I love bear markets.

In bull markets shares are expensive and it is hard to find bargains.

In bear markets due to margin calls, panic and fear; good stocks are also sold down to bargain basement levels.

Example: a person could be holding good quality stocks. But he also dabbles in speculative stocks on the sideline. Suddenly, the market crashes & due to over leveraging or margin calls he is forced to sell both bad stocks and good stocks which he intends to keep.

So good stocks can be sold down as a result. In normal times people keep their gold and heirloom. However, due to unforeseen circumstances when bad times hit "even the most precious gold" is pawned for emergency cash.

Ha! this is the time to buy some real 99.9% real gold.

So how should we invest?

In Bull Run Times We MUST SELL OUR RISING STOCKS INTO STRENGTH.

As the Market goes higher and higher we should turn more and more cautious.

We Must Sell and Reduce Our Overvalued Stocks and Increase Our Cash Position.

Just keep a percentage of winning stocks still with Margin of Safety with potential to grow.

So At The Top We Must Only Be 30% to 50% Invested. And if the Market is Mad we should reduce our holdings even further to only 20% to 30% of the quality stocks. Of Course, We Can still find that occasional overlooked bargains. These we may safely buy some.

Now As The Bull Turns Into A Bear Market When All Things Bad And Good Are Thrown Out Together As A Whole in a time of great confusion we must search for those mispriced bargains. And there are many for the pickings.

At the very Bottom of the Market when people say

"Die lah"

"All is finished".

"Market is totally Doomed & Hopeless!"

YES! AT THE VERY DEPTH OF DEEP DESPAIR & MAXIMUM PESSIMISM WE MUST STEEL OURSELVES AND BUY MORE. LOAD UP MORE AND MORE BARGAIN STOCKS AND BE FULLY INVESTED AT MARKET BOTTOM!

It's like this - In the deepest depth of winter THINK of coming Summer.

And in the Hottest Summer prepares ahead for a Coming Winter.

第二 大市跌影响
去年和前年出现了大市忽然跌的例子，
也许是因为石油价格或经济状况，
导致很多个股都大跌。
这个时候，
如果是没有影响到基本面的，
还是应该买入，
比如除了石油股基本上都没影响到其他股票的基本面。
但是大市跌而引起的个股大跌有一个头痛的问题，
就是不知道会跌到什么时候，
很可能你太早买了，
股价过后还继续跌。
要分辨股价的低点需要长久的经验累计，
新手一般很难做到。

但是我有一招可以教你，
那就是无论你在什么价格买入，
只要基本面没变，
就要持有到价格恢复为止。
很多人在股市的大跌一开始捡榴莲，
但是看到股市继续大跌，
信心动摇或为了捡更低的榴莲，
就以更低的价格卖了，
同时也Miss 掉了股价过后的反弹。
但是如果你不卖掉，
等到股价反弹，
虽然你是少赚了，
但是起码还是赚的。

Haha, just wanted to pump in some positive to stocks investment. Stock investment entry level may just too low make it very unprofessional sort of investment. Not like property normally at least you need to hold for years before gain few hundreds k or millions from your investment. Patience is the key

property investment good in use of leveraging to magnificent your capital and may earn more than stocks.
