That’s why I invest more in the broad market whenever there’s a steep drop. No, I don’t try to figure out whether stocks are objectively cheap, because I’ve learned market yardsticks can’t tell us where the market is headed next.

Instead, I simply take my cues from the magnitude of the market’s decline, and the bigger it is, the more enthusiastic I am about buying. That might sound naļve. But after decades of investing, buying aggressively during a bear market—coupled with leaning heavily toward stocks and favoring index funds—are the only ways I know to get an edge.
