Here's the Money Morning guide on how to how to survive a stock market crash...
The Nasdaq winning streak we broke on Thursday, July 20 - 10 straight "up" days - was the longest streak in more than two years. It was the 20th time the Nasdaq had pulled such a feat since 1980.
Over those 20 instances, after one month, the index was up 80% of time with an average gain of 2.6%.

The thing is, it's also likely going to cause the next insane spike in volatility and serve as the impetus for the next market crash. Insanity!
Either way, no one - even active investors - can afford to keep ignoring what's happening...
