The volatility of the markets may seem concerning to many investors but&nbsp;we&#8217;re going to present our take on a down market and why we view it as an opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-066a0c20-c518-4828-b13f-e22069f0c936\">Our view:<br><strong>Whether the market is up or down, we don&#8217;t care because it&#8217;s good news either way!

It&#8217;s difficult to predict how long the Market Crash &amp; Recovery period will be. So there&#8217;s no point trying or listening to someone who makes &#8216;crystal ball&#8217; predictions.<br>2. As long as you&#8217;re buying valuable businesses, managed by competent leadership, the equity markets can reward investors for taking risks in the&nbsp;<em>long run<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"block-675cff80-fe95-44fa-9011-0ea9f416bb04\"><img src=\"https:\/\/coachtestprep.s3.amazonaws.com\/direct-uploads\/user-42063\/e3576559-61b9-4d79-8e02-d1144f8c9470\/market%20crashes.png\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is market%20crashes.png\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-aef40231-6084-4b65-b7ff-36bc491eff3b\"><strong>Reference:<\/strong><em>&nbsp;https:\/\/www.morningstar.com\/features\/what-prior-market-crashes-can-teach-us-in-2020<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-89842d0a-22ab-41c1-853f-06a5d5dd9d1f\">However, the markets can offer &#8220;hidden gems&#8221; that offer high-risk; high-reward investments that can explode in a shorter period of time. These &#8220;gems&#8221; \ud83d\udc8e are considered high-risk because they haven&#8217;t established themselves considering they&#8217;re still in a <em>startup<\/em> or <em>growth phase<\/em>. Whether they succeed will depend on multiple factors including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-6995ffeb-14d1-4227-8edc-c1852d43cfdf\">a.&nbsp;<strong>Market timing<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; How relevant is their product to &#8216;currently&#8217; provide a solution to a problem on a large scale?<br>b.&nbsp;<strong>Cash Flow<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; How much of a cash runway do they have (access to capital), before they run out of money?<br>c.&nbsp;<strong>Leadership &amp; Management<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; Does the company have access to a network and experience to help the company succeed, or is this their first rodeo?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-c09bf1dc-b4cf-4a43-87d3-29301435f4a8\">If you made some stocks picks, but picked them up at a higher price and the price has since dropped, it&#8217;s important to distinguish whether the price dropped because of &#8220;market sentiment&#8221; or because the company is failing to make &#8220;progress.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-a804f9e1-b021-47e9-a6e4-5f9a63aab899\"><strong>Market sentiment generally makes a stock <em>recoverable<\/em>, while failing to progress can make it <em>unrecoverable<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-be2aece6-520f-48cb-8e38-153f5014e398\">If you believe in a company&#8217;s value proposition, then consider a price drop simply as an opportunity to pick up more shares at a discount price, thereby lowering your overall average cost for the stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-9fbaab79-3e39-4534-a18d-ac5e049bd909\">The goal at <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tfsamillionaire.com\/investing-for-profits-made-ridiculously-simple\" target=\"_blank\">TFSAmillionaire.com<\/a><\/strong> is to search and present these &#8220;hidden gems&#8221; albeit they may be few and far between.
