Worried About a Market Crash? 1 Stock to Buy Hand Over Fist if It Happens

The recent bout of market volatility has many investors feeling anxious. High inflation, the omicron variant, and potential interest rate hikes in 2022 have conspired to spark a significant sell-off in growth stocks, and none of those variables are likely to disappear in the near term.

What should investors do? First and foremost, keep a level head. Remember that no one knows the future, so it doesn't make sense to sell your portfolio in anticipation of a downturn. And, while market crashes are never pleasant, they can present great buying opportunities. In fact, Warren Buffett once advised investors to "be greedy when others are fearful."

As you prepare for the next market crash -- and no one knows when it will happen -- it makes sense to keep a watch list of stocks and a cash position in your portfolio that you can use to buy those stocks when they go on sale. Cloudflare (NYSE: NET) is at the top of my watch list.
