This week on Money & Investing, Mitch Olarenshaw and I discuss how to prepare for the next market crash by revealing five high quality stocks they’d buy immediately. Rather than fearing market downturns, they explain how disciplined investors can use volatility to build long term wealth by focusing on quality businesses at attractive prices.

1. Why a Market Crash Creates Opportunity

Market crashes can be unsettling, but they often provide the chance to buy exceptional companies at discounted prices. Andrew and Mitch explain why preparation is more important than prediction and how having a watchlist can help you act with confidence when markets fall.

2. Focus on High Quality Businesses

Not every company is worth buying during a downturn. Learn the characteristics that separate quality businesses from the rest, including strong balance sheets, reliable earnings, competitive advantages, and long term growth potential.

3. The 5 Stocks We’d Buy Immediately

The episode reveals five carefully selected stocks that Andrew and Mitch believe offer strong value during a market crash. They explain why each company deserves a place on an investor’s watchlist and what makes them resilient through different market cycles.

4. Remove Emotion from Investing

Fear often leads investors to sell at the worst possible time. Discover how having a structured investment plan can help you stay disciplined, avoid emotional decisions, and take advantage of opportunities when others are panicking.

5. Build Your Portfolio for the Long Term

Successful investing isn’t about timing the market perfectly. Andrew and Mitch share practical strategies for building a portfolio that can withstand market volatility while positioning you to benefit from the recovery that often follows every market crash.
