【Events】What to Do When the Stock Market Crashes

Hi Tigers

How do you make money when a stock is falling? Leave a message in the comments section of this post, and you will win Tiger Coins.

Stocks fell on Wall Street Wednesday after inflation slowed last month but still came in worse than feared. The S&P 500 was 1.65% lower after waffling between gains and losses in early trading. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 326 points, or 1.02%, at 31,834, and the Nasdaq composite was 3.18% lower as tech stocks weighed down the broader market.

However, even in a volatile market, there are certain investors who have made money by shorting stocks, buying put options, or trading futures, to make money rather than lose it.Churchill once said, "Never let a good crisis go to waste." This remark was made in 1940 at the beginning of World War II. As investors, we should look for the silver lining and take advantage of the market's crisis mode.

    Warren Buffett has said "Be greedy when there is Fear in the Market".  So when the stock market crashes it is time to get greedy and go on a bargain hunting spree. "

    A good example is when Covid 19 pandemic hit Singapore in March 2020, DBS was trading as low as 19.00.  If you had bought DBS then, you would have made a huge profit at the last closing price of over 31.00.

    Another important point is not to put all your eggs in 1 basket but instead Diversify into different classes of assets - shares, bonds, gold, real estate and even Cryptocurrencies.

    Finally the most important thing to do is to stay calm and not panic sell.  Instead allow the magic of compounding to happen over time with good quality stocks like Apple, Microsoft and Alphabet.  That way there will be a pot of gold waiting for us at the end of the rainbow.

    Alot of people said stock market is like a roller coaster, see saw or yoyo, always goes up and then goes down again and again. It always repeat in cycles. Therefore, when stock market crashes, do not get panic as we know that the stock market will definitely go up again and It is just a matter of time. If we are holding alot of spare cash, this is the good time to buy alot of good dividend stocks and diversify our portfolio. If we don’t have spare cash, then we will just have to wait patiently for the stock price to go up then sell our stock. Keep the spare cash from the transaction and wait patiently for the next cycle when the market is down to buy.

    The above is very easily said but not alot of us is able to follow because we don’t have the patience to wait and capture the good opportunities. But I will still try my best to follow after going through a few painful lessons by selling the stocks below the cost price to cut losses.

      Thanks for your support and fully agree with you. We always wait and wait for the price to drop further. By the time we want to buy, the price will suddenly shoot up above our expected price.

    Market dips can be a buying opportunity. Think of it as buying stocks on sale when the market crashes. The trick is to be ready for the fall and willing to commit some cash to snap up investments.

    Stay calm and identify opportunities. Time to pick up good companies at value prices. The main limiting factor is availability of cash!Be prepared to enter in multiple tranches and get used to seeing a red sea. Red is the new norm[Chuckle]

    Invest in long-term stocks is right when the market is hit the rock bottom. The reason for this is simple, long-term stocks that last for over 10-25 years yield more profit.

    A perfect opportunity to buy more stocks when the market crashes. If you have saved enough and have other assets that generate income for you, this is the right time to buy more stocks

    One should also build assets outside the stock market that can ensure continuous money flow even when the stock market crashes.

    Focus on long term as it will enable us to perceive a big market drop as opportunity to build wealth by adding to your holdings, rather than as a threat that will wipe out your hard-earned savings.

    Do not panic selling when the stock market is going down as it can hurt your portfolio instead of helping it.

      Rule 3 - Pick the very best of your good companies, and put the bulk of your investment there.
      Rule 4 - Think long term - 5 to 10 years, minimum.
      Rule 5 - Volatility happens. Carry on.

      Rule 1 - Concentrate your investmentsa in outstanding companies run by strong management.
      Rule 2 - Limit yourself to the number of companies you can truly understand. 10 = good, >20 = bad.

    I'll prepared my cash [USD] to catch some opportunities. Some recommended bonds... [Speechless] But, I still preferred risking for high rewards instead = do not follow [Smart]
    Or DCA, a suggestion.

    Keep spare capital , 25% so can buy good stocks at lower price when crash happen. As don’t know if bottom in, buy in 3 tranches in case it goes lower. What I did, but can vary allocation as needed.
