If the Stock Market Crashes in 2026, I'm Making This 1 Investing Move Immediately
Next time the stock market is going through a big sell-off, I'll remind myself to stay humble, stay confident -- and get ready to buy more stocks.
Overview
There's never an easier time to be an investor than during a big bull market. When stock prices are hitting all-time highs and it seems like every stock ticker chart is up and to the right, it's easy to feel confident. You might feel like an investing genius, like everything you touch turns to gold.
What happens when the markets go south? During a bear market, will you still feel so confident and prosperous? Or will you panic and make fear-based moves that might feel safe in the short term -- but are bad for your long-term financial future?
Details
I've seen some things during my life as an investor. I've lived through the dot-com bust, the global financial crisis, and the pandemic. I know from experience that stocks don't always go up. I know how it feels to watch your investment account plummet along with the lines on the charts. It's easy to talk a big game and try to sound brave before you're faced with the moment of crisis.
