How to get rich – ESPECIALLY when markets are down
Stock markets around the world are having a terrible year and an even worse past few weeks.
The JSE is down more than 7% so far in 2022 while the S&P 500 (an index of the 500 largest companies in the United States) is about 16% down since the beginning of the year, with most losses occurring in the second quarter.
The European Stoxx 600 is down 13% for the year so far while Japanese stocks have lost 16%.
The world is heading for a “bear market”, a prolonged decline in asset prices, typically of 20% or more from recent highs.
