After the technology sector’s recent meltdown that saw the Nasdaq 100 index plummet by more than 20% and cross the bear market threshold at its nadir, tech stocks have been racing higher.

Obviously, no one knows in advance when markets will crash nor when they will reach inflection points and turn upward again, which is why it pays to not take your money out of stocks when times look bleak. Instead, the right course is to remain in the market, and if possible to take advantage by buying shares of good companies that have been beaten down.
