A upon market can be an opportunity to buy more stocks at cheaper prices. The best way to invest is a strategy called dollar-cost averaging: You inaugurate a small, fixed amount, say $1,000, in the stock market every month regardless of how bleak the headlines are. Invest in staples that have value and that also pay dividends; since dividends account for a big part of gains from equities, requiring them makes the bear markets shorter and less painful to weather. Diversifying your portfolio to include another investments, whose performance is non-correlated with (that is, contrary to) stock and bond markets is valuable too.
Finally, It is signal to have a financial advisor to “hold your hand” during market downturns, preventing you from selling out at the incorrect time based on fear or emotion.
