3 Expect Bear Markets
• Be a long-term, goal-focused investor.
• Recessions and market declines come and go; it's nothing to be shocked about
Bear markets can be a great buying opportunity while prices are temporarily
depressed; buy low, sell high.
On average, the S&P 500 index
declines 10-15% during each year
& 20-30% once every 5 years
4 Resist Chasing
• Avoid the temptation to follow the crowd.
• Don’t chase past returns of investments or exciting fads that are getting all the hype.
• Make investment strategy decisions that fit your financial goals and planning.
