Why I Buy Stocks in Every Single Bear Market
Bear markets can seem scary to investors, and for good reason. No one likes to see the market fall 20% or more. And most people who are invested see the value of at least some of their investments decline during a bear market because broad market indexes don't usually fall by that much without the share price declining for a lot of companies.
But while the very words "bear market" can strike fear in many, they aren't a source of concern for me.
In fact, I've actually increased the amount of money I put into stocks in each of the bear markets that have occurred since I started buying stocks. And when the market sees major declines again and we inevitably find ourselves in a bear market sometime in the future, I plan on doing the same at that time, too.
