FYI: The only thing we can be certain of as stock market investors is the fact that stocks will go down. We don’t know when and we don’t know how much but stocks have to fall at some point otherwise they wouldn’t offer a risk premium over other asset classes. There is no premium without the pain.
But not all losses are equal when it comes to investing in the stock market. There are different tiers of losses depending on where and how you’re invested in stocks. The way I see it, there are three main tiers of stock market volatility: (1) developed markets, (2) emerging markets, and (3) individual stocks.
Here is a breakdown of the hierarchy of stock market losses by each one:
