Mooers's insights: What do you usually do when the market is down？

@Syuee：
There are only two things which come to my mind, when the market is down:
1. Sit back and relax. Every time the stock market is down, it has bounced back again and tried to reach newer heights.
2. Be an aggressive investor. When the market is down, I see it as a bumper sale with heavy discount on my favourite stocks.

@HopeAlways:
It is very challenging to remain patient when the stock market moves and changes so quickly. Patience is an important but often underused investment skill that many should develop more fully. Patience can be learned, learning it well can help one attain the desired financial goals.

@doctorpot1:
In a bear market, I'm selling lots of PUT options to try and accumulate more shares during this red red market. On top of that, I'm selling covered CALL options on all my stocks so as to earn some extra money while waiting for the market to recover.

Know what is your current situation and own, diversification is a must.Be ready to buy the dip.If you believe the stock is a good buy, consider to buy in sake of good company prospects but don’t all in, keep some cash for other purposes.

@HuatEver:
A rudimentary one is the art of being unfazed and positive in any market downturn because a positive attitude develops an optimistic outlook. What is important is, to stay calm and focused through the market changes and we will surely overcome these challenges with ease and less anxiety.

@KT88:
Options were originally created to manage risk on investments. Options can provide one with some downside protection if you use them the correct way. In a bear market, while volatility is rising, consider using options to protect our portfolio.

@ZnWC:
As new investor, I often heard the above quote when the market is down. However I think not many fully understood that it is not blindly buying the dip. You will need to do research, collect data and past experience to support your decision how to buy.
