Stocks and Crypto to Buy in a Bear Market | Opportunity in the market right now.
That’s right, even in today’s bear market, retail investors have big opportunity right now.
If you’re a new investor or entered the market during the bull run, chances are your portfolio is down significantly.
But don’t let your first bear market shake you off because there are numerous opportunities out there that have the potential to yield big returns.
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while now, you’ve more than likely capitalized on opportunities such as AMC, HYMC, Shiba Inu Coin, Terra Classic, and Bitcoin during properly and fortunately timed moments.
So, what’s new?
In this article, I’m going to go over the opportunities I see that lie ahead for retail investors.
None of the information on my blog is financial advice but rather speculative content based on current information and trends in the market.
And with that being said, let’s get started.
Not Invested in The Markets Yet?
If you or someone you know are not invested in the markets yet, the two articles below are going to walk you through, step-by-step on how to buy stocks for the very first time and how to buy cryptocurrency for the very first time, too.
Much information on how to invest in the markets is outdated so I wanted to create easy guides for beginners.
Remember, one of the greatest wealth you can share with someone else is that of knowledge.
Opportunities in the Stock Market Today
Opportunities in the stock market today.
During a bear market share prices tend to tumble, hence why many long-term investor’s portfolios tend to lose value.
And although we can’t entirely time the bottom, we know that at some point the stock market is at a massive fire sale.
Value investors such as you and I can pick up shares from our favorite companies at these low prices before the market reverses trend.
Economists, analysts, and entrepreneurs alike predict there is still room for another 10%-15% drop in the markets.
But for the record, these are just predictions after all.
The point here is for value investors to capitalize on this falling trend by purchasing low and holding during the next bull market.
Whether you choose to capitalize on opportunities presented in a bull market or not will ultimately be up to you.
However, capitalizing during a bull market will require value investors to buy during a bear market, not during the bull market.
After being involved in the retail community for almost three years now, there are stocks and crypto that just stand out as having big potential during the next bull run and I’m going to discuss them below.
Stocks Worth Buying During a Bear Market
None of the information provided below is financial advice, but rather speculative in nature based on market trends and current information at the time of publication.
AMC Entertainment Stock (AMC)
You’ve probably heard all the ruckus on AMC and ‘meme stocks’.
It’s true, the stock jumped from $5 per share to an all-time high of $72 per share.
AMC Entertainment stock is currently trading below $6 again due to this bear market.
What makes this stock such an interesting value investment is that it has a huge community made up of millions of people who plan to take its current price up again.
Plus, the company has beat earnings every quarter since 2021.
Investing in the largest movie theater chain in the world could prove to pay out big during the next bull market.
SPY Stock (SPY)
I’ve talked about SPY stock numerous times on my blog.
While the real estate market is set to retrace some of its gains, keeping an eye on this stock may provide retail investors with big opportunity during the next bull market.
GameStop Stock (GME)
What GameStop is doing with their NFT marketplace is genius and not a lot of people know about it.
Wonder why, *ahem, mainstream media*.
The video game company is making it available for people around the world to own actual digital items inside games through the use of blockchain technology.
The opportunity this technology will bring to entrepreneurs and flippers alike in the future is massive.
Investing in GameStop early on could have massive potential as our economy shifts towards the digital/metaverse economy.
Amazon Stock (AMZN)
Amazon is now affordable for just about any value investor to buy shares from.
The company stock traded above $3K per share before its 20-for-1 stock split made it available for everyone to purchase.
AMZN is currently trading below $100 per share and it’s a steal whether you’re anticipating another 10%-15% market drop or not.
Tesla Stock (TSLA)
Despite what you might think of eccentric billionaire Elon Musk, you cannot deny what the entrepreneur has created is fascinating in its own respect.
Tesla stock has shown outstanding growth in the past even after stock splits.
We’ve seen this company’s stock reach massive popularity during the previous bull market.
In fact, it was right under AMC Entertainment stock as the most searched for stock on Google in 2021.
Meta Platforms Stock (META)
Most boomer investors, like mainstream media, don’t truly understand the potential of Meta.
While Zucks might currently get made fun of by Wall Street ego, there’s a huge opportunity investing in early technology, especially a technology that one day may change the world as we know it.
Today’s innovators will carry the baton, whether old power likes it or not.
Crypto to Buy During a Bear Market
Crypto to buy in a bear market.
Here’s a list of cryptocurrencies I’m keeping an eye on in today’s bear market.
The market is down which means there are a variety of stocks retail investors can buy to build wealth this decade.
The problem is identifying which stocks will create the team you need to ensure your investing success.
I’ve compiled a list of stocks along with a simple strategy that’s going to allow these stocks to compound over time so that when you’re ready, they start paying you passively.
By the end of this article, you will have the knowledge you need to begin building your very own wealth through stock investments this decade.

