This is how I’m preparing for the next stock market crash so I can buy when others panic

News flash: stocks have fallen 20%, 30%, even 40%+ before, and they'll likely do it again.

You don’t control when it happens or why it starts.

You do control whether you're the person forced to sell at the bottom or the one buying while everyone else is panicking.

The solution is….

Diversification.

It never gets old.

If you are invested in things that hold up better than the stock market, not only will your portfolio experience a smaller decline, but you can go buy stocks when they’re on sale!

Whether it’s income coming from real estate, credit, infrastructure, etc. or uncorrelated hedge fund strategies that you can sell, you have an opportunity to keep dollar cost averaging into the falling stock market.

Now you can:

• Lower your cost basis / entry price into stocks
• Potentially increasing your long‑term return
• Shorten the time it takes your portfolio to recover from a crash

Instead of hoping you’ll have the courage to buy during a crash, build a process that makes it easier to do so.

Because buying stocks in the middle of a bear market feels like running into a burning building.

If you can have a diversified portfolio it could make the drawdown less painful and if you have a systematic rebalancing program in place, there should be no emotion behind the trading decisions.
