Tough times, a bad economy, and a bleak outlook are seemingly good signs to stay away from investing...but is it really? Are there people succeeding in this bear market? The answer is yes. People are still making money in a poor market, but it isn't easy.
While some investors are pulling their money out and advising against investing, others are still throwing money at what they call a "prime market". Many big-name stocks have reached all time lows and appear to be bottomed out...or maybe not. That's what has investors worried; it isn't for sure...and nobody knows where the bottom truly is. Every recession seems to bring it's surprise bankruptcies and no one wants to be on the investment side of a bankruptcy. However, there are ways to make money in a recession, but it still has it's risks. Investing in a risky market requires research and knowledge of the investment. Throwing money at a stock in a bull market may not come back to bite an investor, but in a bear market in a recession...that's another story. It all boils down to knowledge research, and sometimes a bit of luck helps. On the flip side, some have merely switched investing from one market to the next. Many investors have left the stock market temporarily and have gone to real estate as an alternative. They are eating up low-priced, foreclosed homes and selling them cheap for a nice profit. There is always something to gain in a down market or economy if you can find it and take advantage of it.
