Interview the Experts on March 20: How to Thrive in a Bear Market

Bear Market Strategies

Most investors know that sometimes markets go up, and other times they go down. And while many people will choose to look for shelter, others view a bear market as an opportunity. And the most savvy investors consider all their alternatives in any market, knowing which strategies can be used to play either side. Not only does a downswing eventually result in many undervalued companies to snap up before they potentially go back up, but there are other strategies that generate profit when prices continue to decrease.


To help everyone address how to invest in these market conditions, we’re very proud to introduce our brand new ZeccoEDU Topics page, How To Thrive in a Down Market.  We outline a number of different strategies – and you don’t have to take our word for any of it.  In addition this new page, we’ve lined up a few experts to talk with everyone about how their investing strategies have helped them in the past couple months.


Zecco's Chief Marketing Officer Gabe Dalporto will sit down with John C. Havens of BlogTalkRadio interviews and Money Managers and Authors Andrew Horowitz and Timothy Sykes on March 20th to help to sort out how to tackle bear markets.  And everyone gets to join in the conversation, simply by dialing in to the show!


Here are the details:
