Nasdaq Bear Market: 5 Superb Growth Stocks You'll Regret Not Buying on the Dip
Data doesn't lie: This has been one of the worst starts to a year for the stock market in about 50 years. Since hitting their respective record-closing highs, the famous Dow Jones Industrial Average, benchmark S&P 500, and growth-driven Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC), have respectively plunged by as much as 19%, 24%, and 34%. The magnitude of these declines firmly places the S&P 500 and Nasdaq in a bear market.
Although the velocity and unpredictability of downside moves during bear markets can test the resolve of investors, one thing that is certain is that every notable decline throughout history -- including in the Nasdaq Composite -- has eventually been wiped away by a bull market. In other words, every crash, correction, and bear market has represented the ideal time for opportunistic investors to go shopping.
