10 Rules for Surviving This Bear Market

John Lansing, March 7, 2009 Free Trading Guides

A Bear-Market Rally is Not a Bull Market

In general, we all want to be bullish, and are eager to see any upward market movement as a rally, even when it's not.

After a volatile beginning to the year, we are all somewhat gun-shy, especially in the face of mixed economic messages.

Regardless of your current opinion, you are best-served by feeling with your heart, while investing with your head.

Are fear and greed driving your investment decisions right now, or are you in control of your emotions?

If you're not sure, I'd recommend taking a step back and looking at the market from a different angle ... an unemotional one.
