3 Mistakes to Avoid if the Stock Market Crashes

If you're an investor worried that another downturn could rock the markets before the year is out, you're certainly not alone. Investors have been met with no shortage of bold and eye-catching predictions from Wall Street for months on end that another crash could be just around the corner.

These are three potentially portfolio-crushing mistakes you should never make if and when the stock market crashes again.
