Can you prepare for a bear market when everything’s looking great? It’s easier said than done

What you’re preparing for is doing the same things you always do, just in more hostile circumstances

The stock market is doing what it does so well: climb a wall of worry. Investor s have shrugged off higher, recession worries, tensions with China and commercial real estate problems. If your portfolio isn’t at a new high, it’s close.

. Continue making regular contributions. Stick to the mix of cash, bonds and stocks that best fits your time frame and goals. In other words, prepare to be your average self. Even without the requirement of greatness, however, staying on course is no picnic. One of the most important things you can do to prepare is have realistic expectations of what it will be like. As a starting point, I’ve compiled a list of what you’ll be experiencing when the bear market hits .Earnings and economic reports won’t be mixed like they are now. They’ll all be bad.
