Up & Down

Being on a trampoline isn’t so bad. The lower you go, the higher you get.

With an Offense/Defense portfolio, going up & down with volatile stock markets actually works in your favour. You load up on shares at lower prices (during bear markets or following the release of disappointing quarterly results), leading to amplified returns when prices rebound (during bull markets or when severely underpriced companies are privatised by controlling shareholders or are bought out by competitors).
