Investors are growing increasingly worried about the Greek debt crisis and its possible implications across different markets. It's hard to tell what might happen next in this dramatically complex situation, let alone trying to forecast how the economic problems in Europe could impact other financial markets around the world. The cold, hard truth is that recessions and bear markets happen. They are hard to predict, and they can occur for a number of reasons, including economic factors, shifting investor sentiment, or many other unpredictable variables.
The bad news is that you can't forecast bear markets with any precision, but the good news is that you don´t need a crystal ball to make sound investment decisions over the long term. Rock-solid dividend powerhouses such as PepsiCo (NYSE:PEP), Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT), and Colgate-Palmolive (NYSE:CL) have the strength to endure all kinds of economic and financial uncertainties and continue delivering growing cash payments to investors over the long term.
