The Biggest Mistake You Could Make When Stocks Crash!

When the market starts to crash, emotions run high, and it can feel like chaos. We see our portfolios declining, the news hyping up fear, and the urge to panic sell can be overwhelming. But we need to remember that every market downturn is an opportunity, not a reason to panic. Throughout history, despite major crises, the market has always recovered and grown stronger. Our goal should be to manage our emotions, stay rational, and see these times as chances to buy more or hold steady, rather than making rash decisions. Let's focus on the long-term and avoid the common mistakes that can hurt our financial future.

👀 Watch our Stock Market for Beginners Series. This series is your complete guide to getting started investing in the stock market correctly so you can avoid 99% of investor mistakes. We will teach you the basics of investing, setting up your brokerage account, and buying your 1st stock.

So true! Market downturns are a natural part of the cycle. Stay calm and focused on your long term goals.

The average stock in my portfolio has been cut in half, and the only way to make money this year has been to either short or to trade long in very short time frames. I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my dipping $117k stock portfolio, what’s the best way to take advantage of this market?

Diversification is the secret to optimal performance. This is why I have my interests set on market sectors based on performance and projected growth, such as the EV sector, renewable energy, Tech, and Health. Keep investing regularly and you'll be blown away how much it can change in a few short years. Here's to $1 million and to FIRE

Thank you for sharing. Financial education is crucial today to show incredible resilience and discipline in the volatile market, masterfully balancing strategy and insight for success. This dedication to continuous learning is inspiring.. i have delve deeply into active trading and managed to grow a nest egg of around 2.1BTC to a decent 15B TC in the space of a few weeks... I'm especially grateful to Shea Ardolf, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape..

AI stocks are poised to dominate in 2024, and I’m particularly drawn to NVIDIA. They're strategically positioned for long-term growth, especially with their strong support for other AI companies. I know someone who saw over 200% returns with NVIDIA, which makes it even more compelling. I’ll also keep in mind the other recommendations you've shared.

Crash fatigue is showing with most people. Most are so tired of hearing about the worse even though its true. We are being boiled slowly in the pot! I want to diversify my $80k portfolio.

My spouse and I are adding a variety of stocks/ETF to my present holdings for the long term, We've set aside $250k to start following inflation-indexed bonds and stocks of companies with solid cash flows, I believe it is a good time to capitalize on the market for long-term gains, but it wouldn't hurt to know means of actualizing short term profit.

Awhile back I read a book called "The Great Depression: A Diary" by Benjamin Roth. Roth was a businessman and attorney from Youngstown, OH that recorded news during the Great Depression. It is in the top 10 of business books I have read, honestly. What I learned is that the two hardest parts of investing by an average investor during recession/depression are 1) having the guts to do it and 2) having the cash to do it. Things can get very tight for the average family and to weather a 2-4 year storm is tough when they have to put food on the table. I think the best way to make money when you smell a recession coming is to tighten up hard on expenses needed for the next 4 years and invest all your other cash in the low-priced, high-quality stocks.

Thanks for sharing your content, as always. You guys have a lot of wisdom and I hope others hear you loud and clear.

Listen to his advice, because I learned the hard way during Covid 😢😢😢😢

So why does Warren Buffett sell off? Is he panic selling?

[Nick-guxb]

People aren't worried about it going to zero, they're worried about a >50% draw-down because we are currently in the last leg of late cycle

[scott-gyfe]

well done Paul! Down $3000 yesterday, did nothing, Today up $1000...hardest partis keeping control of emotions.

I've been watching your content for a while doing a great job! I would love to see your opinion on Rio Tinto stock. Thanks!

[cantstandtheestablishment]

That is one of the best investing videos I've ever watched. Why do people get scared when stocks go "on sale"? As long as you have a long time horizon, it's nothing to be concerned about; it's something to get excited about. I agree. I *want* the stock market to go down big, so I can load up! I actually hate how the market has gone mostly up since the GFC. It has been like a blow-up ball in a pool. Every time it has gone down, it pops right back up. I've been frustrated by how much it has been going up.

[Trisontraileryt]

As long as humanity persists on this planet, the market has no way but up.

[maddstaxx]

just be cautious. i havent seen it this bad since 2008. im not selling what i have, but 75% of my wealth is cash and i wont be buying this dip. i have price targets for a crash where i will DCA on the way down. i think i will be able to put most of my cash in by mid 2025. and i do believe this will last multiple years.

[timonweller]

Most panic sell every time and then price jumps back above where they sold, the model works over and over again. The narrative is to encourage retail money to sell, then they buy it all, they get richer and those that sell get poorer. Everytime.

[veliadisrosasjr]
