One of the things that could be considered is the concern over the economy of Europe and the United States (U.S.) go back into a recession.

But, of course ‘tarot cards’ the analysts are not always right. European leaders could have suddenly found a way to resolve its debt crisis, local banks recapitalize and pay its debts.

According to the Investment Planner Harris Private Bank in Chicago, Jack Ablin, as quoted by Reuters on Thursday (10/20/2011), there are five steps that can be done in the face of poor market:

Arrange the right strategy before the market gets worse
If you want to invest in stocks, there are opportunities in the bearish market. You can buy high quality stocks when the stock market crashed.

Cash is never a ‘god’ before finally drop the exchange rate. But that does not mean you are not able to benefit from the money. Focus on short-term needs first, such as emergency funds, insurance expenses, tax bills and others. Avoid save money on insurance or banks that have exposure to Europe. Find low-interest bank deposits but safe.

Fatten ‘pension fund’ you
Pension fund is not the annuity, but the more money you can make from the stock market. Do not stop investing just because the market is down. You can buy more shares so the index drop. Find good companies, not only in domestic market but are looking to developing countries. This is the best way to get a big profit.

Protect your assets
Do you have various kinds of insurance or a deposit for a house down payment that will be used in the near future? If so, there is no point you enter the capital market. Le bi good concentration prior to the above. Better you look for housing loans (mortgages) Bergman low or insurance with premiums that are not too big to secure your assets.

Be honest to your financial adviser
If you think the risk has begun to rise, you need to communicate with your financial adviser immediately. The most serious question is, you are ready to lose up to how much? Is 10 percent, 20 percent or not at all? If you’re approaching retirement, ask your financial adviser to hedge against your stock portfolio when the market is falling.

Who can be trusted to protect you? Reliable advisers will listen to your concerns and aspirations. Actually, no matter what the situation if the market moves as financial advisers are working according to your wishes. If they do their job well, no longer need any term bullish or bearish.

Pay about U.S. $ 250-400 per hour to review the entire investment portfolio you complete the next investment destination, as well as the possibilities if there is a change in the situation. After that, browse the internet and many are learning about investing. You will realize that too much money has been spent for your financial adviser.

12. Set Limit Sell Before Buying

A lot of advice about the investment that essentially help you give an idea of ??what and when to buy.
