3 Huge Investing Mistakes to Avoid During a Down Market

It's no secret that the stock market has been in a slump for much of 2022. Not only have certain sectors (hello, tech) been hit notably hard, but stocks, on the whole, have landed in correction territory, marking a decline of at least 10% from their previous highs.

To be fair, stock market corrections are actually pretty normal, common events. But if you're a newer investor, you may not quite know how to handle one.

Even if you're a more seasoned investor, the reality is that many of us haven't had to deal with a stock market correction for quite some time. Sure, stocks gave us a scare back in March of 2020 in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, but that bear market was fairly short-lived. Since then, stocks had enjoyed a nice rally until earlier this year.