Let’s dive right into it.
Compounding starts with reinvesting
Which stocks to buy?
The list below is made up of cash dividend paying stocks, companies with enough cash at hand which allows them to pay cash dividends to its investors every quarter.
The key here is to ensure that you opt in to ‘reinvest’ these cash dividends back into the asset so that your number of shares automatically compound every quarter.
On some occasions, the default setting is set to ‘cash’ instead of ‘reinvest’, which means your broker account will receive the cash dividend as a form of payment and settle in your funds like a deposit.
When you’ve built a strong retirement portfolio and you’re ready to claim the fruit of your labor many years from now, then you’ll want to begin taking that big cash.
But in the meantime, we’re focusing on setting ourselves up for that chapter in our lives so make sure you opt in to ‘reinvest’ that cash dividend.
Over time, you will see your number of shares grow fractionally and then eventually turn into whole numbers.
This process will continue repeating as you continue to fund your cash dividend stock portfolio.
Which Stocks Can Take Care of You Forever?

Other Stocks?
Investing in other stocks that aren’t paying cash dividends could be a great way to raise capital fast.
One example is Tesla, AMC, GameStop, etc.
Retail investors who were able to jump on these stocks early were able to capitalize on massive price fluctuations.
The key here is to get in early, otherwise you may end up holding substantially large losses.
If you’re going to invest in individual companies, make sure you’ve done your due diligence and cash out when in profit.

Is your stock portfolio down? 3 Tips to navigate the bad weather
Nothing is more dissatisfying than seeing your portfolio down.
You work so hard to earn the money to invest it, finally begin to see some growth, and then the market dumps.
Now your stock portfolio is down.
Most of you aren’t ‘hedging’ against your losses like most financial institutions are either.
So, what can you do to navigate this bad weather?
Here are 3 tips that will get you through it.
Welcome to Franknez.com – if your stock portfolio is down right now some of you might be wondering whether you should cut your losses or not. Here’s what I’m personally doing.

#1. Increase your position(s)
Increase your position when your stock portfolio is down
One way I personally take advantage of the market when my stock portfolio is down is by increasing my positions.
If you’re a long-term stockholder like I am then you understand the current market situation is only temporary and the market always tends to bounce right back up.
This means that any stock that’s red in my portfolio is at a discount.
Some of you who are part of my private community have received alerts and notifications of when I’ve bought a dip (both stock and crypto).
It’s these types of strategies that have allowed me to weather the bad storm when my portfolios are down.
Why buy on red days?
Why buy when the market is down?
Buying on red days even if your portfolio is down means you will profit as soon as the market begins to trend upwards again.
If a stock you purchased is down -5% then it goes down to -10%, you can take advantage of buying the asset cheaper at -10% if you anticipate its value will go back up.
In this scenario, if the value goes up again and the original stock you purchased has broken even, then the other share(s) you bought low are up +5%.
If your conviction towards a stock or company is strong, buying heavy during the lows could significantly increase your portfolio’s value as the stock begins to climb again.
While many novice investors might panic at the sight of their assets declining in value, it’s best to stay calm and rely on your conviction and have a strategy in mind.
Other assets you can invest your money in when your portfolio is down could be a business, a crypto wallet, or even in yourself.
One way I’ve invested my money during this bear market aside from stocks and cryptocurrencies has been in my business and in my health.
The reason we invest is to get a return.
So why not invest in a startup or even in yourself?
Because ultimately you are the vehicle that’s going to take you to where you want to be.
Think about how else you can make a return on the money you’re about to invest.
Nothing is ever certain, not even in the stock market.
Take a risk and invest in yourself.
Assets you can invest in other than stocks
Cryptocurrencies
NFTs
Startup/Side Hustle/ Business
Health
You’ll find that once you invest in other income generating opportunities, those same opportunities will eventually allow you to invest more into the markets and within one another.
This form of diversification is going to armor you up for when your stock portfolio is down.
Keep track of your net worth as well as the sources growing it to build your portfolio’s confidence.
#3. You can always play it passively
Long-term investing
When your stock portfolio is down, you can always choose to play it passively and do nothing.
You understand building your net worth is going to take time despite what the market is going through.
Perhaps you don’t find cryptocurrencies or startups attractive, and that’s okay.
This third tip is to be patient and let your portfolio go through the growing pains.
Believe me when I say I’ve been there too.
The important thing here is to stay calm and not let your feelings control your financial decisions.
I know too well this is one of the hardest things about having money planted in the stock market.
But in the end, this all about taking in that learning experience so you can do better the next time an opportunity comes your way.
When should you cut your losses?
You should cut your losses only when you’ve identified an investment is a dead play or you are not seeing results after 1-2 years, especially if you’re going long on a stock or company.
Day traders cut their losses quick because they’re in the stock market for short-term gains.
Long-term investors should keep a close eye on what they’re investing in to identify whether there is future growth of a stock.
One way I’ve identified a potentially great long-term stock is by looking at the stock’s history chart.
If there’s been consistent growth for over a period of a few years, then you can assume the trajectory will follow in the coming years.
I created a list of these type of long-term stocks here.
I cut my losses on SPRT shortly after the merge with Greenridge because at that point I didn’t trust the company nor its partners.
Another stock I sold was AT&T because after a little over a year all it did was consolidate and its performance was not on parr with my expectations.
These are just my personal experiences selling stocks in the market.
AT&T has a great dividend, and I might create a portfolio specifically based on dividend stocks in the near future to further amp up my portfolio strategy.
Is your portfolio down?

