market has fallen sharply as a result. The S&P 500 is now down 23% from its high, and the Nasdaq Composite is down 34%, putting both indexes in a bear market.
Fortunately, there is a silver lining to that carnage. E-commerce leaders Amazon (AMZN) and MercadoLibre (MELI) have seen their share prices fall sharply.
