History Says This 1 Move Will Determine Whether Your Investments Survive a Bear Market
When the bear bites, you need to be ready.
Overview
Bear markets tend to come around every seven or eight years, on average, as there have been 13 of them in the past 100 years. But sometimes they are 13 years apart, like the gap between Black Monday in 1987 and the dot-com bubble in 2000, or two years apart, like the span between the COVID-19 crash of 2020 and the inflation crash of 2022.
While there are warning signs, such as the historically high Shiller P/E ratio, you don't actually know when a bear market is coming, even if you are already in its early stages. So, that makes it critical to heed the warning signs and be prepared for when it does come. That means you should be preparing now, and this one move will help you do that.
