What would happen if we had another stock market crash?

Answer 1

We'd ride it out and recover.

"Markets go up, and markets go down." --Ronald Reagan.

It's true. It's obvious. And the only thing that can make a mess of that saying is government intervention.

Answer 2

Nothing much, unless you have ALL your assets in the stock market....and rest assured, there will certainly be "crashes" in the future, but that should not affect anything about the way you plan your future! If the market drops 20% within a few days, people will run around like headless chickens, but if your planning is sound, you should have a stack of cash on hand to BUY quality companies at that time! The market will ALWAYS come back, unless it is the end of civilization as we know it. And if that is the case, then all the gold bullion in Fort Worth is useless even if you have it! You'll need guns, water & canned tuna fish!

Answer 5
