4 Surefire Stocks to Buy in the Next Bear Market

With the S&P 500 now up more than 600% from the long-term low reached nearly 13 years ago, it's not a stretch to say this bull market is more than a little long in the tooth. Even the short-term correction during the height of the pandemic was only a temporary adjustment followed by even more fervent exuberance.

With inflation starting to soar and interest rates set to rise for at least the next couple of years, the next long-feared bear market may finally be in the offing. But that's not to say you should get out of the market altogether. It just might be a bad time to be nestling into new truly long-term trades you may end up owning for a lifetime. There's never a bad time, however, to make a plan for what to buy as the bear market eases.

Here's a rundown of four proven long-term stock winners that could be temporarily driven down by a bear market, but have what it takes for a quick and firm recovery once that storm passes.
