If a Stock Market Crash Is Coming, History Says the Smartest Investors Are All Making the Same Move
A downturn is coming eventually, and your strategy could make or break your portfolio.
Overview
This year has been a challenging one for Wall Street, but that hasn't seemed to slow the market down.
Despite oil price shocks, surging bond yields, and AI safety concerns, the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) has surged by more than 21% over the past six months. The tech-focused Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) has fared even better, up by nearly 30%.
Details
However, the question is not whether a bear market is coming, but when. Stock prices can't keep climbing forever, and at some point, the market is bound to take a turn for the worse. Preparing for that downturn, though, is simpler than you might think.
