If a Bear Market Is Coming, Warren Buffett Says This is the Best Move Investors Can Make
The stock market has been rallying for more than three years, but smart investors know the music won't go on forever.
Overview
The stock market has been on a historic tear since 2023. Anyone who sat through 2022's bruising bear market and then stayed put has been rewarded handsomely. The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) delivered total returns of about 24% in 2023, 23% in 2024, and 16% in 2025, and it is up another 12% or so in 2026 as of Sept. 25. The Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) ran even hotter, with gains near 43%, 29%, and 20% across those three full years alongside a 16% pop so far this year.
This kind of rally does not happen often. The question smart investors should be weighing is if a bear market is coming, what can you actually do to stay ahead? Luckily, Warren Buffett offered some sage advice to help navigate these exact scenarios.
