If a Stock Market Crash Is Coming, History Says the Smartest Investors Are Already Making This 1 Move
It's simpler than you might think to prepare for a market downturn.
Overview
After years of record-breaking growth, major market indexes are wavering. The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) is down more than 1.25% since early June, while the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) has fallen by more than 6% in that time.
To be clear, short-term volatility doesn't necessarily mean that a crash is imminent. But there are plenty of headwinds facing the market right now, including surging oil prices, persistently high inflation, and concerns about AI spending.
Details
Downturns are a normal part of the market's cycle, so while nobody can say exactly when the next bear market will begin, it's a matter of when -- not if -- we face one. Here's how the smartest investors are already preparing.
