With the exception of a few blips, stocks have enjoyed a stellar run since 2009 — for twelve years of ever-increasing prices and gains. For younger investors, it might seem like stocks and real estate always go up — that investors just can’t lose. However, January’s stock market rout has been a stark reminder that reversals can be swift. In under a month, the NASDAQ Composite Index dropped -13%. Many individual stocks plunged far further.

For answers, I turned to Liz Ann Sonders, the Chief Investment Strategist of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
