The coronavirus-induced market\u00a0bear is here. In fact, it has\u00a0been wreaking havoc on 401k, IRA, brokerage and other investment accounts for several weeks now. This has kicked\u00a0investors’\u00a0investing<\/a> stress hormones\u00a0into overdrive. While some\u00a0investors have fled in droves, others have stood their ground outright. What’s the best way to face the bear: fight or flight? Here’s our perspective.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Taking\u00a0flight from the bear<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0breaking news headlines of steep market losses\u00a0have been all over the place in recent weeks.\u00a0<\/span>The Dow dropped nearly 3000 points today. The Dow closed down\u00a01000 points. The Dow shed\u00a0800 points<\/em>. Consequently, investors\u00a0have made drastic investing changes to their portfolios\u00a0to minimize the financial damage. Some have\u00a0taken flight; they’ve\u00a0sold off securities, and vowed to never return\u00a0until the markets stop sinking or show signs of a rebound. Other investors, on the other hand, have decided to face the bear and fight. We adopt the latter strategy because it’s currently raining gold!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
