Investors should take a cautious approach to the markets amid recent geopolitical tensions, DBi Managing Member Andrew Beer says.
"It's not normal for big markets to move as much as they are right now," Beer told CNBC on March 23, citing recent volatility in Bitcoin, gold, oil and silver. "Something is deeply wrong in the market's ability to forecast the state of the world… The only thing we can all do as investors is: This is the moment to plan and to prepare for the worst. You hope for the best."

Beer said investors should not view the current market like 2025, when market rebounds offset tariff turbulence.
"The best thing to do in 2025 was just turn off your computer beginning of the year and come back at the end of the year, and you've made money, your stocks and your bonds and everything else," he told CNBC. "It won't continue like that. We will go through a more difficult period."
Beer said investors should approach the market as if they knew it would be 2008 or 2022 all over again.

Beer said he is looking to the private credit market and insurance company portfolios for signs of stress.
The S&P 500 was most recently down over 4% year-to-date.
