The 7 Best Stocks to Buy in a Bear Market Three days ago, the SP 500 officially descended into bear market territory. As InvestorPlace writer Shrey Dua reported, this reflects a 20% drop from its all-time highest point. This is the second time since the first Covid-19 outbreak of 2020 that U.S. markets have dipped so low. As markets tumble, concern among investors persists regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine and further interest rate hikes. But through all the turbulence, it’s important to identify the best stocks to buy in a bear market. Conditions and headlines are frightening now, but it is important for investors to take a macro perspective. When stocks plunged in March 2020, the global economic landscape looked even worse. But a few companies emerged as pandemic-era winners and generated tremendous returns, such as Zoom (NYSE: ZM ) and Peloton (NASDAQ: PTON ). Now, the latest bear market is about to give rise to another class of winners. Even as high-growth tech stocks plunge and crypto prices hit rock bottom, there are still opportunities to look for.
