MONEY

The Secret to Creating a Bull Portfolio in a Market Downturn

“The way to make money is to buy when blood is running in the streets” — John D. Rockefeller

Since Monday, Wall Street has been soaking in its blood bath. Clearly, John D. Rockefeller knew a thing or two about making lots of cash. So why not follow his advice? While the market is slipping into “Correction Territory”, why aren’t more people using this situation to their advantage? The answer is simply: Fear. Media outlets are masters at manipulating your perception of the economy and especially great at invoking fear. While I don’t want to waste time talking about a market correction or why it is happening now, I do want to share something very valuable I’ve learned that have kept me afloat through every market decline since 1987.

One thing that has rung true through each historical market downturn is that it breeds winners. While the winners make up a very small population, they do exist. I’m talking about the smart, savvy, strategic investors who know how to make just as much money on the way down as they do on the way up and the ones who create a bull portfolio during a rocky market.

So what is the secret I learned to make money during every market downturn?

Buy blue-chip stocks that are seriously underpriced.

I’ll even give you a head start on stocks that I think are ripe for the picking:

Ford Motor Company — $F

Ford is a seriously undervalued stock that is paying out a decent dividend.

Apple — $AAPL

We haven’t even begun to see Apple perform even though it was gone up 300% in the last four years.

Groupon — $GRPN

Groupon is ripe for acquisition.

Hewlett Packard — $HPQ

This division of HP is also ripe for acquisition.

Beyond Meat — $BYND

A great startup company that is now off with a bang. They have deals with Carl’s Jr., Tim Horton, and KFC. This one is a winner.

Of course, there are other smart moves to make during a market downturn. Like hoard cash, liquidate risky positions, and buy assets that are seriously under-priced.

Every investor has their own way of dealing with volatile market conditions. Whether you choose to follow one of these strategies mentioned here, or you decide to make a power playbook of your own, the key is to avoid reactivity. A slow and steady approach will produce great results, regardless of what specific strategy you follow.
