2022 was a frustrating year for investors as the S&P 500 has had its biggest decline since 2008 when the global financial crisis wracked markets.
This time around, rising interest rates and inflation torpedoed stocks, pressuring both valuations and business performance, especially in areas like retail, tech, and transportation.
However, savvy investors know that bear markets are also great opportunities to buy stocks. Most stocks have seen their prices fall, but many of them offer the same value proposition they did just a year ago, and they're likely to rebound in a healthier economy, which could come as early as 2023.
