Markets naturally go up and down. Over the long run we all know they go up a lot more than they go down. But in these times of market volatility it can be stressful on all of us. The key to managing stress from fluctuations in the market is to ignore noise.
We created your portfolio based on your long term goals and to make sure you are well diversified, so you don’t need to worry about occasional market dips which newspapers and other media tend to sensationalize. Investing is about long term returns not short term ratings.
In fact stocks are actually on sale, so now could be a good time to go shopping. Although significant market dips can be attention-grabbing, they can also present a buying opportunity.
Please let me know if you want to discuss anything at all, from this weeks’ market news to specifics about the portfolio we have implemented.
