US stocks edged lower on Monday, trimming early gains, as investors weighed a much-anticipated product launch from tech giant Apple and continued hunting for clues about the future path of interest rate rises.

BlackRock (NYSE: BLK), the world's largest asset manager, has endured a difficult couple of years.

A new bull market for the Nasdaq Composite Index has been in sight for several months.

Wall Street can look vastly different depending on your investment timeline. When examined over multiple decades, we see that stock market corrections are commonplace, but the uptrend in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI), S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), and Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) is well-defined. Over shorter periods, directional movements on Wall Street become far less predictable, as evidenced by the three major U.S. stock indexes plunging into a bear market in 2022.
On the other hand, every double-digit percentage decline in the major indexes, including the Nasdaq Composite, has proven to be a buying opportunity for patient investors. Despite never knowing when corrections or bear markets will start, how long they'll last, or how steep the decline will be, history does conclusively show that index-based losses associated with every decline are eventually cleared away by a bull market. For investors with a long-term mindset, this represents an opportunity to pounce on innovative growth stocks trading at a discount.
