if you have the "conviction" that a company is doing well (business is growing, customers are growing, earnings are growing), then the bear market is a good time to buy more shares of the company at a cheaper price.
this is what happens when the potato chips you like goes on sale at the supermarket. whether they have excess inventory and are nearing expiry or they are running a promotion does not bother you, you just loa...

How do you grow the courage to invest in a bear market?
If don't invest and leave your money in saving account, you'll still lose to inflation. Hence my investment goal is don't lose money, at least invest to reduce the impact of inflation. Here are some suggestions on how to invest in a bear market:
1. High interest fixed deposit (FD).

Stock prices are voting machine in the short run and weighing machine in the long run.
why do I say that? Well we all know that good companies' share price will go up in the long run even in face of volatility in the short term. The question is how can we choose the right company with good sales and support team coupled with good research and development team who keeps the innovative products and services coming on stream constantly.
We should also avoid overpaying as this is a recipe...

4 The market is like a voting machine in the short term but like a weighing machine in the long term.
Prices can fluctuate wildly based on emotion, but the true value of a business will show over the years (whether good or bad).
5 The intelligent investor's primary goal is to not lose money – and that's not easy.
If you lose 95% of your money, you have to make a 1900% profit just to get back to square one!
6 Buying even the best stock only makes sense at the right price.
Always ask "How much?"...

7 Diversify.
Invest in bonds, stocks, and other assets so that your fortunes are not tied to a single bet.
8 Always look for a margin of safety.
Buy at a price where even if your calculations are off by a little, you have room to be wrong and still make money.
9 Understand your style and commit to it.
You can either be a passive investor who minimizes stress and makes good returns, or you can be an active investor who spends all your energy on finding great bargains. There is no middle ground...
