Prediction: If a Bear Market Is Coming, This ETF Will Be the Biggest Long-Term Winner
It's hard to go wrong with the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF.
Overview
Since 1872, there have been 26 bull markets and 26 bear markets, according to research from Fidelity. This means that one follows another, and that the current bull market we've been experiencing since 2022 will eventually come to an end.
And some investors are trying to prepare now for a market-wide shift in sentiment. The bull market historically lasts about 3.5 years, on average, so we could be getting close to the current one winding down.

But timing the beginning or the end of any bull or bear market is impossible. Instead, putting your money into an exchange-traded fund that tracks the broad S&P 500 is one of the best long-term moves you can make.
