The stocks are down over 20% this year, making it one of many bear markets in history. Even the classic portfolio like stock&bond 60/40 also went down 21% year to date.
Normally, a diversified portfolio is a way to navigate through bear market, meaning to include both high-growth and low-growth stocks from different industries, as well as other asset classes.

Here's why the S&P 500 is such a great investment:
The S&P is inexpensive
This depends on where you buy but most funds that are passively managed can go as low as 0.01%
Fidelity even offers a ZERO expense ratio fund. ($FNILX)
That's right. ZERO!

Competition among companies is driving costs down and the investor wins.

Is there any safe portfolio in bear 🐻 market?


Personally, I think that there is no much option to play...

For me, I preferred to reduce my US stock position (which I did for my US portfolio since sep 2022 CPI result) & parked my cash in the MMF temperory

However, some may disagree as inflation is as high as 5% & the MMF is lesser % = basically lossing money

"In my early days I rejoiced when markets rose. Then I read Grahams The Intelligent Investor dealing with how investors should view fluctuations in stock prices. Since then, low prices became my friend. Picking that book was the luckiest moment in my life."

The current bear market is mainly triggered by inflation. However the causes are complicated: Ukraine-Russian war, FED rate hike which may lead to recession, strong dollar, supply restriction due to COVID-19 lockdown etc.
I think the followings may be safe portfolio but you should do your own due diligence (dyodd) before investing:

Bear market
Short selling allows investors to profit during a bear market, but it is a high-risk trade that can result in large losses if it fails. I may not be in this position to do so because I lack experience in this type of bear market rally. Here are some ideas to consider for a safe investment:
- Never keep all eggs in the same basket and diversification of the portfolio is a must!!!
- Think long term
- Prioritise quality
- Build positions gradually
- Don't try to catch the bottom, and so ...
