Diversification: Focus on Resilient and Rebounding Sectors
Historically, defensive sectors like consumer staples, utilities, and healthcare perform better during and after bearish markets.
Look for cyclical sectors such as financials, technology, and energy, which tend to rebound strongly as the economy recovers.
KLSE-Specific Sectors to watch:
Plantations: Rising palm oil prices may drive recovery in plantation stocks.
Technology: Watch for undervalued growth stocks benefiting from global tech recovery.
REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts): Offers stable dividends and capital appreciation as property markets recover.

While it's natural to be curious about such claims, it's important to approach them with skepticism and a focus on evidence-based information.
