There are many news sources out-there trying to scare the heck out of you. So my suggestion before I even go into the subject for today is to ignore the news as their job is to attract your eyeballs and watch their ads. The scarier they make the situation look the more hooked people usually are.
With that out of the way, here is my real suggestion on how to invest when the stock market is down.
Keep Investing Every Single Month in low cost index funds. If you can afford, invest a bit more than normal, so that you are taking advantage of the market being down. As long as you are not turning greedy and as long as you have your emergency fund covered.
Take any money that you do not need in the next 5 years (do not do it all at once) and put it in the market and you will be rewarded long term.
Why am I saying keep investing? I am not really changing my message in any way as I have shared in other videos. The best way to win with the stock market is to constantly invest and never try to time the market.
What we are seeing is short term. If we look at history, we will see that this is temporary.
For example, look at S&P 500 over the last 5, 10, or 20 years (record a video like that)
Research from Invesco shows that from the period of November 1968 through December 2020—a span of more than 50 years—the average length of a bull market was about 5 years, while the average bear market lasted less than 1 year. Over this period, the average gain in a bull market was +180.04%, while the average loss in a bear market was -36.34%.
Be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful.
My wife and I wrote the book: “LIFE LESSONS: From A Wiser Me to A Younger Me” In this book, we go into details of what were the biggest lessons we have learned up until now. Our intention for writing the book was for people to learn from it and not repeat the same mistakes we did. Also what we have learned in 10, 20 years, could be compressed in a few days of you reading the book. So there is a lot to gain :)
