My generation saw one of the biggest market corrections (drops) in history when most of us were in high school, college or entering the workplace for the first time. This instills fear and mistrust in the market on Wall Street for much of my generation.
But what's funny is that most of us want to work for those large companies, not the type of Wall Street, but those who do most market indexes. Why do we want to work for these companies? This is because they are innovative, emerging and want to change the world. You know what would be better than to work for these companies? Owning a part of these companies. And the best time to invest in the stock market is when there is a bear market. You should not trust Wall Street, all you have to do is believe in the leaders of the company, which ultimately lead companies to success.
Investing in bear market
Bear market provides an excellent opportunity to invest in large US companies. They will continue to grow and innovate, even during difficult times. These companies are run by successful business owners, entrepreneurs and managers who want to further develop their business.
Investing means to be smart, not gambling, which can happen, although some think they invest. Smart investing requires research and the right kind of diversification. ETF-s are a great way to take advantage of a bear market, as they have already diversified into many companies. Larger long-term mutual funds are also a good idea and their managers usually have a longer experience. Investing directly in stocks can be difficult, regardless of the type of economy we are experiencing. So if that's what you prefer to do, do not forget to do your research.
We want to be optimistic and to find opportunities to invest in companies that have already proven themselves in previous bear markets.
Be cautious when investing, but do not panic
There are reasons to be cautious in a bear market, but do not panic. Panicking will only make you to act emotionally and perhaps even sell the investments you already have. Resist the fears. Decisions by fear are almost always bad and cause more losses than ROI. Take the opportunity of bear markets, which allows you to invest in large US companies at a discount. I like to think of it as a final sale. Remember that stock markets have shown us many times that bear markets are short-term and long-term value is increased.
Do not be negative Nancy and do not think that's the end of the world when it appears next bear market. Be optimistic and acknowledge the wonderful opportunity to invest, which just opened for you. Panicking is the last thing you want to do. Instinctively ask, why put money into something that looks like an endless hole? But this is not etaka. Historically, every bear market lasts about a year and a half, and then continues to rise. The value of the businesses in the past has gone.
