If a Bear Market Is Coming, This Is the Single Best Investing Decision You Can Make
A diversified portfolio can help counter the urge some investors may feel to sell their stocks when prices start dropping.
Overview
In 2026, it can feel like each time the market takes one step forward, it snaps back just as quickly, unable to find the footing needed for a prolonged rally. The worry then becomes that if stocks can't rebound from a broad sell-off, a bear market may loom, which would be the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) falling by 20% or more from its recent highs.
If that's the case and we enter a bear market, history suggests there's one move to make that could be the single best investing decision.
