| Your Financial Goals Could Be Within Reach The dot-com bubble. The 2007-2008 financial crisis. 2020 COVID-19 crash. You may think market volatility is a bad thing, but it doesn’t always have to be. It’s true: Since 1928 there have been more than 25 bear markets in the S&P 500 Index. On the other hand, there have also been more than 25 bull markets, and over the long term, stocks have risen considerably. Notably, some of the S&P 500 Index’s strongest days have actually occurred during bear markets. That’s right: The market’s worst days have often historically been followed by its best days. And if you miss those days, you could be missing out on earnings. So how do you make friends with market volatility?
