Investors might be tempted to buy the dip, but the risks are far from over.
That's why adding high dividend stocks to your portfolio right now can give you some much needed stability and income as volatility rises through the fall.

When you run a marathon, it's better to focus on the finish line rather than each breath or stride.
That was the first thing that came to mind last week as the tech heavy Nasdaq dropped roughly 7% and Apple saw $180 billion erased from its market valuation on Thursday, the most any U.S.
company has ever lost in a single trading day.
Focusing on the finish line is important not just in sports but also the stock market.
While the tech selloff hammered markets over the last week, it is important to look at the bigger picture and look at the move as a healthy pullback for a bull market.

The Nasdaq is flirting with correction territory as it's down nearly 9% in less than a week.
The sharp downturn has volatility roaring back into markets and sending weak-kneed investors heading to the sidelines.
The VIX is up 18% in the same time frame.
But far from a panic-inducing downturn, this shakeup could play out very nicely for traders.
You see, we've been predicting volatility would increase around this time of year and it's healthy for markets to cool off a bit amid a runup.
That doesn't mean you have to stop making money.
Money Morning's Quantitative Specialist Chris Johnson has a great way to deal with the surging volatility headed our way.
But he is not going to just defend against it.
Rather, he has an options strategy designed to make you real money just as volatility expands.
