3 Signs Your Portfolio Is Built to Withstand a Market Crash

One of the hardest truths to accept about investing is that you'll probably lose money at some point. It happens to everyone, even the billionaires. There isn't anything you can do to control the market, but you can take steps to minimize your losses by choosing your investments carefully. Here are three signs you've already built a resilient investment portfolio.

Everyone should own at least 25 stocks across a few different industries to reduce their risk of loss. It can be tempting to invest everything in a handful of popular tech companies, but even this industry can experience setbacks. If all their stock prices plummet, so does the value of your investment portfolio. That's especially dangerous to those who are planning to withdraw funds from their account in the near future.
