3 Stocks for an Approaching Bear Market

Bull markets can only last so long, and the current one is getting pretty long in the tooth. By some measures, it is the second longest one since World War II. Regardless of how you calculate it, markets do cycle and bull markets turn into bear markets.

To weather the approaching bear market, three Motley Fool investors turned to a theme: companies that can make a consumer's dollar go further. There's good reason they picked Dollar General (NYSE: DG), Ross Stores (NASDAQ: ROST), and Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) as ideal stocks to survive a bear market.
