美股即将迎来熊市?专家们认为不必紧张

当市场开始下跌时,在采取任何激烈措施之前,最好先做一下深呼吸。

面对股市下跌,最好的应对方式是学习英国在二战时期的著名口号:保持冷静,继续前行。

在今年的股市动荡期间,这句口号尤其适合投资者。作为基准指标的标准普尔500指数(S&P 500)自1月创下历史新高以来,截至5月19日下跌超过18%,逼近熊市区间的边缘。

当市场开始下跌时,在采取任何激烈措施之前,最好先做一下深呼吸。

Bone Fide Wealth的认证理财规划师兼总裁道格拉斯·博尼帕斯说:“最重要的是不要恐慌,避免恐慌性抛售。”

首先,新手投资者(甚至有数十年投资经验的人们)应该先拿出一点时间了解什么是熊市,以及它会如何影响人们已经高度紧张的心态。

什么是熊市?

熊市是指主要股指从最高点下跌20%。这些股指包括标准普尔500、纳斯达克(NASDAQ)等指数。

就像你在客厅里看到一头熊时的反应一样,熊市会引发恐慌,尽管它并没有看起来那么可怕。你可以将熊市看作是最初令人不安、但实际上幅度较小的偏离常态的一种变化。

Heritage Financial的投资顾问兼主理合伙人基思·赫里蒂奇表示,熊市通常意味着市场正在进行调整。市场下跌不会持久,任何人做过一段时间投资都可能经历过多次股市下跌。

虽然熊市可能与经济衰退或者长期经济下滑有关,但它并不能够作为更长期经济衰退的必然信号。美国最近一次进入熊市是在2020年3月新冠疫情爆发之初,当时投资者因为疫情而陷入恐慌,但市场很快复苏。

熊市可能让投资者倾向于规避风险,出现恐慌心理,因此在这种市场下跌时期,重要的是保持冷静。

赫里蒂奇称:“我经常告诉其他人,无论市场表现如何,情况既不会像你想象的那么糟糕,也不会如你期望的那么美好。”

如何安全度过熊市

当市场下跌时,你的投资组合也会贬值,这时对投资者而言最重要的是记住自己投资的初衷。大多数人进行投资是为退休生活积累长期财富。

博尼帕斯表示:“如果你不清楚自己为什么投资或者没有计划,你就可以利用这次机会想明白。投资者没有确定的理财计划,在熊市期间可能更容易紧张。”

他认为,如果投资者制定了更清晰的目标,就能够比其他投资者更好地管理自己的情绪。

理财顾问们认为,年轻投资者因为经验不足尤其容易陷入恐慌,但实际上,熊市对他们而言,是低价买入股票的一次好机会。另一方面,接近退休或已经退休的投资者,或者计划在未来几年拿出一部分钱实现其他目标的投资者,最应该感到担忧。

赫里蒂奇指出:“如果你明年需要资金,就应该尽早将资金预留出来,而不是继续留在股市中冒险。但如果明年没有必要的资金需求,有时候这也是加仓的一次好机会。”

熊市充分说明了投资组合多样化且其价值不依赖于少数几项投资的重要性。

Azoury Financial的理财顾问和所有人史蒂夫·阿祖里说:“这是一次分析自己的投资组合很好的机会,问问你自己:‘我真得做到了多样化投资了吗?’”

阿祖里将非多样化投资组合比喻成“一位棒球手,他一度击出50次本垒打,可第二天他却击不中弧线球。然后他就被降级到职业棒球小联盟。”

借用棒球的比喻:不要把所有赌注押在一名某个赛季表现出色的球员或一只股票上,而是应该押在每年都表现良好的多名球员身上。

如果你的投资组合已经足够多样化,就没有必要调整投资计划。博尼帕斯称:“面对熊市,没有必要胡思乱想或者冲动行事。”

理财顾问们认为,总体而言,在紧张时期关键要保持冷静。赫里蒂奇表示:“面对市场下行,不要做出情绪化的反应,尽量采取客观的应对措施,这一点非常重要。”

这可能意味着当你开始紧张的时候,退出推特(Twitter)或Reddit。虽然社交媒体可能带来帮助,因为与2008年的大衰退不同,现在我们可以获取更多信息来指导我们的决策,但它也可能对我们的情绪产生更严重的负面影响。

博尼帕斯称:“现在信息的数量,甚至每天对你狂轰滥炸的虚假信息的数量,都远远超过13年前。”最好有节制地查看自己的社交媒体账号。

博尼帕斯警告投资者不要恐慌性抛售,他认为“人们现在选择抛售,三四个月后可能会后悔。他们出手的时机是市场的低位。”

事实上,MagnifyMoney的一项调查显示,去年有38%的投资者从市场中抽离资金,其中约40%的投资者后悔自己的决定。

赫里蒂奇说:“所有人都以为世界正在走向末日,或许不必太过紧张。”(财富中文网)

When it comes to responding to dips in the stock market, it’s best to channel that famous British WWII slogan: Keep calm and carry on.

