[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 2196853, member: 52145"] since 1929 there have been 25 bear markets. that is the s&p 500 has dropped 20% or more. the average bear market lasts only 10 months. time between bear markets is about 3.5 years. so I agree with realbrown1. wait out the bear markets if possible. we use dollar cost averaging so during bear markets we actually buy more shares of an index fund with the same amount of money. so when the market gets back to where it was we have made money instead of just breaking even. do what people like Warren Buffett does. when everyone is panicking and selling , he is buying . googled " history of U.S. Bear markets since 1929 ."
