Stock market for beginners
Do not to panic if the value of the shares comes down rapidly. It is not advisable to sell to avoid further plunge. A strong constant fact about the share market is that it is subject to ups and downs.
If investors could, by some miracle, avoid the downturns altogether while participating in all the upswings (bull markets), their returns would be spectacular - even better than Warren Buffett or Peter Lynch.
We can hope. You can hope. But we’re all human, we all make mistakes. To do what one knows is best and to do it gladly.
Bear markets are inevitable, but so are their recoveries. Shorting stock can be another good way to profit in a bear market. This practice consists of selling it while the price is high and then buying it back after the price declines. You can also do this with stock that you already own, which is known as shorting "against the box." Of course, as with option trading, there are risks involved; if the stock price continues to rise after you have sold short, you will lose money. But this can be another effective method of generating income in a down market if your timing is right. It will pay off down the road, because another bear market is always on the horizon.
