If a Stock Market Crash Is Coming, Here's the 1 Thing You Shouldn't Do, According to History
Many investors say this was their biggest mistake.
Overview
Is a market crash coming? What investors really want to know is whether a market crash is coming soon; there's sure to be a market crash at some point, but the unknown is whether it's around the corner or far off into the future.
There are certainly signs that it might be sooner rather than later. The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) is trading near its highest valuation ever as measured by a cyclical-adjusted P/E (CAPE) ratio of 41, and when it hit its record of 44 in 2000, the market crashed and lost value for three years straight.
