Nasdaq Bear Market: 4 Extraordinary Growth Stocks You'll Regret Not Buying on the Dip
Though it can be a difficult realization to accept, stock market corrections and bear markets are perfectly normal parts of the investing cycle. Since the beginning of 1950, there have been 39 separate instances where the benchmark S 500 has corrected lower. Some of these instances can be sizable, such as when the growth-driven Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) shed 33% of its value in 2022.
On the other hand, every double-digit percentage decline in the major indexes, including the Nasdaq Composite, has proven to be a buying opportunity for patient investors. Despite never knowing when corrections or bear markets will start, how long they'll last, or how steep the decline will be, history does conclusively show that index-based losses associated with every decline are eventually cleared away by a bull market.
