With the Nasdaq traveling in regions not visited since late 1998, investors are running for cover.
Bear markets can be devastating.
But instead of throwing up your arms in defeat and moping about the losses, make use of the time. Don't be left running behind the pack when the next bull rally takes off. If anything, a bleeding market provides investors the opportunity to step back and gear up for the next rally. Preparing yourself will take persistence. It's a big task, but nothing comes easy, which is why now is the time to do your homework.
