3 Expect Bear Markets & Recessions

• 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 15% during each year &

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.
