If a Stock Market Crash Is Coming, History Says Following These 6 Words From Warren Buffett Is the Smartest Move You Can Make

A Nasdaq article headlined "If a Stock Market Crash Is Coming, History Says Following These 6 Words From Warren Buffett Is the Smartest Move You Can Make" frames a recurring investor-sentiment theme around a crash-defense maxim attributed to Warren Buffett, though the headline itself does not specify the six words or any new market event. The transmission channel here is investor behavior rather than macro fundamentals: commentary of this type tends to influence risk appetite and flows into defensive or long-horizon holdings, particularly among retail investors who respond to widely shared advice during periods of volatility. The S&P 500 is the broad benchmark most exposed to any shift in sentiment, since its aggregate performance reflects broad equity positioning, while Berkshire Hathaway Class B shares (BRK-B) are more directly linked because they represent the vehicle most associated with Buffett's stated philosophy and tend to attract flows when his views receive heightened attention.

HIGH-impact news is typically a market-moving event with multi-pip or multi-percent intraday reactions. Examples include central bank rate decisions, major CPI/NFP releases, geopolitical shocks, mega-cap earnings beats/misses, and regulatory announcements. Traders typically position-reduce or hedge ahead of scheduled HIGH-impact events, and follow the wire in real time to react to unscheduled ones (war headlines, central-bank emergency statements, surprise corporate actions). The Trading News Terminal squawk box reads every HIGH-impact headline aloud the moment it hits the wire — so active traders don't have to stare at the feed.

Active traders typically follow a three-step workflow when a market-moving headline hits the wire: (1) read the headline on the terminal or hear it on the squawk box; (2) assess whether the news is already priced in (by checking intraday price action in the seconds before) or whether it's genuinely new information; (3) act — either entering a breakout position, fading an overreaction, or tightening stops on existing trades. Trading News Terminal's Pro plan delivers wire-grade headlines within seconds of the source, with automatic audio squawk on every HIGH-impact event, so the read-assess-act cycle never waits on a refresh button.
