François Rochon: Preparing for Market Downturns

In his latest interview with The Investor’s Podcast, François Rochon discusses the inevitability of significant stock market declines and how he prepares for them. He notes that even the best-performing stocks, including Berkshire Hathaway, have experienced 50% drops over the years.

Rochon highlights two major market downturns since he began investing 30 years ago – the 2001-2002 and 2008-2009 crises.

The key, according to Rochon, is to stay calm and rational during market declines and be mentally prepared for such events. His approach of focusing on finding the best investment opportunities during downturns has been a major factor in the success of his portfolio.