The expression rings especially true during the rocky markets investors have endured this year. Since its January record, the benchmark S&P 500 stock index has fallen over 18% as of May 19, verging on bear market territory.

When the market starts dropping, it’s best to breathe in and out before taking any drastic actions.

“The most important thing is don't panic, and don't panic sell,” says Douglas Boneparth, certified financial planner and president of Bone Fide Wealth.

First, novice investors (and even people who have been investing for decades) should take a minute to understand what a bear market is, and how it could impact already heightened anxieties.

What is a bear market?

A bear market is defined as a 20% drop from a major stock index’s peak. Those indices can include the S&P 500, the NASDAQ, and others.

Just like seeing a bear in your living room, a bear market can cause panic—although it’s not as scary as it seems. Think of it more as a slight, though initially alarming, change from the norm.

A bear market means usually means something is being adjusted in the market, says Keith Heritage, investment advisor and managing partner of Heritage Financial. These dips aren’t permanent, and any investor who’s been at it for a while has likely experienced a few.

While bear markets can be associated with recessions, or periods of prolonged economic decline, it's not always a sign of a longer-term downturn. Most recently, the U.S. entered a bear market at the start of COVID-19 in March 2020, as investors were panicking about the pandemic. A recovery soon followed.

But bear markets can push investors toward risk-aversion and fear, which is why it’s important to stay above the fray during these declines.

“I've always said to people, it's never as bad as you think and it's never as good as you think, no matter what the market is doing,” says Heritage.

How to navigate a bear market

When the market falls—and with it the value of your portfolio—one of the most important things any investor can do is remember why they’re investing at all. For most, it’s to build long-term wealth for retirement.

“If you don't know why, or [don’t] have a plan, this is an opportunity to go get it,” says Boneparth, “People who don't have much of a set financial plan might become more nervous during a bear market.”

Those who have more structured goals may be able to better manage their emotions than those who do not, he argues.

And while younger investors might be particularly worried due to a lack of experience, a bear market is actually an opportunity for them to buy stocks at a discount, financial advisors say. On the other hand, investors near or in retirement, or who plan to take an allocation in the next few years for another goal, should be the most concerned.

“If you have some kind of need for money within the next year, it should be set aside already and not be exposed to being in the market,” says Heritage. “But if you're not necessarily needing the money in the next year, sometimes it's a nice opportunity to buy more stocks.”

A bear market drives home why it's so important to have a diversified portfolio that's value is not dependent on a handful of investments.

“This is really a good time to look at your portfolio and say, ‘Was I really diversified?,’” says Steve Azoury, financial advisor and owner of Azoury Financial.

Azoury likens a non-diverse portfolio to “a baseball player, one minute he’s hitting 50 home runs. And the next day, you can't hit the curveball. Well, then he's in the minor league.”

To extend the baseball metaphor: Don’t place all of your bets on the one player—or stock—who’s having a stand-out season. Bet on multiple players across the field who consistently do well year over year.

If you already have a diverse portfolio, you don’t need to overhaul your plans. “You don't need to get fancy, or sexy when it comes to navigating bear markets,” says Boneparth.

Across the board, the advisors say that it's essential to remain level headed in this stressful time. “It's just really important you don't make emotional responses to the markets going down, try to make objective responses,” adds Heritage.

That might mean logging off Twitter or Reddit when you start getting nervous. Though social media can be a gift—unlike the recession in 2008, we have access to more information to educate ourselves—it can also play on our emotions in the worst ways.

“The amount of information, even disinformation that’s bombarding you on a daily basis is far greater today than 13 years ago,” says Boneparth. It might be best to check your accounts in moderation.

Boneparth cautions against panic selling and says that “the people selling now will probably regret [it in] three to four months. They got out low.”

Indeed, according to a MagnifyMoney survey, about 38% of investors pulled money during the past year. About 40% of them regret that decision.

“Everybody thinks the world is coming to an end—maybe just take a breath,” says Heritage.
