What Warren Buffett Can Teach Us About Handling Bear Markets
There are few, if any, people whose names are associated with success in the stock market quite like Warren Buffett, and for good reason. With a net worth of over $100 billion, Buffett has rightfully earned his spot among investing royalty. And one of the best things about his success is that it didn't take some extravagant strategy to do it.
As we endure a bear market that has shrunk the value of many investors' portfolios, here are some gems from Buffett that can help you better handle it and use it as an opportunity.
Warren Buffett is the poster child for value investing, which is a strategy by which investors look to find stocks trading at prices lower than their intrinsic (true) value. Value investors aim to buy undervalued stocks and profit from the increase to their intrinsic value eventually. For example, if a stock is trading at $100, but an investor believes the intrinsic value is $120, they'd invest, hoping to, at minimum, profit from the 20% increase once the market realizes its true value.
