Fig.98. Sberbank JSC stock during the fall in March 2020 A very good tactic is to buy much cheaper assets at times of falling markets in crisis years. In Fig.98, we see that the shares of Sberbank JSC fell in price by 36.7%. Then, after 10 months, the price reached the previous value, i.e. it passed 56%.

The disadvantage of this method is the long waiting time for the right moment and the uncertainty of the time for the price to return to the target value. Also, the disadvantage may be the need for a long-term loan to maintain an open position for the entire duration of the strategy.
