In the U.S., the Dow Jones Industrial Average has soared from around 40 points, when the index was established in 1896, to about 9700 points last week. Many crises have hit the New York Stock Exchange--the Great Depression of 1929, the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, the Black October (:lash in 1987, and now, the terrorist attacks an New York and Pentagon on Sept. 11. Each trine the Dow dropped like a stone--only to bounce back to grater heights.
The lesson: Anchor your portfolio in top stocks--known as "blue chips" in many markets-- and hang on to them. Accumulate more shares when there's blood in the streets. "Good quality companies are always the first to turn around when the market rebounds, says Peter Reichenbach, managing director of Swiss - based Gottardo Asset Management. "I'd suggest global blue chips. With internationally strong companies, you don't have to worry that they won't be around next year."
