Stock Market Crash - Your Decision And Numbers
from Modern Value Investing with Sven Carlin · host Sven Carlin
Before investing, you must know that stocks can crash 70% anytime and 50% of individual stocks will likely deliver negative returns or below 2% while 75% will under perform the market. If you are not ready for that, better don't invest in stocks! It is that simple! It is not about whether there is going to be a crash next, it is about what are you going to do when a crash comes and are you ready if stocks don't crash. I have looked at research that shows how investors under perform the market by trying to time a stock market crash and about how difficult it is to time it. The key is that you see how does the possibility and magnitude of a crash fit your tolerance. Stocks can crash 70% anytime and stay down for decades - are you ready for that? When it comes to individual stocks, the situation gets uglier. 30% of individual stocks will crash and actually deliver negative returns. Only 4% of stocks will do really great and compound! Can you handle the pain of investing in stocks? If you can't, I don't know, buy a house!
