Don’t fight the Fed.

This is good advice … or at least it was in normal times.

But we’re not in Kansas anymore, and unfortunately for stock prices, the Federal Reserve’s best efforts are not enough to sustain a bull market.

That means stocks are headed for another steep decline as earnings struggle to climb back anywhere close to their previous levels.

Despite this, there are things you can do to thrive in this environment.

The Fed Is Helpless … But You’re Not

I’m not a pessimist by nature. I’m by no means a permabear. But we must consider the real-world economy when we invest in companies. Just like you, I want the economy to open back up tomorrow, but it’s going to take time.

Eventually headlines about Fed stimulus will take a back seat to headlines about continued sharp declines in earnings, not to mention continued unemployment and a hit to GDP. Which can only mean one thing … we are indeed headed for a double bottom.

But you can take advantage of this situation by taking some simple steps.
