▶️ Watch on 3Speak


It is easy to deal with bull markets. However, bear markets are a part of life and are unavoidable.

From a psychological perspective, bear markets can be the best thing for us. It is during these times that we learn about ourselves. How do we handle fear? Where does greed come into play? Are we unwilling to sell?

In this video I discuss some of the implications of bear markets and how we can benefit from. Make no mistake, they can be expensive lessons to learn. But if we learn the lesson, we will not have to pay twice.

Bear markets provide the best opportunities to accumulate on the cheap and then profit when the greed hits astronomic heights during the bull market

It seems like the vast majority of people move with the crowd (groupmind). So this creates trends. If everyone was evaluating on their own, we would probably not have bull and bear markets. But we clearly do and we clearly see masses of people buying or selling together. And it seems like the shrewd traders aim to predict what the crowd will buy so as to buy it before them and sell it to them.

The trend is your friend until its not. There is no point in fighting the trend most of the time and its what the momentum traders end up doing most of the time. Which is why you should be careful and identify the trend based on your investment strategy (short or long term investment) and act accordingly.

Some words of wisdom from the desk of taskmaster!

I think you've done a good job in this video encouraging the growth mindset. The bear market is going to hurt, it will hurt some more than others. What would be worse than getting wrecked in the bear market? well that would be going through it and not learning anything from it (or even worse; knowing it's coming, not preparing, and then on top of it getting wrecked and not learning).

It's an opportunity to grow your knowledge, grow your skills, and avoid making the same mistakes twice.

Also for this reason that I think "advisors" or mentors are of great value in helping you avoid the pitfalls and mistakes that others have made.
