Whether this is technically a bear market is debatable, but investors should be prepared
Understanding a bear market and how to protect your assets.
At the beginning of 2020, we were still cruising along in a decade-long bull marketâin fact, the longest one ever. Then the global pandemic struck, and over 23 trading days, the stock market fell -34%,1 replacing the bull with a bear.
Since then stock prices have fluctuated wildly, but the unemployment rate, GDP and other indicators signal that we could be in bear territory for a while.
For investors, the uncertainty of a bear market can be scary. How long will it last? How far will stocks fall? How much will it damage my nest egg?
