Sometimes, even the stock market, generally confuses, and scares, certain people. Thus, it have to be no surprise than in the course of these times, when, after, about a decade of an, ever - rising stock market, we have endorsed, near - record - breaking, fluctuations, on  everyday basis, in both a positive and negative direction. Many have, in the past month, or so supported the asset value/ market - value, of their portfolios, drop dramatically. Since, it is commonly imprudent to over - react to what happens in one trading day or shorter - period, it makes sense to pay fervent attention, to what is causing this, and why. Before the onset of the current pandemic many experts forecast a decline either this year or next. One reason is decline happens regularly, but another cause is the appearance of our economy, and thus its impact on the stock exchange, have been somewhat boosted up by the large amount of monies, exaggerated by the Federal Government, by a consolidation of trillion dollar, shortfall as well as artificially low - interest rates. Many wonder nowadays, how, they have to invest for what is probably raising in this concern. With that in mind, this article will try to precisely think about, examine, review and talk about 5 possible types/ categories, to prioritize.

Defensive stocks

 Stocks which commonly oscillate less because their industries are deliberated necessities and are more calculable are often called defensive stocks. In most cases firms known as utilities such as electric and gas companies fit this niche. These types commonly pay dependable good dividends and undergo far less variation.

Niche - focused

Think about what might be considered important in the near to common – term. What specific niche industries may become more in - demand? For instance based on what has happened, we may think about companies who target on laboratory testing, medical research, medical/ scientific equipment/ supplies etc., might perform, better than most others.

Balanced

There is no such thing, as a Crystal Ball, when it comes to making investments and investment strategies. For this cause, it might make sense to create a balanced, well - considered, portfolio, which emphasizes financial fundamentals rather than just market - timing, speculation, etc.

Value – based

We often hear about Value Investing, but in uncertain times real value becomes even more relevant. Consider companies, which have quality basics/ fundamentals meaning whose price went down more because of overall trends than their own weaknesses.

Asset Management Mutual Fund

One approach to think about, in order to let investment experts, better guide you is to invest in Asset Management mutual funds, with historical consistency, in both rising and falling markets.
