Two things are the same in every bear market: Fear dominates in the crisis and the belief that this crisis is different from all previous crises. In retrospect, very few fears become reality. In the end, one is annoyed about the missed once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. So the question must be: “Where are the opportunities in this crisis?”
We want to answer this question and act accordingly so that you as an investor benefit in the long term!
