Preparing for a stock market crash?


Recommended Posts

Some experts are warning that a stock market crash is imminent and should be expected around the US elections in October. So, being not much the wiser even after watching these videos, should I be pulling my money out of my investments before their value crashes, or should I not worry about it and ride out the storm? Would it be better to sell-up now and buy back in during the crash?

Why do you think the markets will collapse ?
Most have already taken a bit of a battering but the population still needs food, medicine, cars, energy and the population is also expanding globally with many more customers also requiring these things. Many funds are diversified and trade Internationally so if the USA hits the breaks it doesn't automatically kill Asia and China. The markets might take a hit but if they do and the prices fall that might be the perfect opportunity to buy stocks and funds and hope in the next 5 years they will recover with handsome profits. There are highly paid "experts" already working on this and fund managers will do their stuff. Good advice is to ensure you do not have to force sell funds to pay your bills over the next 6 months, so always keep accessible / safe money ( premium bonds for example ) that you could use to survive over 1 - 2 years during volatile times depending on your attitude to risk.

IMHO- unless your in "specific" Defensive stocks - GET the H£$K out and go to CASH! at the very least!

MARKETS can go a little "higher" before the same sentiment  YOU are showing (WORRY) hits the rest of the "managers"  and then guess! where its Headed!?

More "DOWNSIDE" is likely than "UPSIDE"! - 

ALL IMHO! 😉👍

"Bert wert duz AYE NO! 😉👍

I would not call the pension craft guy an expert! I have chatted to him one to one, nice guy but he is not a messiah & a bit old school - he is just trying to make some money on Youtube as far as I can see. I considered his power hour, but he knows very little about stocks outside of bonds & really safe stuff like index funds. Now is the time to take a few risks as you will kick yourself in 3 years time. 

I am new to this so cant really help much, but do you have a list of stocks you own as that would be good to see. I would be very much monitoring any technical stocks (Apple) & put in a stop loss if things look a bit dodgy (ie like the drop thats happening now) If i had Tesla stocks that would have been sold about a month back personally, even if it continued to rise!!! As Buffet says be fearful when people are greedy. I feel that some serious Nasdaq bargains are around the corner, I think another lockdown will happen next flu season (Feb 2021), but thats a guess. So much so I am hopefully drawing out £70k to invest in aristocrat dividends & the big tech players that have a future (ie not Apple) if it all tanks. Air B&B also if that goes PLC by then!

If you own hard core stocks that have a lot of history (ie P&G) I would not really be too concerned. Erm the commodes are set to really out perform everything so if you have stocks in agriculture or mining, I would personally be adding to the position, especially gold & silver mining. Oil is at bargain prices also. If you have a tired portfolio, I would be looking towards future stuff, like 5g, cloud computing, AI & space. Thats just my opinion. :)
