Whenever there is a stock market crash, there is a common rookie mistake that people make because it’s easy to get wound up in the emotions of the stock market. Data is made up, but x-axis time frames are realistic.

Market Crash

3 Months Later…

Repeat a couple of times. Lose $$$$$. Lots of Stress.

It’s not guaranteed to be 10 years, but it can be. For the Great Depression it was like 30 years.

I made this short PSA for my many friends that are pretty lost when it comes to the stock market, and are possibly encountering a major stock market crash for the first time. If you have friends that are similarly lost, feel free to pass this along.
