How investors can take advantage of stock market sell-offs

Dusseldorf How do investors recognize the end of a longer downtrend? Experienced stockbrokers know the answer: There is a final sell-off from which prices then rise again sustainably. What sounds simple in theory is similar in practice to trying to tick six correct numbers on the lottery ticket.

At the final sale there is a doomsday mood. Investors just want to save their money because they expect further price losses and see the final “sell-off” only as the prelude to further sell-offs. But it also offers investors opportunities. The Handelsblatt explains why it can make sense to orientate yourself on the VDax and how you can prepare for re-entering the markets with little risk.
