To say it’s been a volatile year for the financial markets is a categorical understatement. Even though stocks plunged to all-time lows earlier this year, market indexes have regained their losses from March. At the time of this writing, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite have realized year-to-date gains of approximately 5% and 23%, respectively, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average is down by about 2% from the beginning of the year but up 52% from its March low.
A number of analysts and investors are worried that the market’s recovery from its bear market lows will be short-lived and that another recession is looming on the near-term horizon. One thing’s for certain. There’s no way to predict the future.
But, with history as our teacher, we know that, whether months or years down the line, another market crash will occur. These are 15 things you’ll want to do when that happens.
