IMO:

Where to invest during a bear market depends on the cause(s) of the market. If the cause of the bear market is the onset of a recession, one of the best places around will be the long-term U.S. Treasury Bond. (Do you really think a recession is coming, with unemployment at a 30 year low?)

On the other hand, if the cause of the bear market is excessive inflation, a long-term T-bond is the last place you want your money. In the case of inflation, hard assets such as real estate, gold, fine art, collectibles, etc. should be considered. (Do you really think we will have rampant inflation with the current inflation rate at a 30-year low? I don't.)

What will cause the bear market? We must answer this question before we decide on the best investment strategy during the bear market.

Best wishes,

I2
