VIX up 86% YTD

How to survive a bear market?

  1. If you’re buying shares, dollar cost averaging will help reduce the pain if the stock keeps dropping.

  2. Diversify your holdings. Is your entire portfolio in growth tech? Look into defensive stocks, dividend yielding cyclicals.

  3. Look into sectors that perform well in recessions. Consumer staples, energy and utilities. Financial sector can benefit the six interest rate hikes that are on the horizon.

  4. Focus on the long-term. Are you investing for retirement and it’s still 20-30 years away? In the long run, the bull markets will make up for the bears, as long as you don’t panic and run.

  5. Invest with defined outcome option strategies with high probability of winning and longer dated expirations (12-18 months). Sure it may not be as exciting as YOLOing into a single put, but a put spread will help you preserve your hard won capital and help it grow.
