When investing during the bear market, there are some rules to follow. When choosing the “right” stocks, one should focus on quality. In other words, choose companies that have a real competitive advantage, whose balance sheets are rock-solid, and that aren’t overly indebted.
It is also important that you build your positions over time. No one can predict when the market will bottom out! Focus on recession-proof sectors.
So-called “bear market stocks” appear to be attractive to investors and can be found in defensive sectors such as consumer staples, consumer durables and healthcare.
Healthcare is definitely a safe haven as markets turn south.
