2 Winners and 1 Loser in a Stock Market Downturn
Stock market downturns are inevitable, unfortunately. And even though nobody likes seeing their portfolio's value dropping, downturns can actually be a good thing for many people and healthy for the stock market.
With the stock market currently in a bear market, there are at least two potential winners and one potential loser, and I'm not talking about individual stocks. Let me explain.
Time can be a powerful force in investing. Not only does it fuel compound interest, but it also gives you time to recover from inevitable market downturns. Not all companies will survive market downturns, but it's all but certain that the major indexes and blue chip stocks will. Past performance doesn't guarantee future performance, but it's a really good indicator.
