If a Stock Market Crash Is Coming, History Says This 1 Investing Move Is Crucial
Despite the S&P 500 index trading in record territory, the investment community is full of pessimists.
Overview
The S&P 500 index (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) is on an incredible run. It put up total returns exceeding 17% in each of the past three calendar years. And in 2026, the total return so far has been 14% (as of Aug. 11).
This kind of stellar performance doesn't prevent investors from constantly thinking about the possibility of a stock market crash. Instead of sitting still, though, history says this one move is absolutely critical to be prepared for whatever comes.