Is your portfolio down?
And if so, how are you navigating through today’s bear market?
AMC Entertainment stock (AMC) has taken over the financial world. AMC stock is up nearly 3000% and it hasn’t even squeezed yet. The stock is currently trading at $51.96 per share.
Perhaps you’ve been debating whether you should get in and purchase something. Don’t feel bad if fear of missing out is kicking in. Here’s what you need to know.
Welcome to Franknez.com – the blog where you can digest content on personal finance, side hustle ideas, entrepreneurship, and trending investing topics.
Lets get started!
Despite the desperate attempts from the manipulative media to divert the public from buying AMC stock, new retail investors continue to educate themselves.
Disclaimer on the home page, I am not a financial advisor. Why would anyone want to be a financial advisor any when most don’t even follow their own advise. With that being said, I have a passion for guiding people. If there’s an opportunity on the horizon then I will share it with you.
It is up to you whether you want to take it or not. AMC Entertainment stock is that opportunity at the moment.
Will AMC stock keep going up?
I just recently published an article on the technical setup that shows us the support levels that will take AMC to $100 per share. This post goes over the levels of resistance the stock will need to break in order to continue surging.
Zoom out to the monthly chart and you’ll notice that AMC stock has had a very bullish run based on what seems to be merely volume. Retail investors are buying the stock to squeeze short sellers out of their positions.
This event is what is known as a short squeeze. A short squeeze could skyrocket this stock beyond comprehension. How high can AMC stock go? Retail investors will have to hold their positions long enough to find out.

Be patient
I’ve been buying and holding AMC stock since early February. I’ve seen the price go up from $5 to where it’s currently trading. And although at some point I was under $9K (on paper), I’m now up close to 6-figures.
BUT, I’m not cashing in. That’s because my conviction in the stock is #AMCSTRONG.
The AMC community is holding for many reasons. Everyone has a story. And the beautiful thing about this movement is that the data tells us there’s no ceiling as to how high this stock can go.
How much is 10 shares of AMC stock worth?
AMC’s stock price as of July 5th is worth $51.96. This means you 10 shares will cost you $519.60. This is the average cost of a car payment today.
Where will your investment be when AMC is trading at $100 per share? Your 10 shares will be worth $1,000.
So, is it worth buying 10 shares of AMC stock?
Considering you can double your money short term, this might be a good trade for the novice retail investor. However, you must know that if hold the stock, you might just be able to make a life changing trade.
The AMC community is not planning to cash in at $100 per share. No, the community is riding this out for the short squeeze where the potential is well above 4-figures and beyond.
I’m personally building capital to multiply in AMC before it goes to $100 per share. However, I will not be pulling any investment out until short sellers have been squeezed from their positions.
If you’re an AMC shareholder, not only do you own the biggest movie theater company in the world, but you hold a very valuable ticket to financial freedom.
What are the risks of investing in AMC Entertainment?
The number one risk is always never taking the risk. This of course is merely my opinion. And that of many highly successful individuals but you can make this assessment for yourself.
If you’ve been watching the stock for quite some time but haven’t gotten in, your risk increases as the stock price increases. Your chances of making significantly more money on this trade decreases by a bit.
If you plan on getting in on AMC for this 9/10 squeeze potential rating by Fintel then you don’t have much to worry about regarding entry price. Just try to buy on a red (discount) day or during a dip.
The only scenario where you lose money is if you get in on AMC stock at $60 for example, it drops down to $55 and you take your money out because this small drop scared you.
This is not the way it’s played. The market does this, it goes up and goes down. AMC is currently bullish despite the high consolidation at the moment. It’s nature at the moment is to trend upwards.
If you’re a seasoned ape reading this article, you’ll have to identify whether buying 10 shares at this price is going to make a difference to your portfolio. It may not be a lot of shares from a glance but it a few thousand can add up.
