Defensive Investing--How to Prepare for a Market Crash (In Advance)

Defensive Investing--How to Prepare for a Market Crash (In Advance)

With stocks, bonds and real estate at all-time highs, it's just a matter of time before we see a market correction, or worse. It doesn't help that our government is borrowing trillions of dollars, funded by a Fed who is buying bonds.

In this video we look at a Morningstar study on the diversification benefits of various asset classes based on their performance in past market crashes.
