The stock market keeps on falling this year and I know many investors are becoming discouraged and starting to worry about the future. During turbulent market times like we are experiencing today I like to find solace in historical data. History tells us that bear markets occur every 56 months or just a little longer than every 4.5 years. The most recent bear market started on June 13th for the S&P while the Nasdaq entered its current bear market on March 7th. The average bear market lasts for 9.6 months so based on historical measures we are in the early stages of the current bear market. The key is to position yourself properly so that you can benefit from the inevitable bull market that is going to follow. Now the most popular and the safest investing strategy is using a combination of index funds to maximize your risk tolerance between equities and fixed income. However if you prefer to invest in individual dividend growth stocks here are 8 great companies that I believe are attractively valued today and should perform better than average in the future.
