Bear Market Misconceptions: What You Need to Know | Fisher Investments

Fear and bear markets go hand in hand. Perhaps the most frightening part of bear markets is the lack of certainty surrounding them. Is this actually a bear? If so, how long will it last? Staying disciplined during uncertain times can be uncomfortable, but making rash decisions amid volatility can prove to be costly. In this video, K.C. Ellis describes some common bear market misconceptions to help you identify a bear market.
Bear markets are defined as fundamentally driven drops in the stock market of around 20 percent or more over an extended period of time. Some investors confuse bear markets with corrections. Corrections are generally sharp, sentiment-driven downturns of roughly 10 to 20 percent. Since corrections are driven by sentiment rather than fundamentals, these drops can happen for any or no reason at all. We believe through extensive fundamental research, it’s possible to identify a bear market and possibly sidestep a portion of the downturn and avoid some of the losses. While you may not need to sidestep a bear market to meet your goals, having an understanding of what causes them can make you a better investor.
