The best way to avoid bear markets is to refrain from investing. One of the famous quotes attributed to Charlie Munger is ” Tell me where I am going to die and I won’t go there” In stock markets, bear markets are part and parcel of the game. If you are too scared of them, or want to avoid them altogether better not invest on your own. Ideal thing in such a scenario would be to invest through SIP in a disciplined way for 10-15 years and hope for the best.
@Anand_Dharsandia has provided a good list of books and guidelines to follow with respect to your queries.
Most investors after years of experience will not be able to predict exact time of bear markets. So trying to predict them is a pipe dream.
I have been seriously investing in markets since 2008-09 and since then have faced many bear markets of varying intensity and duration and still have come up to fight another day. That’s the spirit to have if you are investing on your own. No one likes a bear markets but its tough to predict one and always get it right.
