MMM #14: How to Avoid Getting Eaten By a Bear… Market
The unprecedented run in the bull market finally came to a halt with all of the COVID-19 madness. The ensuing bear market has consumed its fair share of victims. I’ve received emails asking me if I am “stockpiling for the end of the world” and whether people should move to cash until it “hits the bottom”. Sorry to admit this, but I can’t predict the future… if I could, I would be living in Vegas. So, if you are concerned about the Bear market, this podcast episode is for you. Don’t get eaten by the Big Hungry Bear!
