<prompt> Human: Im curious if todays surge following bank stress tests is a dead cat bounce. Between increasing oil prices impending reinstatement of sanctions on Iran, international trade war first tariff goes into place beginning of August, tariffs against American allies, an increase in steel and aluminum prices, and slow fed interest rate hike are we looking at a perfect storm? Even if some of these expected announcements do not come to pass it seems like the fear alone may cause a massive sell off of stocks. Given that US bonds are also at an all time high, and if the above mentioned problems cause an increase in energy costs and an increase in national debt, it seems that traditionally lower risk investment strategies may not fully protect ones investments. Are my fears about a bear market unfounded? why? If were getting close to this economic cycle peak, where should I invest my money that it will be most resilient to a downturn?  <response>: Dont try to time the market. Just average down when it does
